37 & thriving!

Older, wiser, more mature and never felt better. 🤎

Good people, good vibes, a peaceful mind and a heart full of gratitude. Learning that life is less about having it all and more about being content with what you have, loving your people properly, and making the most of the moments that matter.

Thank you to all my sisters who are always there for me. My heart is full! I’ve had such a fab birthday and I love nothing more than my favourite people coming together in moments like these.

Here’s to more life, more love, more laughter, and many more blessings.

Be grateful. Live well ❤️🥂

An impromptu speech from the 🖤 by 1/3 of BNB @lovelawson ✨

Thank you to all the wonderful people that came down to @queenelizabetholympicpark @vam_east Music is Black festival!
Thank you to the INCREDIBLE DJs @djsandraomari @elladhc & @darkstepper that poured their passion onto the dance floor🪩

The theme was power & respect and tbh we need more of both. But creating BORN N BREAD has allowed us to spread joy and love through music & that is amazing. Yesterday was a moment that cemented our WHY!

Why after 13yrs we are still passionate about Black women being present and leading in the dancery as curators/promoters and DJs.

One day we will speak about what it is truly like being a Black woman in the dance/club/music industry! by @chikainmotion

BORN N BREAD x GALA Cornerstone Tent Takeover. Five years in the making ❤️

What a weekend!

Big love to everyone who stepped into our world on Friday. To our DJs, our team, our supporters, and every single person who brought the vibes, thank you for coming through and sharing it with us.

The energy in the tent was insane!! Every set, every dance, every reload, every face in the crowd. Colourful. Loud. Sweaty and just pure connection.

This year’s lineup felt extra special too, with all our DJ competition winners over the last five years all in one place, repping the next generation of selectors and the community we’ve been building together since day one!

We’ll be thinking about this one for a while 🖤🏆

Our hands are FULL! So many roles to play and so much responsibility. Being mothers, business owners and DJs isn’t easy at alllll. But despite all the stress, we still make time to show up for each other as sisters because sisterhood truly is sacred 🥹🖤

Make sure you get together with your sisterhood circle this Galentine’s day!

1st booking of 2026 🥳 and we’re back to work.

That was an absolute hoot 🎉 thank you so much @28yearslatermovie and @sonypicturesuk for booking your girls to set the vibes. We’re soooo glad the cast and crew enjoyed themselves ! Between the cardboard cutouts of Ralph Fiennes and Jack O’Connell getting down we can successfully say we had a time !

What a great way to start the year let’s go 💪🏾🥳 by @chikainmotion
