In honor of the release of Whitney Houston’s final film,Sparkle, Sherry White gathered some close girlfriends and asked that they do just one thing: celebrate their inner sparkle.Pictured (from left): Lauren McCoy, Velvet A. Ross, Erin J. Warner, Jennifer Akabue, Yemi O., Sherry C. White, Morgan Thompson, and Danielle Baynes-Boateng)
White’s guests received inspired gift bags (that sparkled, of course!) filled with a few tools to help them celebrate their next big moments in life: A jeweled frame to hold a photo of the them in the moment they next achieve a dream, inspirational scrapbook quote stickers, a journal and more.
When it came time to assess their individual dreams, the group really dug deep, assessing how their individual backgrounds, culture and families influence their dreams. White tells us that there was really an overlying theme of “God-directed” dreams and how they can allow them each to “sparkle” in their own way.
“There was such compassion, truth and spiritual undertone in our discussion,” says White. “I love when people from all walks of life gather and grow. They had to force themselves to leave our home.” To keep up with White and friends’ monthly sisterhood outings visit North Star Group for Women.
