FIERCE! - The Reception

Friday night was the reception for my month long show at Affirmations! We had a fantastic turn out and it was quite gratifying to see so many people come to see the work I had produced over the last 25 years! It actually took on a bit of a reunion feel for many people who attended. it was a great highlight for me to find out that many of the youth who come to Affirmations had found an engagement with the photographs! That to me was the highest compliment!

Much thanks to Curator Charles Alexander, Program Director Kim Phillips-Knope, YEP Staffer Liz Griggs and Cafe Manager Julie Marcos (who catered the event) Most importantly though I want to say a huge thanks to the Social Activities Coordinator Lea Brown who was there for me at every step! Wow you could not have made it a better experience for me! XXXOOO!

Congratulations. Looks like a successful event! It's interesting to see people posing in front of their portraits from the past.
