Raheem DeVaughn, Lil’ Mo and S2S Publisher Jamie Foster Brown were among those in attendance to party with Jennifer and celebrate her special day.

“Thank you so much for coming. Y’all don’t have no idea how much this means to me. You guys are the ones who keep me going,” said Jennifer. “Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings.”
