Last night an incredible group of women celebrated International Women’s Day with me at an intimate dinner held at the new Ricardo’s Ocean Grill in Harlem, New York City.

International Women’s Day was started over 100 years ago and this year’s theme was “Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures.” Every woman in attendance inspires me in countless ways and I’m truly grateful for their love and support!
