OVER THE MOUNTAIN Journal
Starlight Debs Presented at Cotillion More than 300 guests attended the Starlight Debutante Cotillion on March 9. The event included the presentation of 15 young women, who were introduced in formal white ball gowns, pearls and white gloves. The girls carried tulip bouquets presented to them by their mothers. The event ended a year of activities that began with the “Mother of Debs” idea by Stacey Haynes. Mothers and debutantes participated in several service and personal development activities. They help set up the Sankofa Soiree at the Birmingham Museum of Art and had a mother/daughter luncheon at the Embassy Suites in Hoover with guest Marquita Davis, state director of finance. The girls were presented with bracelets with star charms. In December, the group attended cooking classes at the Culinard and went on an educational retreat in January. At the cotillion, the debs were joined by their fathers on the ballroom floor for their first ballroom dance. The debutantes presented were Melissa Danielle Matthews, a senior at Hoover High School and the daughter of Patrick and Dr. Susanne Matthews; Morgan Ryann Robinson, a senior at Oak Mountain High School and the daughter of Henry and Michelle Turner; Page Dominique Juzang, a senior at Oak Mountain High School and the daughter of Joseph and Sophia Juzang; Joy Rosa Adrianne Jackson, a senior at Oak Mountain High School and the daughter of Dr. Aldophus and Diann Jackson; DeOra Marie Simon, a junior at Briarwood Christian School and the daughter of Dr. Gerald and Joylene Simon; Hannah Kennedy Floyd, a junior at Spain Park High School and the daughter of Kevin and Cathy Floyd; Maya Jeanae Johnson, a junior at Oak Mountain High School and the daughter of Mark and LaTanya Johnson; Myrah Elizabeth Taylor, a junior at Oak Mountain High School and the daughter of Robert and Dr. Brenda Taylor; Janaya Ranice Nelson, a sophomore at John Carroll Catholic High School and the daughter of Drs.
