We have someone very special today, someone I have known for a few years and who always stands out as a most creative, inspirational person. Bayou Bennett.

Introducing Jo Fraser, my long time friend and fellow dreamer. Jo is 29 years old, Mother to two gorgeous children and one of the most creative people I know.
