Sister Sister, by Erick Jerome Dickey was the February 2025 “throwback” book. TBC originally read this book in 1997. A time was had by all in attendance. The hostesses Shanette Anderson and Felicia Stromile brought the book to life in true Tabahani fashion by literally taking the members back to the 90’s for specific highlights and scenes from the book. The members came dressed in fashionable 90’s attire. From baggy jeans, overalls, and track suits to combat boots, bucket hats, and bamboo earrings – TBC members understood the assignment!
The night started in the “club” at the Ramada Lounge, just like in the book. Members enjoyed appetizers of charcuterie boards featuring a variety of meats, cheeses, fruits, crackers, jams and nuts. The bar at the “club” was open, for the guests to enjoy alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as they listened to 90’s music and socialized. The party really got to jumping when the members were divided into groups of 3 and participated in a dance battle. We saw some moves that let us know some members did not forget their club days or house parties. The members then played a 90’s R&B trivia game and Linda Turner Felix knew her music and was crowned the winner!
The partygoers also had caricatures of themselves drawn by Aaron the Artist as a keepsake of the night, to remind them when Black left the club for some fresh air and ran into Michael. When the last call of the night was announced, and the club was closing, the ladies all hopped on the 91 Freeway and went to Denny’s for a French Toast Slam or Pancake Slam just as Red did to close out the night. It was definitely a night filled with nostalgia as we all relived our “clubbing” days followed by late night/early morning eats! The laughter coming from the table had everyone in stitches!
