Luxury tea brand, Tea By Tiffany hosts evening tea soiree in honor of Flo Anthony
On August 29 at 7 p.m., Tea By Tiffany will host a tea party honoring legendary entertainment journalist and publicist Flo Anthony. The event will take place at a private location in Sag Harbor.

Flo Anthony is one of the few African American women who have withstood the changing paradigm of celebrity journalism for over 20 years.
The “tea,” will also be held in celebration of the late Michael Jackson’s 54th birthday- a good friend of Flo Anthony’s. Ms. Anthony has been a long time friend, confidant and Jackson family correspondent.
The event will bring together the best of Flo Anthony’s friends, supporters and those that love MJ.
The evening will be presented with a traditional five course tea, tea cocktails and a champagne toast. The event will conclude with a DJ celebratory mix of Michael Jackson hits, with today and yesteryear’s classics presented by New York award winning DJ- Mr. Phantastik.
The event not only gathers tea lovers and evokes great conversation;
“I find that the guest of honor is thrilled to be honored for the work and tireless dedication they’ve exhibited in a specific field. The experience had by the attendee is one of true support and admiration for someone who has truly made a powerful impact on our culture. These two aspects alone make this event very unique and very special,” says hostess Tiffanydenise.
In keeping with the giving the spirit of Michael Jackson, Tiffany's Tea Party will donate a portion of the private ticket sales to a local Sag Harbor resident currently battling cancer through Giveforward.com.
Vocalist Walter Christopher will provide soulful sounds of original music and Michael Jackson covers.
For this special event Tea By Tiffany has teamed up with local South Hampton event planning company, Intimate Wishes.

Today marked our third meetup in the City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection. We chose Landmark Americana located in University City (34th & Market) as our spot of choice. As always brunch was filled with inspiring stories and thought provoking conversations on women billionaries, the real deal with incorporating your business, and how we could all help Oprah with her network (you had to be there..smile!)
Our Business Girl Topic of the Day was "Knowing and Loving Your Business: Being Prepared for the Next Level". The lack of preparedness of women entrepreneurs was the main focus. Here is a peek at our tipsheet for those unable to join us:
1. Always Be Prepared
Be prepared to improvise. Have a plan B and C lined up and always do your best. Don’t give up without trying.
2. Become the strategist your business needs
Sometimes we can’t always afford to outsource. Spend time researching and learning new technology and techniques that will help your business and your knowledge base grow.
3. Know when its time to ask for help
We can’t do everything ourselves. Know when its time to seek interns to handle the major little things. If you are in need of a professional, ask someone you know experienced in an area you need assistance in and barter your services in exchange for their help. Collaborations are a brilliant way to help someone else while helping yourself.
4. Know Your Numbers
If you’re seeking out investors, know the value of your business. If you offer products or services, never sell yourself short. Love your business enough to know it NEEDS money in order for it thrive. Place the oxygen mask over your face first.
5. Know when its time for a break
Always take some time out to relax, relate, release, and refresh. Whether it’s a weekend, a day, or 30 minutes. Take some time out to recharge your creative juices.
We would like to thank everyone for coming out!

RSVP for the Dinner Meetup by emailing 100BusinessGirls@gmail.com - Subject: Death of the Diva
We kicked off our first meetup of 2012 on what had to be the coldest day of the season thus far. But that didn't stop the wonderful ladies that came out to meet and eat at Supper located at 926 South Street in Center City Philadelphia. This was our most diverse and experienced group that we've had thus far from Dianna Montague, the first woman to be certified as an Ironworker in the City of Philadelphia to Thomasene Gee, owner of Tommie's Passion Parties. That was just the tip of the iceberg.
Our Business Girl topic of the day "Definition of a Business Woman" brought many points of view as we discussed how we are definining our business and the challenges faced as being a women in male-dominated industries.
Here are just a few quick tips:
1. Think Strategically - Look at something from more than one point of view
2. Personal Branding - Don't be afraid to reinvent yourself. Have more than one stream of income.
3. Initiate - Act without being told.
4. Communicate - Say what you mean and mean what you say. The clearest most productive and effective way to communicate is honestly and openly.
5. Share your knowledge & learn from others
