27th Consecutive Saturday Night Love, July 26th

Saturday Night Love at Ritz Caribbean Restaurant at 606 Yonge Street, Just north of Wellesley subway station.
This week we featured powerful spoken word artist Yaseemi, whose mission is to rock the boat and do it with style. Our talk show topic was, "How can we have the confidence to become entrepreneurs, ignore media that depicts extraordinarily slim body sizes as normal, and never compromise a beautiful future for a pretty but perishable present, even if we had a poor past?" Our teaching segment was, “Getting It Off Your Chest: Deconstructing today's female body stereotypes,” by successful young entrepreneur, Shana Tillbrook, owner of two stores named Tryst Lingerie. Our open mic theme was, “They say beauty is only skin deep, but is it really tooth-pick thin (as many magazines seem to be showing they believe)?”
