regardless if you are #teamoprah or not, you have to admit this woman is a phenom in her own right.  i took wednesday to travel to atlanta to support of my blog friends that have turned to real life sisters of mine.
let me start with my big sister and mentor, shameeka ayersthe broke socialiteafter a few exchanges back and forth on twitter and facebook, we agreed that an oprah finale party was appropriate.
i finally caught up with her and made my way down to the four seasons atlanta, to watch the finale with an intimate group of southern belles and gentleman.
shameeka is a true support of mr. goodwill hunting and rashon carraway. she saw in me what i didnt see in myself. i call her my big sister...but most importantly...she is a friend.

this is just a tiny snippet of the event. so for more information on the broke socialite please follow her on twitter @brokesocialite.

If you would like assistance creating a loving space in your home, please email at rashon@rashoncarraway.com

What a wonderful photo of you all! I attended Lavish this past December and got to experience the fabulous Mrs. Ayers in person. What an inspiring woman!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, Rashon.

So that WAS you! I thought the dashing man in stripes was Mr. GW but was too shy to ask. :)

Thank you for supporting Room Service--Erika and Dayka knocked it out of the park!

It looked like a great party! It's nice to think you made good friends thanks to Oprah. And I have a feeling that Oprah will have the power to get people together for a good long time yet!

That looks like so much fun! I love the Broke Socialite and it's so cool that she has become a close friend--isn't the blog world great?

p.s. I saw you on Nate and loved what you did with that girl's room!
