I had a wonderful time at Fortune & Fiasco’s Afternoon Tea Party.
The room was filled with dynamic women of color ranging from private pilots to financial advisors. ‘In the room where it happens’, we took time to network, learn each others’ profession, and encourage each other through our entrepreneurial journeys, doing so using the etiquette skills shared with us from Certified Etiquette Consultant and Founder of The Elite School of Etiquette, Carol Rey.

The discussion turned out to be more than just the “etiquette of taking tea”… What Carol Rey shared with us was impactful, teaching us how to polish our self presentation, refine how we communicate, acknowledge social cues, finely dine, and network as a respectable woman.

Neiman Marcus Café delivered us with tasty refreshments beginning with, my new personal favorite, crispy popovers accompanied by homemade strawberry butter. This was followed by their intermezzo bone broth to cleanse our palate before we enjoyed petite tea sandwiches of fresh cucumber, chicken salad and smoked salmon with cream cheese. Our lunch concluded with Neiman Marcus’ signature chocolate chip cookies, Parisian inspired sweets and crisp sparkling champagne.

India and Olivia of F&F put together a memorable Afternoon Tea event.
As a lover of fine china, fine dining, and taking tea, I was certainly delighted to be among one of their guests.
