We will attempt to find the correct words to express how profoundly moving and inspiring the whole experience was yesterday at the birthday celebration and meet-and-greet for @fumidesaluvold, which was in partnership with @opvbeautyroom @opvbeauty

We are already blessed to have a close personal and professional ties with our dearest Fumi. To then be asked to stage manage the event was quite an honour as it meant being trusted to have not just the know-how but also possessing the emotional capacity, awareness and intelligence to moderate what was an emotionally charged and extremely personal Q & A. As with her social media platforms, Fumi and the Team created a safe, non-judgemental, nurturing space.

This was no normal meet-and-greet. It was group therapy, lead by a true life coach @fumidesaluvold based on lived experiences. Like everyone who attended and the global fumination family, we were completely verklempt by the life-changing stories shared by Fumi and the other participants.

Inspiration is an understatement in describing the deep sense of motivation, community and strength we all left with yesterday.

A very special thanks to the truly beautiful and formidable @fumidesaluvold . Also, special thanks to the dream team and awesome sponsors including,
