You may have read about my friend Siobhan's nonprofit organization, OneMama. In addition to being a source of hope for Ugandan women and a source of inspiration for the rest of us, Siobhan throws a hell of a party. I highly encourage you to attend her July 11th OneMama Fundraiser & Fashion Show and find out for yourself.
