When my eyes first glanced at the list of Yelp! Chicago events coming up, one stood out. It included the words, “Rock” & “Racism”…so as a music lover & minority I was naturally intrigued. As I read on, it became apparent to me that I had one place to be on Thursday, February 23^rd and that was The Hard Rock Hotel.

What’s up guys and dolls? It’s Wanjiku Kairu signing in from Billy’s office to tell you about a pretty awesome gallery you need to check out ASAP. As you all know, February is Black History month, and in honor of the occasion The Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College has been decorated with beautiful and eccentric art work for the Black Gossamer Exhibit collected by curator Camille Morgan. I was able to hang out and interview Camille with my iPhone to discuss the gallery, and what I found will blow your mind! The Black Gossamer displays art created mostly by African American artists and expresses their views on the African American identity in society. Every piece of art will not only entertain you, but educate you as well, it’s a win-win.

“Hey You” this Thursday Feb. 9th – Sunday Feb. 12th Hot and Heavy Burlesque’s annual tribute to Pink Floyd’s: The Wall will commence at their new venue, Stage 773. Featuring brand new acts, sets, and features, the show continues to impress year after year, and has quickly become one of Hot and Heavy’s feature presentations. This powerful visual journey of a performance will guide the audience through the amazing double album we’ve all adored for years, interpreting the film written by Roger Water’s, and incorporating elements from the bands live performances, light shows, and all things that throw Pink Floyd up on a pedestal.

Today, everyone has been affected by breast cancer in some way; for me it was my cousin Carrie Kenney. Carrie was a fun-loving, young woman who was diagnosed at the very young age of 27 and looked to Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization for support. After she lost her battle in 2004, I was determined to make a contribution to the organization that had given so much to my cousin when she needed it the most. To date, Tickled Pink has raised over $800,000 for Y-ME and hopes to reach the goal of $1 million by 2013!

In case you missed some of the pics, here are some of the most clicked on ones from my Facebook & Twitter that apparently were most appreciated (and a couple surprise extras!)!!!! As a guest of Gatorade there to "#WinFromWithin" you will see my killer training session w/ celeb trainer Gunnar Peterson (still sore), behind the scenes shots from all the pre/post parties, how I treated one lucky Twitter/Facebook follower to the Superbowl last minute, and of course fun red carpet & party shots w/new & old celeb friends like.. David Arquette, Jessica Szohr, LMFAO, LL Cool J, Hines Ward & more!

Every once in awhile you come across someone who inspires you to believe in yourself and never give up on your dreams. I met Julie through a women's group ten years ago, and ran the fundraiser for her at...
