For YEARS I’ve dreamed of going to nerd prom (B.K.A. “The White House Correspondents’ Dinner). \u00a0This year, I at least got to go to MSNBC’s amazing nerd prom after party at the Italian Embassy as a correspondent for EBONY.com! \u00a0And all the nerds and celebrities alike were in full force. \u00a0Here’s a bit of my recap on EBONY.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

EBONY caught up with\u00a0Dave Chappelle,<\/strong>\u00a0MSNBC hosts\u00a0Tamron Hall\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Al Sharpton,<\/strong>\u00a0Michael Eric Dyson,<\/strong>\u00a0Dancing with the Stars<\/em>winner\u00a0J.R. Martinez<\/strong>, and White House Adviser\u00a0Valerie Jarrett\u00a0<\/strong>at MSNBC\u2019s White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner After Party \u2013 all of whom agreed that the highlight of the evening was President Obama\u2019s speech.\u00a0 Even former Republican National Committee Chairman\u00a0Michael Steele\u00a0<\/strong>confessed to EBONY that, though \u201cJimmy [Kimmel\u2019s speech] was great, the President was just in his groove!\u201d<\/p>\n

Read the rest of my recap here<\/a>. It’s hard to believe that only a week ago I was dancing the night away with Michael Eric Dyson, Tamron Hall, David Gregory and Michael Steele and escaping the ridiculous heat in the cigar tent with Dave Chappelle. \u00a0This was definitely a life highlight. God is so good and He answers random prayers when you LEAST expect it! Never give up hope on the dreams God has placed in your heart! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
