My Testimonials

May 21, 2007
Shira:

Thank you for letting me post my private life on your Tribe website.

All the encouragement that I received from members of your site was invaluable. I was able to get over the hurt, anger, and pain thanks to you and your long time friendship!

Hopefully, we can meet again in the near future. You are such an asset to the belly dance community!

Hugs,

Azeeza
