T
he Black Tie Chandelier Gala, formal dinner and fashion show has become a huge blessing in Columbus, Ohio. “It’s comforting knowing that someone else cares about your loss besides
you.” In November 2011 we lost our 10 year old granddaughter Essence Foster to cancer In July 2013 we lost our second granddaughter, 27 year old Tiffany Bush to cancer. In September 2013 we founded the first Black Tie Chandelier Gala. It was a huge success, everyone went home a star. We stepped out on faith. Through the foundation we are able to give donations to the James Cancer Clinic and to Sickle Cell. We are also able to recognize local fashion students and fashion designers. “When you are doing what warms your heart and trying to help put a smile on the faces of others, this is what makes it all worth while. My reward is seeing tears turn to into smiles, even if it is only for one day.” Bea was also honored at the 2017 Gala for her work with the foundation and in the community. Please help us to help others. Your gifts and support are greatly appreciated. Thank You , Creative Urban Living Inc, 167 South State Street suite #30 Westerville, Ohio 43081

M
aria Durant is a four time Emmy Award Winning Reporter for ABC 6 and FOX 28 News. She has also received numerous Associated Press Awards and has been honored with several awards from the Society of Professional Journalists. She says she's always wanted to be a reporter. When she was a little girl she used to go around the neighborhood interviewing her neighbors. Then she'd send the tape to her grandparents so they could see where they lived. As the daughter of a Military Naval Officer the family moved often... so there were plenty of tapes mailed out. Maria says she feels very privileged to be able to tell stories and to keep viewers informed about what is happening in their community.

MARIA DURANT CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE
A graduate of The Ohio State University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science, little did Maria know she
would someday become a news story herself. In October of 2006 Maria was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. But instead of hiding her diagnosis, Maria decided to share her story in hopes of helping others.
Maria is involved with several cancer organizations ... and as a Filipino she especially wants young Asian American Women to know that it can happen to them. But that early detection is the key. ï‚·
