One was a viral blogger who writes about suicide. Another started non-profits to help women entrepreneurs in Uganda, and one is a videographer/photographer who works for conservation practices around the world.
Event photography for a new event
Nu Skin supplied the location and even had on had a churro stand, videographers, and some time to network and socialize. It was a pretty cool event. If you missed it, they plan on this being a regular monthly event. The next event is August 28th.
Nu Skin played the location’s host
San Diablo was the churro vendor and the deep fried churros were particularly yummy. I enjoyed a Nutella and habañero flavored churro. It was tasty without the burn. Or I am desensitized to spicy food, do don’t trust me on the heat index.
They had San Diablo Churros on hand
