Tune in and join Dabney and the Social Media Girlfriends as we bring one of our own Social Media Girlfriends, Amanda Greene, also known as LA Lupus Lady. On this show she talks about living with flair and passion, despite being diagnosed with Lupus over 30 years ago.
Amanda has been sharing her story with flair on stage for conferences from New York State of Now – #140conf to Los Angeles Women in Pain Conference and connecting with Richard “@TheWeightSaint” Simmons for the Great Challenge at TEDMED. The Social Media Girlfriends feel honored to have Amanda as an integral part of “Team Girlfriend,” as she is one of the voices behind our community twitter handle – @SmGirlfriends. As a Social Media Consultant, she has vast experience working with companies and specializes in creating online brand identities for her clients.
Amanda’s passion is contagious! In this interview she talks about how she takes a different approach to living with Lupus – an autoimmune disease which afflicts more than 1.5 million people in the United States. Listen to the show to hear Amanda share her journey of living with a chronic disease and how she is “Celebrating the flair while avoiding a flare.” Amanda discovered her “Lupus Style” when she chose to live life active and thriving. Her fastidious dedicated approach to Lupus awareness and her numerous participation in events throughout the country is beyond incredible and truly commendable.
We are so proud to have Amanda on the Social Media Girlfriend’s team. We love that her smile and positive attitude shines through in everything she does, making her such a special lady – listen to Girlfriends Talk Radio today!
Amanda lives in Los Angeles with her husband and favorite four-legged creature. She is a strong advocate for Lupus Awareness and continues to spread her cape. You can find her at LA Lupus Lady or tweet her @LAlupuslady she’d love to chat!
Amanda ~ “Lupus Lady” ~ on Blog Talk Radio
I am Amanda also known as @LAlupusLady on Twitter. I am a member of Dabney’s #TeamGirlfriends where I sometimes chat with the @SmGirlfriends handle. I love this community that provides support and encouragement to each and everyone within it. I am so happy to be interviewed by Dabney on GIRLFRIENDS TALK RADIO today, Wednesday, May 1st, because the month of May is a special month for me. It is “Lupus Awareness Month” and I am proud to kick it off with the Social Media Girlfriends in what I call “Lupus Style” – where I like to celebrate and “find my flair, while avoiding a flare (which is a period when my condition is active and inflamed).”
I “find my flair” when I wear my purple cape, tights and boots. This past Sunday, I was a part of the “L Hand Sign Lupus Awareness Flash Mob” in Hollywood. At Noon, over 150 people (most of them, wearing purple) froze while proudly flashing the “L Hand Sign” the event was videotaped and will be posted online soon.
I am committed to doing whatever it takes to raise Lupus Awareness and support Lupus Research so that one day (hopefully, in my lifetime) there will be a cure for lupus. Next week, I will fly to New York City to join in and support the Alliance for Lupus Research. On May 9th, I am going to be a part of the “LupUs is Us” event in the East Village. The next day, May 10th is World Lupus Day and I will be donning my purple cape, tights and boots and instead of Hollywood Blvd, I’ll be in Times Square for another Flash Mob. Shortly after that I’ll be on my way to a wonderful celebratory lunch at Joanne’s Trattoria. A wardrobe change will be happening in the back of a cab en route. Can you picture it? Like Superman used a phone booth, I am going to use a cab, only changing from my outfit as a caped crusader for Lupus Awareness into “LA Lupus Lady.”
I enjoy being a part of the #SmGirlfriends community and hope you join our mini-chats every weekday at 12pm/EST & 9am/PST where I tweet as @SmGirlfriends. Follow me and my #LupusStyle adventures on Twitter or on my blog LA Lupus Lady – or maybe you could support my team “Lupus Awareness is Fun” that is walking on May 18th in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium. Hope to see you in the chat!

Girlfriends Talk Radio: Dabney talks openly with Tomeka Napper – ViJIEN Enterprises Corporation
Join Dabney and your Social Media Girlfriends as we bring one of our own Social Media Girlfriends, Tomeka Napper on the air to talk about women empowerment, business development, entertainment and all things fabulous!
Known for her professionalism and straight-forward attitude, Tomeka’s mission in life is that everyone understands they matter and she uses this philosophy to be a service to others. She has risen out of adversity into her current role as the CEO of ViJIEN Enterprises Corporation, a strategic business design and management company for emerging businesses, nonprofits and entertainment professionals. Tomeka has served the corporate, higher education and non-profit/private sectors for over 16 years in the areas of administration, brand-marketing, procurement, creative content and project management. Tomeka was recently honored at National Voices for Equality, Education and Enlightenment – NVEEE – for her message of empowering and strength towards anti-bullying.
Tomeka Napper has a powerful story of overcoming horrific challenges by teaching herself to walk strong and stand proud. You will be amazed by the trials and tribulations this woman has overcome, yet still becoming the powerful beauty we can all admire. When you hear her story it will inspire you to truly believe that you too, can and will overcome difficulties in your life.
Placed in foster care at the age of 4 years old, Tomeka was sadly introduced to the never ending question of, “Where do I belong?” At the age of 11 years old she was transferred to another foster care home and it was there that she endured some of the most trying times in her young life. By the grace of God Tomeka was given a valuable lesson which made her realize that she matters and she carries this with her to this day. Finding peace in her adoption at age 13, she realized she had been given a second chance in life and her hope was restored. This led her on a journey to strength and empowerment which taught her the valuable lessons she would need to know as the leader she is today.
She is still learning, as we all are, but the most important and valuable lesson she has learned is, “I matter because – if I can’t GET that I matter then I can’t GET that YOU matter” and this is what guides her to be a service to others. We are honored that she is a Social Media Girlfriend because she is a true reflection of what our community is about. Listen to her on Girlfriends Talk Radio today!
Tomeka Napper was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. She currently resides in Florida with her 11-year-old son. Find her at ViJIEN Enterprises, like her on Facebook or Tweet her @TomekaNapper. She is someone you are going to want to “tweet!”
