25 years of friendship…

Melanated Pearl travels to Key West 2019

Random thoughts about the power of friendship!


About 25 years ago my grandfather Selma Boswell transitioned and we moved to “Atlanta”…
It was there that I found the black girls who would join me on my journey into womanhood. My connection to Kiana Cosby Kee Thespian and Andrea started at Cedar Grove c/o 96. I won’t get into all the details but #messy. LOL. Hell it was high school in Decatur, GA!

Cedar Grove HS c/o 96

As expected we launched our lives and began “gathering the things” and checking the list but we always remained connected. Agnes Scott assisted me in connecting with Amber Wright Jones and Courtney, & Patrice Benton. In 2001 Erica Hood joined & in 2006 the “trips” aka meetings began!
Now…Entrepreneurs, Business Leaders, Marketing Leaders, Educational leaders…mother’s, wives, some divorced, some single, some in new relationships, some renewing relationships, and all authentic!
