The ultra-glamorous Dorothy Dandridge! She was a movie star during the golden age of Hollywood and was even nominated for an Oscar the same year as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Judy Garland. But because she was a Black woman during the time of segregation she wasn’t memorialized in the same way. I’d love to chat with her about how she found the strength to break barriers despite the challenges she could never escape.

We all receive more holiday cards than any fridge can possibly handle. Display them by attaching them to thick ribbon and then to live garland.

Every year the James Island County Park hosts the Festival of Lights that features hundreds of festive, gigantic light installations. I’ve been attending for as long as I can remember and cannot wait to share that experience with my son!
Every brand featured on Colleen is woman-owned, meaning that your dollars go into the female economy and allow business owners to reinvest in their craft and grow their company.
