Event Recap & Note from the Founder: "FAB Dipped in GOLD"

EVENT RECAP - "FAB Dipped in GOLD" - LaPomme - August 17, 2010

From the Founder

The FAB Network celebrated its' ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY in style at the very sexy LaPomme in NYC with fashion, arts & beauty professionals in full effect. I was completely "Dipped in GOLD" thanks to the FABulous designer JOVANI. I am so humbled and ecstatic to share in this huge milestone in my personal and professional life with you. College students, industry professionals, FAB Ambassadors, panelists, keynote speaker and those individuals new to The FAB Network came out to show their support and for me, it was truly a blessing. As I've said before, I believe that FAB is a movement in young people's lives to take their dreams by the reigns and to plow forward regardless of any obstacles you may face. I believe it's our duty to reach our destiny and to create our future . . . what better way to reach our fullest potential than to be apart of a network that supports your goals! This focus alone, is the exact reason why I founded The FAB Network. The "FAB Dipped in Gold" event served as a playground for those individuals that are hungry for knowledge, resources & inspiration. I am happy to say that I believe the FAB mission was accomplished. I heard amazing feedback from the attendees and participants. Hearing those positive words make my efforts worthwhile. This past year has been filled with triumphs, struggles, life and business lessons. Through it all, my key take away is that no matter what, faith and perseverance will see you through! As the next chapter of FAB unfolds, it is my hope that you will continue this journey with me as a I strive to continue providing life-changing opportunities for YOU! Our road to greatness is an intertwined effort and together, we can achieve our FABulous dreams!
