Check out Howerton+Wooten Events in the February issue of Essence Magazine!
The article titled, “From Fear to Freedom” gives a brief synopsis of my journey from working at a corporate gig to running my own meeting and event planning company.
The article starts on page 65, but you will find me on page 66. Below is the magazine issue's cover, featuring Reggie Bush (wow)
If you get a chance to read the article, let me know what you think. Sharing so much about my own personal journey made me a little nervous. But the feedback I have received from women all over the US made me realize that so many of us need to hear stories like this.
Oh by the way, the printed photo of me in this issue was taken by Bailey Orenia-Sessoms. I don’t think I have ever given her blog credit for my professional photo, but I owe her a great deal of gratitude.
Love and Soul Always, Kay
