On Friday, I had the honor of representing Orisha for the ringing of the closing bell at Nasdaq. It was fun but a challenge to secure the perfect spot for the live shot a group photo:-) But more importantly, this event highlighted the community organizations that will be participating in Summer Streets. It was fun but also a great networking opportunity for Orisha.

Sorry for the delayed post. Thank you to everyone for coming out and dancing with me at Summer Streets! Congrats to Janine, Antonia, Margie, and Nikki for winning a prize for beginning the first four Orisha people. They received fitness and wellness items for getting there early. Next week, the first, five people will win a prize.

I hope to see you at 9am for Zumba at the stage on 112th and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd.
