Spice makes the day of a lucky high schooler

Dancehall artist and reality TV star, Spice, has made the day of one lucky high schooler.

The VH1’s Love and Hip Hop Atlanta cast member recently launched the Grace Hamilton Women Empowerment Foundation and partnered with JLM couture, VaSeanBrielle Nail Boutique, Empire Beauty School and hair brand Lola’s Hair to provide a unique opportunity for young women at NYC’s John Dewey High School on a prom giveaway competition, according to The Source.

Applicants were asked to submit a statement of why they should be considered for the prize, and from that pool, the winner was Leslie Peña.

The win gave Pena her prom dress and shoes and well as hair, makeup and accessories to attend the prom. She and a guest were also treated to a complimentary pre-prom meal at a local restaurant.
