LABOR DAY WEEKEND

My Summer blog is currently turning into a weekly blog maybe, maybe not.  Well I spent my Labor Day weekend in NYC (Friday- Monday), and it was FUNNNNNNNNN. I got to handle Business and meet some great team members of the Rise Africa Family. for thoese that don't  know Rise Africa is a social entrepreneurship Powered by young adults for young adults. www.africaisdonesuffering.com is a central online location where individuals can gather to discuss African current events, educate one another, and encourage progressive thinking and action. Our main goal is to use communication as a tool to bring together young Africans scattered throughout the nations.

I also had time to Party with my Pageant Sister Isha. I kid you not!!! never a dull moment with that girl. I met Isha when I did the Miss Africa USA pageant back in 2011 and from the first day we met! we just clicked. I love traveling with Isha I swear we are almost the same person, I have traveled to a couple of places with Isha in the past, we  went to Atlanta and Nashville together and Yes!!!! both epic trips. Sometimes I even think she is Nigerian but shes not, she is actually from Sierra Leone my Salone titi I call her lol. SO of course when I told Isha hey Lets go to NYC she was down. Of course I brought my Canon Digital Camera for no reason cause I didn't pull it out once *sigh* I  made use of  my iphone5 instead. 

                                                                

We Stayed at the Paramount Hotel Times Square in Manhattan.

Very nice and sultry . Didn't expect our room to be as small after paying so much, but I guess what we paid for was for the view and ambiance.  

Got there Friday morning. Rested and started our day with Drinks at Haven Rooftop.
