A Dream Swan Fantasy

Tatianna Longstratt (left) and Alexis Cain slipped on white to bow to society March 24 at "A Dream Swan Fantasy" at Shreveport Convention Center. They were among 17 debutantes presented by Sigma Rho Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. But this debutante business is not all froth and swans. Oh, no. The event took place after months of dedication and planned activities. Before the formal evening, those debs volunteered for community work. They learned the ABCs of leadership and attended workshops on education, culture and social activities. They also took a break to dash to Little Rock, Ark., to see William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library.
