Dear Marcia,

My friend invited me to attend my first Ebony Fashion Fair, on May 17, hosted by the local chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Have you ever felt a pull in your life? Something that you really wanted to do or accomplish and you haven’t done it yet? For example, there are those of us who like to make New Year’s Resolutions.
