Brave Chick Holiday/Resort Line Launch & Charity Celebration

Aliyana Franklin Fashion line Brave Chick's mission is to empower, uplift and nurture the strength and creativity of women by gifting a portion of proceeds for every product sold to Not For Sale, a non-profit that fights to end modern-day slavery. More than just a clothing brand, Brave Chick produces top quality products intended to "encourage [women] to express their true essence and ultimately make a contribution to a charitable cause," explains co-founder Janet Williams.

The fun continued with live painting, silent auctions featuring art, jewelry and one-of-a-kind pieces, go go dancers, and dazzling Samba dancers who wowed the crowd with the their vibrant feathered headpieces and stunning dance moves.
