auction sponsored by internationally renowned artist Synthia SAINT JAMES.
Synthia
Saint James is the
International Fine Artist who created the 1st Kwanaa
Postal Stamp for the United States Postal Service.
She
donated a very special piece of her art collection,
called "Empowerment", for the SIB 2nd Annnual Empowerment Event, and
has become a
SIB Lifetime Member.
Empowerment was the keyword used in a search engine by
SIB owner Tekelia Kelly that ironically sparked Synthia Saint James'
and Tekelia Kelly's paths to cross.

Saint James and to see her art.
The luncheon was truly
"EMPOWERING" as Dr. Carolyn Bibbs gave
