Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending the Maker’s Belle Brunch which honored Essence relationship expert Demetria Lucas of the popular blog A Belle in Brooklyn. The invite only ladies networking event brought together some of NYC’s fabulous movers and shakers. I was so honored to be an invitee and to be in a room surrounded by so many accomplished and talented women. The group ranged from entrepreneurs to publicists and even a Princess. The brunch was held at Piquant in Brooklyn and the food was wonderful. We were able to enjoy a performance by spoken word artist Jeff Dess during the brunch. And Demetria unveiled the cover of her upcoming book, “A Belle in Brooklyn: The Go-to-Girl for Advice on Living the Single Life” and read an excerpt. The chapter she read was cute and funny.


We were surprised with a wonderful spoken word performance from Jeff Dess.

Demetria read a chapter from her new book. The chapter she read was about a funny adventure with Sug Knight. Yes, the Sug Knight. And that’s all I’m going to say. Buy the book, if you want to know more!


This is myself and authoress (in my Maya Wilks voice) Demetria Lucas.
