Being a panelist at The Little Black Dress Event was such an honor and an absolute joy. The event was a movement of empowerment, elegance, and authenticity. I met amazing women and left feeling inspired Safiya H. Springer, Owner of Opulent Escape Travel LLC.

The Game Strong for Life Sneaker Gala for Resilience and Renewal fundraiser was powerful, joyful, and full of love. The event beautifully combined fun and fashion with a heartfelt mission raising awareness, honoring survivors, and supporting those still fighting breast cancer. The spirit of hope and community in the room was something I will never forget! Safiya H. Springer, Owner of Opulent Escape Travel, LLC.
