Essence had many of us up and at em’ more than New York Fashion Week! I was invited to a “Very Special” brunch hosted by Hennessy at the International House Hotel in New Orleans. Guests mingled and chatted while cocktails by Hennessy were poured. D.J. Nice kept the crowd moving on the 1′s and 2′s. Eric Benet, Marsha Ambrosious, Bridget Kelly, Alex Boyd and Letoya Luckett kicked it in between interviews with press.
