Visionary

We've written about the importance of giving back to our immediate and extended communities many times before. This lady, Rosanne Haggerty through her non-profit Common Ground restored this 20th century building, the Prince George which was built as a luxury hotel in 1904. It suffered from many years of decline before Common Ground rescued it and turned it into permanent affordable housing for the homeless. The grand Beaux-Arts ballroom was restored and is now part of the Madison Square North Historic District and the National Register of Historic Places.

Art: Kosibah


A Kosibah design can take six months to create.{...} According to the designer, a good finishing is essential to the perfect dress. He believes that a dress's seams should almost feel and look invisible. "Normally, if you turn your dress inside out, you shouldn't really see any seam and any seam you see has to be perfectly finished," he says.

A man after my own heart! Thanks to my teacher Mrs. Gbugu for instilling in me the importance of good finishing.
