Goddess Awareness Group

That would be ... G.A.G.

[PAR35]

If she agreed to it

That is the big question. I wouldn't be willing to take the organizer's word on that.

"...and guest speaker Omarosa from "The Apprentice."

Now there's a winner...barf!

Despite the fact that they were anticipating 12,000 attendees, apparently some 8,000 DID show up. So why did less than a hundred of those actually pay for their tickets? (And dont' get me started on $70,000 worth of food that was THROWN IN THE TRASH. What, there are no hungry people or nearby schools that would have loved to have a surprise banquet?)

Be aware, this was NOT the NAACP. This was someone throwing a party at the same time the NAACP would be in town, hoping to entice some of the convention goers to attend.

She said she started the Goddess Awareness Group...

GAG? She founded GAG?

LOL

"This was supposed to be a very positive event," she said. "People didn't support it. Is that my fault? No. It really isn't. I put myself on the line. It's not like I stole this money."

The intellectual and ethical power on display here is stunning.
