Re-posting as a reminder not to forget to donate to Metro Kids! I'm sponsoring the beautiful and intelligent teen leader, Anathi! Tamron and Johnny are sponsoring several children as well. I hope you'll join us!
On our latest excursion I took more than a couple hundred pictures to try to convey the magnitude of what we were experiencing first hand. Poverty on this scale is like an ocean- it's vast, it's wide, it's deep. It isn't, however, hopeless. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me explain.
Hubby and I have this tradition where we select our next international destination prior to leaving the current one so that our departure back home is a little less bitter-sweet. So back in Spain, probably over cocktails with Captain Alvaro, we decided South Africa was next.
Since we touched down last week, we've been anticipating the arrival of our friends, celebrity stylist and Artistic Style Director for L'Oreal, Johnny Wright and correspondent for NBC News and NBC's Today Show, Tamron Hall #Flawless. Also, so Tamron is officially the first African American woman to co-anchor the NBC Nightly News! #ThatHappened #SoCrown #BowDown
But I digress.
You may recall the fabulousness that is Johnny Wright from the EPIC NYC Turn-Up session with Tracee Ellis Ross. Johnny has been to South Africa 4 times this year alone so of course I texted him to find out (1) who we know locally for the TurnUp and (2) what to eat/see/do/don't. He inquired about the dates and the next thing I know, it's a party. #VacationWithFriends
