Y’all already know — I’ve been rocking the red pump for a while now! The Red Pump Project, a charitable organization led by my friends Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie and Karyn of The Fabulous Giver, does everything it can to ensure that women are empowered with knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the issues surrounding it. When I first moved to Chicago, the Red Pump Project threw me one helluva welcome party. And now, in honor of World AIDS Day, we’re having yet another fabulous event on December 2nd, from 6 to 9 p.m.
Chicago bellas and fellas, please join me for Say RED…Cocktails and Conversation. Ladies, wear your red shoes, fellas, rock your red ties. We’re going to enjoy the sushi and ambiance at Ai Sushi Restaurant & Lounge, and raise funds for local AIDS charities with fabulous gift bags and a silent auction. There’ll be $5 martinis ALL night, $4 sushi until 7 p.m. Items up for grabs include an incredible skin care package from MAC cosmetics, amazing handmade bracelets by esteemed AIDS activist Rae Lewis Thornton, beautiful jewelry by Pretty Afrika, and a registration to Blogging While Brown.
(We’re still looking for fabulous items to be raffled, so if you’d like to donate an item please e mail me at bella@afrobella.com ASAP!)
Click here to RSVP, and I sure hope to see you on December 2!
