Happy Birthday Vashtay
Today is WestSide Storyy's President and Founder's 19th birthday. She started WSS in December of 2009 and approached Bates and I in January with her vision for the site which led to us forming a WSS Team. As Captain of our team, she does all the behind the scenes sh*t that ya'll wouldn't even know was going on with the site. A young BOSS LADY in the making and I love working along side of her to fulfill our goals and aspirations. She is one of the most organized, professional person I know at her age and it is my pleasure to help her achieve the vision she set out for when she created this entity we call, WestSide Storyy
So everybody follow Vashtay on twitter and wish her an Outstanding Birthday. . . . .(Why Not?)
