“Originating from the popular TV show ‘Parks and Recreation,’ the holiday is all about declaring love and affection to the girls who make up our support system….It started as a celebration of Leslie Knope’s ladyfriends. But the pseudo-holiday has caught on as a way to celebrate that most common and yet most unremarked-upon of things: female friendship….”
Ali Tedeschi of H.O.M.E. by Ali and I are co-hosting a virtual Galentine’s Gathering on February 13 from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm for our “ladyfriends” in the Providence Metro area. We treasure our relationships and want to celebrate them, so why not have a party?!
