Busy moms take a break
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fayette County author and consultant Nea Anna Simone hosted a coffee klatch Wednesday to kick off a 10-city “Whistle Stop Tour” by Momseasychair.com, an online magazine and community for moms.
The group included Sal Kibler of Ansley Park, publisher of www.momseasychair.com; and MaryJayne Lambert Carter, whose “Sweet M’s Candy World” signature milk chocolate bars lent a sweet touch to the gathering.
Also attending: Vanecia Wills-Leufroy, spiritual coach and host of “A Woman’s Spirit,” on Radio Sandy Springs; Clayton County criminal defense attorney Bernadette Clark Wright; Valerie Williams, founder of the non-profit women’s transitional shelter program “Up On Your Luck;” and India Adams Patterson, a stay-at-home mom of an 11-year-old son and a 7-year-old daughter.
The tour tolls on to Greenville, S.C. and Charlotte, N.C., where Simone, mother of three daughters, will be one of the keynote speakers at a town hall meeting.
An inspiring event
Television journalist Tiffany Cochran Edwards hosts an upcoming fund-raiser to benefit the documentary “Daughters of Men,” based on the book “Daughters of Men: Portraits of African-American Men and Their Daughters.” It is a compilation of photographs and essays about African-American women and their fathers.
The event, featuring a cocktail buffet and performance by R&B trio Brownstone, also benefits the Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. Brain Tumor Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The famed barrister died in 2005 at 67 of a brain tumor.
The event is planned for 8 p.m. Sept. 22 in the atrium lobby of the SunTrust Plaza garden offices, 303 Peachtree Center Ave. Tickets are $175. Call 404-827-3598 or email vicki.hamilton@turner.com.
