Y’all can celebrate America, I’ll just be over here celebrating the bestie’s birthday. 

@jamonsoul thank you for being one of the most soulful people I’ve ever encountered. For weathering the storms with me. For staying present and patient. For learning side by side how to transition to a life long friendship where love is the most unconditional it could ever be. 

Cheers to you being born 🐸! Happy 51st.

My love, I will always be right by your side, just a few steps behind letting you figure it out, or just in front to show you how it can be done. You are my absolute first love. The toughest of ‘em all. I would have it no other way. You continually challenge me to grow, whether you know it or not. Happy birthday. You’re doing great things my sweet. @samiiyxhh taken in Paris, France by @adeela_designs

It’s been a long time since I’ve spent my older brother’s bday with him in real life. 

I’ve been working from his office the last couple days and seeing the reasons why he is so good at what he does and why he was able to start his own firm (shout out to @thexcrosses ).

Additionally, I am forever grateful for his encouragement and support of @samiiyxhh as she moves through the next chapter of her young adult life. Definitely so much of the reason why she is where she is. (Shout out to AUP and Paris!). Definitely an amazing uncle to both my kids. 

From July 9th to Aug 26th we are the same age, so cheers to being a year-ish older again, and back to bossing me around. 🤗

Chapter 47. 

On this birthday my wishes have turned to prayer. (Mis)Information has become abundant, sorting through the messaging, exhausting. No matter what the headlines, we know people, both near and far are suffering. Stop with me for a sec. Celebrate me with thought, please. Let’s think about our family, friends and neighbors, that person you don’t know but they can use a kind word, and the people that might be a little more difficult to like. Let’s virtually hold hands and pray for them ALL (in whatever form of spiritually comfortable for you).

47 years of blessings and breath. 18 years of motherhood (the greatest of all blessings). Clarity, peace, and drive is what I’m channeling on this next rotation. 

Why this image? I’ve loved this book for as long as I can remember. Read it over and over until the golden spine became paper dust. As a little thing reading it, laughing at Grover’s silly a$$, I had no idea this would become guidance. A reminder that I’m the monster. I’m creating the problem. (You gotta read the book) It took me a lifetime of experiences, therapy, and just listening to myself to understand this very basic concept. 

In the wise words of @samiiyxhh it’s time to lock in. 

😘😘😘 thank you for all the love today. by @adeela_designs

We live surrounded by cameras and screens and yet it feels impossible to be seen. We are reduced to a demographic, constricted by algorithms, collected by a follower count, and restricted to a limited amount of characters. A Few Mo’ Minutes is my chance to have conversations that people. My chance to listen to how folks navigate humanity. A moment to see. Today we see my good friend and long time supporter, Adeela. You can see the full conversation on YouTube. by @adeela_designs

I didn’t plan the bachelorette—I am the bachelorette 😈
 
Tulum was hot but I was hotter. My girls really understood the assignment: keep the drinks coming, the compliments louder, and the drama minimal (we tried).

This trip had it all: melanin, mezcal, and main character moments. If you missed it… don’t worry, I didn’t.

Future wifey status: activated. Respectfully, the bride has entered her villain era.

I am so excited to announce the official kickoff of Play It Forward! I’m even more thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with a group of people for who I have the utmost respect and admire their talent and love for their craft. I also get to call them FRIENDS!

What is Play It Forward? In short – it’s a dynamic DJ competition that blends music, mentorship, and community. Designed as an open-format battle, it welcomes DJs of all styles to showcase their creativity, versatility, and deep crate knowledge. More than just a competition, it’s a platform for emerging talent to gain exposure, connect with industry leaders, and push the boundaries of live mixing. From B-sides and deep cuts to genre-bending sets, Play It Forward celebrates the art of DJing while growing the culture of open-format music. 

Hosted in partnership with Chocolate Sundays at Looking Glass Lounge, this event brings together music lovers and DJs in a space that champions artistry, community, and good vibes.

Sunday, March 16 | 10pm | Looking Glass Lounge – We will be kicking off the contest by getting everyone hype. So our “pro-DJs” will be showcasing their skills and their secret playlists. 

Then, every third Sunday of the month each pro-DJ will hand pick a DJ to compete against each other and show us what they got. The winner, by vote, will advance to the next month and two new DJs will compete, and so on. 

The prize? Becoming Chocolate Sundays resident DJ!!!

Speaking of Chocolate Sundays, we also get to celebrate the creators of what has become a night where the Looking Glass crew opens their doors to programs created by our local Black and Brown community. Food pop-ups, vendors, and live shows, just to name a few! Just ask @djthequestion or @rizthagreat about it when you come on Sunday to wish them a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And none of this could be possible without sponsorship from Real Del Valle. We will have signature cocktails, giveaways and more! So come out and enjoy this unique, 100% agave, additive-free, farmer owned tequila whose brand aligns with our commitment to valuing community.
