Please join us for our September 9th Breakfast

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Hollywood



Join sisters Tina Pennington "Red" and Mandy Williams "Black" as they share their story!

 

Red, a warm and fuzzy stay-at-home mom, had a crisis and turned to her older sister, Black, an extremely pragmatic Ferrari-racing retired corporate executive.  Red was looking for answers (and sympathy) but should have known better.  When Black turned her crisis into their bestselling book, What I Learned About Life When My Husband Got Fired!, it was intended as the basis of a sitcom.  But shortly after it was launched by Neiman Marcus, it took on a life of its own and detoured into the world of education and then criminal justice (life rarely goes as planned). And while you might laugh along with Red and Black, and their sisterly banter about money, time management, and even piles of paper, wait until you hear why Black thinks “life is like a racetrack.”
