We heard Dinah Jane would be coming to town so I thought it would be a good idea to check it out. It's always interesting to listen to stories of success and the road it took to get there. My girls were most excited! My son was excited too but he wasn't about to show it. We watched her on YouTube and are big fans of the X-Factor so it didn't take much to convince the crew to head out.

Prior to the meeting, a luncheon was held for Dinah and the youth group that hosted the...

There are many stories out there regarding our histories. Regardless of our backgrounds, there are inspiring accounts of our ancestors and the road it took to get to where we are today.

You quickly followed @ikunaapparel on Facebook and are now slowly trickling on to Instagram and Twitter. Who can even keep up with all of that social...
