The best part of flying back to Boston was getting to see these amazing kids graduate. I’ve known them collectively for three years, watching them grow up right before my eyes. I’d like to think I’d had some kind of impact on their lives, but the reality is that they are wonderful, independent young adults ready to take on the real world completely on their own. High-res

Live Long and Prosper (After Graduation)

For those who don’t know, I grew up on Star Trek. Voyager and Deep Space Nine, in particular - but I am well acquainted with the adventures of Captain Kirk and Picard. After getting stuck in the back of his guest lecture last year, I camped out an hour early at Nickerson Field this past weekend to get prime seats for watching Leonard Nimoy walk by: 

Leonard Nimoy, original actor of the cool, calculated Star Trek character Spock, walks to the stage with Eric E. Schmidt, CEO of Google, in tow.

After receiving his honorary degree of Doctor in Human Letters at Boston University’s 139th Commencement Ceremony, Nimoy graces enthusiastic attendees with a double dose of his character’s Vulcan salute.

The only natural way to acknowledge Leonard Nimoy. 

Wrap Up Africa Headquarters

Welcome to the temporary Wrap Up Africa HQ in San Francisco! It’s a little bit of a hike to get to our founder’s house (aka, cottage villa) in the Oakland Hills, but I’d much prefer a mahogany dining table with Earl Grey tea over a tiny cubicle and a vending machine.

You should know ahead of time that I’m a complete interior design addict. I watched that Top Design show on Bravo in its entirety:

After our meeting today, we’ve got big plans for the second half of 2012! Community outreach marathons, tradeshows in New York and a fashion show right here in the Bay Area. Follow our daily activity on Twitter, share your thoughts on Facebook and look out for a fashion look book blog featuring our new clothing line coming out in July!

But the real treat today? Meeting our beautiful office mascot, Isis, from Uganda! (Horace, her shaggy black labrador counterpart, is hiding somewhere underneath the patio.)
