While twittering, I somehow came across Divas in the City and noticed that this organization was hosting a networking [...]

Well, for my NYC ladies who are looking for something chic and charitable to add to the calendar, you might want to attend the MCF Fashion Week After Party hosted by MacDella Cooper and her foundation.
