Memoirs from the She's In Color: A Social Affair (By Amour Genesis)
She’s In Color: A Social Affair!
The "Color Girls" holding up portraits of ourselves from our recent photo shoots for the She's In Color Campaign!
Last weekend, I hosted an event for She's In Color, a women's empowerment organization that I am the Spokesmodel for. It's so funny and most people may not expect me to say this, but no matter how many events that I host, I still get a little nervous right before it's my time to shine and take stage. But one thing that I learned from being in this business, is that you have to take that step and just go for it no matter what. I did just that for the She's In Color event and you know what? It turned out great! The event came together so smoothly, everything flowed beautifully and I received so much support and recognition for my hosting talents. I really enjoyed myself and I wouldn't change anything about that evening.
