1st African-American Leadership Summit Review
by Donna M. Baxter
The African-American Leadership Association’s 1st African-American leadership summit was such a beautiful event! Held on June 4, 2009 in the IBEW/Circuit Center on the Southside, the ballroom quickly filled up with folks and by 9am tables were full and we were ready with anticipation to learn from great leaders in our community. Rev. Dr. William H. Curtis from Mt. Ararat Baptist Church gave an inspirational morning keynote geared for those wanting to become leaders or already in leadership roles. He covered five important points about leadership. He last point was “remember as you rise, to scratch out time to enjoy your life”, and Esther Bush, President and CEO of the Urban League of Pittsburgh, added during the Q&A to also remember to “take care of your health”. Even though it’s something we all know, it something a lot of us forget to practice! Although I had to leave to teach a workshop at Duquense, I was glad I got to be a sponsor and also experience some of the summit and will definitely be there next year! Click here to take a peek at the photos taken during the morning session….I think I’ll go out and enjoy the rest of this beautiful day!
 August Wilson Center Preview Review By Donna "Soul Sis" Baxter
Did you attend the preview of the August Wilson Center? If you didn't, you really missed out. It was a HUGE Success…thousands of people came out to support it! Not only was the turnout great, the weather was perfect, the food was good, the people were happy, the vendors had great things for sale and display and the staff and volunteers were organized and on point. It was like a great big reunion. I saw people I hadn’t seen in years. The most important thing that people were saying to me was that this is for us and they were so proud of it. I am so glad that I got to attend the event as a volunteer. It really gave me the opportunity to interact with so many people and feel their excitement and anticipation for the August Wilson Center to open. Click here to continue, see pics and comment!
The shopping party at Accezzorize on May 16, 2009 was HOT! Owner Alexis Alexander has the store hooked up really nice. Ladies enjoyed shopping, manicures, airbrush tattoos, food, drinks, fantasy makeup applications and an overall great networking opportunity as well. Soul Sis will definitely be back to get some more jewelry because it is very unique. She only buys a few of each piece. Kudos to Alexis for a great presentation!
Don't take my word for it...Check out the pics!
Soul Pitt's Meet the Authors event was a big success! We had a great turnout and have already started working on a new lineup of authors to do it again before the year is out. We had authors from Pittsburgh, Florida, and DC. The food by Lissi's Catering was off the chain and also the food made by Juelle Hall. If you weren't there, you missed one of Pittsburgh's most unique events. If interested to be on the Authors list for next time please email Bonita at writers@thesoulpitt.com --- Now click here for the pics!
