Golf for Good:  Kismet of Influencers, #SportsFashion and Ethical Tech

Jacqui from T & T Creative Group and I getting ready to tour the Lonnie Poole golf course!

Recently I had the privilege of attending the exclusive T&T Golf Invitational at Lonnie Poole Golf Course at NC State University - my alma mater.  I will definitely be making this an annual thing!  The invite-only event is hosted by T & T Creative Group.  I suggest visiting ttcreativegroup.com to get a good feel of the ethos behind this company/community and to see some of their incredible work in tech and multimedia.  And FYI for all of you golf buffs out there, Lonnie Poole Golf Course was designed by the legend himself, Mr. Arnold Palmer.  This was surprisingly my first time visiting the course, and I can see how people spend countless tee times relaxing out there while taking in the scenery and improving their golf game. 

So, how did I connect with all of these fine folks?  You can call it kismet, however I have to give a shoutout to Gabi’s Grounds for making this connection for me (find them at gabisgrounds.com).  When I first started my #SportsFashion brand (which has been featured on MSG Networks, Sirius XM Radio and our local ESPN affiliate in Raleigh, 99.9 THE FAN) the tagline for my marque was “WHERE FASHION, SPORTS AND ETHOS INTERSECT WITH BEAUTY AND LUXURY.”  Let me explain . . .  

I was blessed to grow up in the world of Sports and after years of experience working in the Fashion industry, I currently found myself hungry for more of the “ethos” side of things.  I was lucky enough to be able to satiate this need by meeting my new BFF, Gabi.  Gabi is a Raleigh celebrity that I had so much fun getting to know and giggling with at the event!  Both of our favorite colors are pink, and she is way better at golf than I am (although she says that the most fun part of these events are seeing all of the cute boys).

Gabi has been featured literally EVERYWHERE from the local Raleigh News and Observer to the national Kelly Clarkson show.  The mission of the company is to “EMPOWER the SPECIAL ABILITIES COMMUNITY to find their place in the world and ENJOY FULFILMENT in everything they do.”  And the private-label coffee blends by Gabi’s Ground are better than Starbucks, believe me.  The Perfect Holiday Gift!
