Today I am hosting a fashion charity
event with my amazing, beautiful friend, Vivien.
All right.
Hello.
Hi, Vivien.
She has some amazing custom gowns.
The queen--
[LAUGH]
--in the house.
And I'm super excited to have the ladies walk in the show
and to raise money for the Tiger Lily Foundation.
It's 5:30, so the event is starting in, like, an hour.
VIVIEN: OK.
So I'm still waiting on the models.
I want everything to start on time.
I want everything to be perfect. VIVIEN: It's going to work out.
It's because this is my first event.
It's exciting.
So it has to go well.
You have to be very organized to throw an event like this.
You have to make sure that you have the decorations,
you got to make sure you have the food, the beverages,
enough seating.
You want everything to go perfectly
because you want people to donate towards your charity.
You look fabulous already.
Hi, Tammy.
How are you?
Come on in.
So y'all follow directions.
Hi.
Come on in.
I've reached out to friends and close family members who
actually battled breast cancer, and I
had three young ladies who wanted
to walk in a fashion show.
I thought this would be great for them to inspire others,
give others hope.
They're going to walk the fashion show.
They're going to feel this confidence.
This is going to be amazing.
They might be holding her.
They may be holding her.
Ooh.
Always on time. - Always.
Y'all go in there, so you can get your dress and everything.
My event is starting in 30 minutes.
I am, like, freaking out right now.
(SINGING) Let's go [INAUDIBLE]..
Hello, ladies.
Hi.
I love fashion shows.
You know, I love to walk.
You know, like, people looking at me anyway.
So yes, girl.
We having a fashion show, I am here.
I'm going to let my inner Tyra out, OK?
Hello, beautiful.
OK, we got to get you dressed and all that good stuff.
(SINGING) But this is Chocolate City, mama.
You think I need you?
Dime a dozen.
It's 6:15.
We got 15 minutes before showtime.
Hi.

This is my first event that I put on by myself.
I've done events in the past with other people,
but this is the first event that I've actually put on by myself.
Anything that you purchase, a certain percentage
will go towards the Tiger Lily Foundation.
So I need everybody to go shopping.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Hello, everyone.
Yay.
I want to thank you all for coming out today.
This is actually my very first fashion charity event.
And it's for breast cancer awareness.

and I'm sure you would enjoy the fashion
show we prepared for you guys.

MONIQUE SAMUELS: (SINGING) I was born ready, but I'm never done.
Try on ten looks just to find the right one.
Melanin pop bright like the sun.
Sun kissed, and you wish to compare, hun.
Be careful what you wish.
Don't you dare, hun.
Tried to warn you, see the message wasn't clear, hun.
I am a woman of my word 'cause I'm fair, hun.
Give you what you ask for 'cause I care, hun.
