The Enchanted Closet has been approached by several people in the entertainment industry and was the featured organization for the Enchanted Brides Giveaway sponsored by Porsha Williams of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the most-watched series on the Bravo network. Additionally, the organization was featured in an episode of Centric’s reality show, From the Bottom Up, created by Nicci Gilbert and produced by Queen Latifah. Entertainment personalities Egypt Sherrod of HGTV, Nicci Gilbert of the group Brownstone and creator of the reality show R&B Divas, Derek J of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Christine Beatty of the show From the Bottom Up, and Keisha Lancelin of CW69’s Focus Atlanta have partnered in service with the organization.

Radio and television personality Elle Duncan, previously of V-103/CBS Radio and the WXIA-11 Alive News Team has been the Enchanted Closet’s celebrity spokesperson for several years. She is currently a sports anchor and reporter on ESPN.

Elle Duncan partnered with Bonita Johnson of the Enchanted Closet program for the first installment of her Cause & Effect series, titled, Prom Enchanted.

“Enchanted Closet is an amazing charity that’s been around for so many years and people didn’t know about it. What we’re hoping to do with Cause & Effect is highlight causes, organizations and charity events that don’t normally get a lot of attention in [the] mainstream [press],” said Duncan.

“It’s important to have events like this to broaden the exposure for our organization and gather the support of the community. Girls need to know that people care and are concerned about them and by having events like this it brings more people into the fold and gives them the exposure and support that they need,” stated Johnson.

Guests were entertained by V-103’s DJ Jaycee as they mingled and enjoyed light refreshments. Singers Chloe and Halle delivered a moving performance as they serenaded the crowd with their unique vocal abilities.

“When you watch a 15-year-old or 16-year-old girl who has low self-esteem and maybe doesn’t have a lot of confidence, and you see her on a dress and she lights up a room, it feels amazing. These girls walk in, shoulders hunched over and they can’t even look you in the eye, and one dress can change all of that,” said Duncan. –christian johnson, Rolling Out Magazine
