When Clarence Hill Jr asked me to help invite people out for a meet n greet with ESPN's Jemele Hill and Michael Smith, I thought wow this will be great!
But I had no idea just how many people would show up and the great networking opportunity that would take over the foundation room that night. The National Association of Black Journalists DFW chapter in association with the NABJ sports task force wanted to showcase two of its active members.

ESPN "His&Hers" TV personalities Michael Smith & Jemele Hill, who were welcomed to Dallas in style. With just about three days notice Star-Telegram sports reporter Clarence Hill, NBC 5 assignment editor Stephen Wright, along with NABJ leaders Cheryl Smith, Eva Coleman (and I helped) brought out more than a hundred journalists, Business professionals, attorneys, NFL players, and sports analysts, and so many more!
