DJ Traci Steele, of Hot 107.9FM, hosted her 2nd annual Pretty Girls Rock: Art, Music, and Fashion event last night. Over 500 people attended the event, held at Justin’s restaurant in Atlanta, to support Traci and help benefit The Love Offering Foundation.

 

 

This year, Traci Steele was accompanied by several notable women in Atlanta:  Ebony Steele (of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show), Rashan Ali (former radio personality and correspondent on NBA TV), and Nina Brown (radio producer).  The women collaboratively shined the spotlight on other women who are making their marks in the field of art, music, and fashion.  Athletes, fashion designers, artists, music industry artists, and others all were in attendance to show support.

The evening was not only filled with fellowship and plenty of networking. But, there were also performances by D. Woods (formerly of Danity Kane) and Latocha Scott (of Xscape), Mika Means.  Although, I wasn’t able to stay for the performances, I hear that each of the ladies are currently working on independant projects. So I will definitely be checking for the new music in the future.  In addition to the music, art was represented by abstract paintings. Also, several fashion designers were there showcasing their newest creations.

 

Honestly, my main focus was to finally catch up with DJ Traci Steele.  Luckily, I was able to sift through the crowd and catch up with her to find out the purpose behind the Pretty Girls Rock event.

This is the 2nd annual Pretty Girls Rock: Art, Music, and Fashion. It’s all about women, women, women. Women fashion designers, female DJs, female artists, female everything. I want women to come out and support each other and what we do in this art. If you have a talent, you come out and support each other. Women need to uplift each other and stop bringing each other down. And that’s why I did this.

 

Not being an avid radio listener, I also asked Traci when can people catch her on the air.

On the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, Hot 107.9FM. Log on to www.tracisteele.com to find out where I am.

 

If you weren’t there last night, you missed out on a great event.  For women to celebrate other women is spectacular. Hopefully, more events such as this will occur in the future.
