    Congratulations to both of you sisters!! I am very proud of you Angela and Vanessa! I must say your parents are definitely stirring you young ladies in a positive direction. Angela I remember meeting you in July 2006 Time Square area) while vacationing in New York. You were so nice to let me and my sister take a picture of you and give you a hug. You are just as beautiful and polite in person as you are on Run’s House. I remember telling you to let your parents know that we took time out of our vacation and went to our hotel room to watch the show (that’s how much we love it). I wish you ladies all the success!! Please let me know where I can find your new footwear. Thanks and may God Bless!!

I’ve always admired Rev. Run for the unforgettable clean & fun hip hop music. Most of all MY ADIDAS and his clothing line. My daughters & I actually had a chance to see the shoes you girls rocked on RIP THE RUNWAY. We immediately went On-line to find out more about your shoes and magazine. Now my daughters will get to enjoy your footwear & magazine as well. We are looking forward to puchasing soon. Thanks for being such amazing , talented and wonderfully smart young black women.

Look what GOD can do. I am not mad at them! PLEASE do not get it twisted. I look on a website and people were waiting for hours to meet them and buy there shoes in ATL. i have been to the underground it is not that popular. once someone has favor on their life why hate congratulate…i hope you place that energy where it needs to be and look forward to ways to make your life more efficient in GOD then hate on someone who is doing what other are not! they are working there GIFTS god has given to them.
