You asked, so we’re back — and this time we’re keeping score 😏♟️

In celebration of Black History Month, The HBCU Happy Hour returns as a Game Night at @therapywinebar2.0.

Spades partners will be tested and Uno may end friendships.

Pull up in your HBCU or BHM merch, bring your favorite game, and come ready to prove you really went to an HBCU (or at least learned how to play like it).

For everyone who came last time — you already know the vibe.
For everyone who missed it — don’t make that mistake twice.

🗓️ Friday, Feb 20 | 6–8PM
📍 Therapy Wine Bar 2.0 — Brooklyn
🔁 Every third Friday. A new reason to show up.

Community, cocktails, and a little friendly competition.
👉 RSVP in the link in bio.

As the year picks up, I wanted to spotlight some stand out moments from last year!

2025 truly put my talents to use in real time and reminded me what I was capable of. A year of applied skills, creative risks, and lessons!

Thank you to everyone featured in this post who gave me space to create, supported my vision, and made 2025 a year to remember.

I’m forever grateful!

Looking forward to new heights, more collaborations, and new creative endeavors in 2026!

Your ideas deserve reccess, LET’S PLAY! ✴️🛝
