 On this soulful journey with her dear friends, Mrs. Connie and Tina, Alisha explains the beauty when you CREATE A PASSION PROJECT WITH TRUE FRIENDS and the connection through healthy relationships, sisterhood and shared experiences. This trio experienced a breath-taking CANDLELIGHT CONCERT at the beautiful Short North Church in Columbus. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE!
