Editor's Note: When we decided to invite Rep. Stacey Abrams to be a guest contributor in the March issue of Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine, we had just been inspired by Phylicia Rashad's letter to her 21-year-old self. Our staff of young executive women greatly values mentoring, direct and indirect, and we take every opportunity to soak up words of wisdom from those who have gone before us up the ranks of corporate America. What we gained in her letter was greater than we could have ever anticipated. So great that I couldn't resist sharing her words here. - Katrice

Last night I marked My Vicarious Life 2nd birthday with a Social Soiree at the LOFT at Castleberry Hill. What a spectacular evening! Thank you to everyone who came out to help me celebrate and to The MVL Social sponsors — Atlanta Tribune: The Magazine, Avon, Shea Moisture, Color Me Beautiful, Beautiful Textures and Blackberry. I could not have done it without you!

Let's face it, Valentine's Day has long been designated as the holiday centered on her. But, he has things he'd love to receive too. Just ask him.
