Last night, I had the opportunity to go to the Tracy Reese flagship store for an event for an amazing cause. I loved being in a room full of fashion’s taste-makers. It reminds me of why I am working hard everyday. With successful women like Lola Ogunnaike (Arise 360 TV Co-Host) and her sister Nikki Ogunnaike (Glamour.com Style Editor) as the hosts I knew this event would be exciting.
The ordeal made the day to day struggles that Africans face really hit home for her and so African Health Now was born. With the help of many giving friends Nana held her first health fair in Ghana in December 2005. The health fair provided blood test screening, dental consultations, and basic health lessons that we as American take for granted. They were able to service 300+ people that day. Since its founding, African Health Now continues to touch Pan-Africans in both the United States and abroad. It is truly inspirational!
Overall it was a great night, with great people, for a great cause! Check out some pictures from the event below:

Longtime friend Leetal Benbenisti, wardrobe stylist and founder of fashion blog Naturalista Fashionista, and I.
I just loved Dani Dvash of Chic a la’ Russe in her belted floral print dress. Her sleek her pony and retro sunnies definitely completed the look. Dani is the spokesperson for the delicious Starr African Rum we were all sipping on throughout the night!
