Etiquette has always been my passion. Emily Post and Amy Vanderbilt are my heroes. You are probably asking, ‘Who?’….lol These ladies literally wrote the book about what to wear, how to act, what to say, what gift to buy, how to eat, handshakes versus kisses, and the list goes on and on. FYI, the books are huge, and I have already read them for you. You’re welcome! I am a professional in my field, however, etiquette has always been very important to me. I received my first lessons in etiquette at 10 years old. After that, I continued to read, study and keep up to date with the changes in the rules of etiquette. I love it!!

Yes, I am the one eating my BBQ ribs with a knife and fork. I also have more little black dresses than an Italian widow. My 'handwritten note' game needs improvement though.

There are a lot of truly refined, dignified, elegant, poised and accomplished Ladies of color. I believe they must be brought to the forefront and celebrated. Popular culture gives attention to real “housewives” and Instagram “models”. I want to have a conversation about real class and sophistication. I am here for you, even if you have never heard of etiquette. I am here for you to improve existing skills, or for when you need to prepare for an important occasion or meeting.
