Dining Out for Life is one of my favorite occasions because it gives me a reason to try new restaurants (or visit old standbys) and support HIV education and fundraising. Each year for the past couple of years, a group of friends has always planned a dinner at one of the supporting restaurants in town and tonight’s no different. My (play) brother is celebrating his birthday so we’re all getting together at one of my [...]

Yesterday, Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin stopped by GMA to discuss their role as the newest spokespeople for the M.A.C. Viva Glam campaign. While I am currently off the Nicki train due to her performance at the Grammy’s*, I’m enjoyed watching this video of her and Ricky where they give some background into the campaign and photoshoot. I stopped by my local M.A.C. store yesterday and one of the artists showed me the pink shade [...]
My baby, The Red Pump Project, is a finalist for Best Cause Campaign in the Inaugural Black Celebrity Giving Awards. While we’re technically a nonprofit, our call to encourage women to rock red pumps to represent the strength and courage of women affected by HIV/AIDS ramps up every year around National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (March 10th). I don’t know who nominated us but I love what they submitted: I would like to [...]
If you’re still on the prowl for a stocking stuffer, why not give someone the gift of glam? The M.A.C.

I know that this is the month where I became a blessing to my parents and to the world as [...]
Earlier this week, JustJared.com shared pictures of Kate Hudson on a stroll with her new bundle of joy. Kate looks fresh-faced and beautiful as always, but what caught my eye was her stroller. Thanks to a tweet from @joinred, I learned that it is a Bugaboo Missoni stroller and it benefits (RED), the global campaign that’s raising awareness and funds for the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. A girlfriend of mine SWEARS [...]
While in Atlanta for the National HIV Prevention Conference, I had the chance to finally meet the b Condoms team in person. Before meeting these guys, I was already so impressed with their story and all the moves that they were making. In case, you have no idea what these guys are up to…Here’s the scoop. b Condoms launched on World AIDS Day 2010 and has really committed themselves to challenging the way we think about [...]
Hey, everyone! I’m blogging from the National HIV Prevention Conference in Hotlanta. I arrived on Sunday afternoon and have been on a nonstop quest to gain knowledge and make connections. It’s been great to meet folks that I only previously knew from Twitter, reconnect with individuals that I’ve met at past conferences, and introduce myself (and Red Pump) to a whole new set of people. There are over 3,000 people attending this conference and each [...]
