What is your sign? Gemini/Cancer – on the cusp. 

Where are you living now? Hometown? I reside in Bowie, Maryland. I was born in Washington, DC but, raised in Silver Spring and Lanham, MD respectively.

What is your favorite charity? I have a toss up between 4 favorite charities.  My mother had a 5 year battle with breast cancer and she beat it.  Unfortunately she died several years after her cancer battle of heart failure.  Therefore, I support the Cancer Society and Heart Association in memory of my mother.  I battled asthma until I was in my early 20’s when I finally outgrew it.  Therefore, I also support the Lung Association.  Finally, two very good friends of mine were killed by their husbands over domestic disputes.  I am a strong advocate of any organization that brings awareness and helps Domestic Violence victims.

Who is your favorite designer? Vera Wang.  

What is your signature scent? Kenneth Cole – White (for women)

What is your profession? Business Owner of an Event Planning Company properly named Royal Events, LLC.

Why did you choose this profession? This profession chose me, I didn’t really choose it.  About 10 years ago I was always asked to plan company parties and meetings and I realized that I had a knack for it and the rest is history.

Who or What inspires you?  Other business owners who have a dream and who have determination inspire me.  I am also inspired by all the unsung heroes and sheroes who are making a difference in our community. On the celebrity-side, Oprah Winfrey inspires me daily.  She is the epitome of a strong business woman and I admire her very much.  I have aspirations of being on her show one day in the near future. 

What makes you a Savvy Socialite? I think my tenacity and strength of character make me a savvy socialite.  I also think having a sense of fabulous style makes you a savvy socialite!

What advice do you have for other Savvy Socialites?  Keep God first, pray without ceasing, never give up on your dream, watch what you say for words have power, treat everyone with kindness and respect, keep striving for your goals, never give up even when the odds are stacked against you, always dress your best when you leave the house for you never know who you will run into, stay optimistic and positive and always, always, have faith in YOU!
