Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! Yesterday, former University of Maryland and Our Lady of Good Counsel high school alumnus Stefon Diggs hosted a Mother’s Day Wellness Event at Hotel Zena in Washington, DC. The event started off with a Yoga session for attending participants and moved upstairs to the rooftop bar where attendees were able to enjoy music, food and other fun activities with Diggs and other members of his immediate family.
