Sisterbration's Little Red Dress Party


Did you wear red last Friday February 3? 













Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women affecting one out of every three women. This staggering statistic equates to nearly 500,000 women each year -- more than the next six causes of death combined. 

 


 I had a blast putting on my red dress and pumps and joining my beautiful International sister queens for Sisterbration’s Little Red Dress Event benefiting the Girls Have Heart program and Raising Awareness about Heart Disease, the #1 Killer of Women in the nation. The night was filled with laughs, smiles, and appreciation of a healthy heart. We danced the night away to Salsa and Merengue, laughed until our stomachs hurt in the photo booth and loved seeing the red pumps exhibit. With a hectic schedule, it is often hard to reunite with your girlfriends and enjoy the finer things in life, like a good laugh, awesome friends, and simply being healthy. This event was exceptionally amazing because it is one of the rare occasions that my sister queens, Kelli, Angelique and I all come together!




Proceeds from The Little Red Dress Party were used to fund community-wide blood pressure and cholesterol screenings, heart disease risk assessments and educational materials for women and girls. Through these activities we can help women realize it's never too early to take steps to prevent and control risk factors. Heart disease is preventable and education is the key to helping prevent this terrible disease.

 It was a night to remember as we came together for heart disease!

Love your heart <3
