This was my first trip to Essence Fest. My best friend and I decided to leave the planning in the hands of Travel Divas and honey they did not disappoint!!! When we arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel, we were greeted by TD staff members Mesha and Sparkle who made us feel like family and set the tone for what was in store. All the events were well planned and made us feel like true Divas!!! And having Big Freeda come party with us at our private welcome party was amazing! And the Old School Hip-Hop brunch!! I haven’t had this much fun in a while! Special thanks to TD staff members Lizzy, Viveca and Marcale for making this a memorable trip.
