The Journey of a Girl: June 2012

Happy Birthday to you….

Another year older! Thank God for blessing me with another year with my husband. We celebrated Roswell’s birthday this past Sunday. It was a last minute gathering however Exquisite Events did a wonderful job with the instant party! We did a Seaside theme with leis, passion fruit candles, and Low Country Boil. Thanks to all of you who came out to celebrate with us. Let’s do it again next year!

I’ve got my PEARLS

In 1908, a young Ethel Hedgeman had a vision. It is because of her prophesy, persistence, and perseverance that the first African American female Greek letter organization, Alpha Kappa Alpha, was founded on January 15, 1908. Women of scholarship, sisterhood, and service, that is who the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated are. It has been my dream for quite some time now to join and properly represent this great organization. On June 10, 2012, I got my pearls!

I would like to thank all the beautiful women of Alpha Kappa Alpha and of the Iota Psi Omega chapter that taught, welcomed, and embraced me. Thank you to the 13 lovely ladies of my line, The PEARLfect Komeback. Thank you to my husband, friends, and family for all their support and congratulatory words. I will do my best to enrich Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated in all her endeavors.

Skee—Wee,

Tionya Lawrence
