City Pics: Daphney J. Events Presents - An Inner Beauty Experience

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 23:57:00 +0000

Know yourself before sharing yourself with someone else...

This was just one of the many themes at the latest Daphney J. Event. Held at the Studio by London Eye, it was very informative, intimate and thought provoking afternoon. The amazing panelist included Life Coach Naimah Raheem, Mentor & Relationship Expert Antonee James, and Mental Health Counselor/Author- Professor Gwendolyn Hinton MS

Special Guest speaker Stephan Speaks-Certified Relationship coach & Author - had many of us ladies laughing as we took a hard look at ourselves and our actions when it came to the opposite sex.

Catered by Sunsplash Caribbean Bakery in Orange, NJ, The Stew Chicken, Mac & Cheese, Plantains, and Rice & Peas were rockin'!

Delicious rum cocktails were provided and mixed by Jersey Artisan Distilling located in Fairfield, NJ. Both the food and the drinks were a perfect compliment for the evening. We enjoyed a nice rum cider, which sounded and tasted like a great drink for the fall. Look out for more info regarding this local distillery as we certainly look forward to enjoying more drinks from them in the future.

Finally, we left feeling empowered and renewed. It was an entertaining time full of laughs and surprisingly open moments. Cheers to the next Daphney J. Event!
