Last night, international cover girl Jourdan Dunn put her good looks and worldwide recognition to good use with the "Cell For Gratitude" launch party.
Jourdan, who also hosts a popular web-based cooking show, recently opened up about son's battle with Sickle Cell Disease which inspired the idea for the party and a line of necklaces which will be sold to fund research projects and awareness efforts.
On Instagram, she said, "Thank you everyone who came out to support cell for gratitude. This is just the start of my journey with SCDAA and generating change and awareness. Together we can make a difference."
Nice!

Fun times.
And at an event in ATL....
On Saturday, Atlanta celebs made their way to the Live and Die for Hip Hop Black Out Gala (presented by anesthetist and healthcare entrepreneur LaToya “Leigh” Wise) at the Woodruff Arts Center to celebrate the life and legacy of multi-platinum rapper Chris Kelly, half of the dynamic rap duo Kriss Kross.
Lil Wayne and Toya Wright’s daughter Reginae Carter was tapped to host the event as they paid pay tribute to the late rapper.

“RHOA” regular Dwight Eubanks conducted the event. He posed it up alongside former "Rickey Smiley Morning Show" host Ebony Steele.
Atlanta rapper Bone Crusher chucked the dueces on the carpet.
Sirius XM radio host Mr. Ed Lover was in the building.
And music industry executive Shanti Das was all smiles before the event.
Kim & Toya looked lovely in all black.
"LAHH ATL" stars Rasheeda and her husband Kirk Frost hopped in a group shot with Tiny Harris, Kim Porter's twins and others.
