Hello world!!!
I hope you and yours are doing well. I'm doing well, thanks be to God. A couple Fridays ago, I attended Sierra Leonean Empowerment Network's Happy Hour and Professional Networking event in our nation's capital, District of Columbia. We were slenning. Are you SLENNING???

According to their website, "The Sierra Leonean Empowerment Network (SLEN)--launched in July 2013--aims to build a sustainable network of Sierra Leonean professionals through mentoring, knowledge sharing and networking among Sierra Leoneans of diverse socio-economic and professional backgrounds."

The purpose of this event was to have an evening of mixing and mingling with current and future Sierra Leonean professionals. Another wonderful thing about this event was that some individuals, including myself, that were featured in African Luxury Mag's 30 Under 30 Sierra Leoneans To Follow in 2014 were present!
