This Sunday, I hosted a screening of the House of Gucci Movie in Harlem. The film has a strong list of leading characters (Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Salma Hayek), and is all about how one woman almost single handedly severed ties between the Gucci family and their brand.

Claire’s Life: Hanifa’s First DC Show Featuring Karen Huger, Gizelle Bryant, and the Real Housewives of Potomac!
