A good friend is such a treasure. Especially in the digital days we live in where it’s easy to forget that love is more important than “likes”. For me, having a good friend who is also an entrepreneur – someone you can clap for and who you know will clap for you – is even more valued. That’s why I am over-the-moon excited for my friend, Africa Miranda.

Africa is a go-getter who, like me, does a lot. She is an actress, singer and worked for several beauty brands before starting her own – Beauty By Africa Miranda. Now she can add author to her growing list of titles. Her book Step Up, Step Out, And Shine is a transformational guide to helping people recognize their own power and create the lives they want. Naturally, when Africa launched her book tour I was more than willing to participate as one of the hosts of her Houston event. It was a great night, particularly because the honest insight Africa shares in her book really resonated with the event attendees.

See for yourself! Here’s a quick video recap of the night:

And here are some of my favorite photos:
