This is 52!!!
This past year has reminded me that growth doesn’t stop when we get older—it just looks different. The older I get, the more I realize that success isn’t measured by accomplishments alone, but by the relationships we nurture, the lessons we embrace, and the moments we choose to be fully present.

I’m thankful for my family, friends, colleagues, and everyone who has been part of my journey. Your encouragement, laughter, wisdom, and occasional reality checks have made me better.

As I step into 52, I’m looking forward to being even more intentional with my time—especially with the people I love most... More conversations that matter. More laughs with friends. More adventures, new experiences, and opportunities to create memories worth holding onto. Life keeps getting richer, and for that, I’m deeply grateful.

Here’s to 52!!! A few extra gray hairs, a couple more pounds, a little slower to recover from late nights, 😆 but also a little wiser! Excited for whatever comes next! Thank you for the birthday love!!🫶🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 by @graybear09

Today I’m feeling incredibly proud as a mom!! Gray was accepted into the Vogue College of Fashion Summer Camp, and my heart is just overflowing with pride and gratitude.

Watching her grow into such a thoughtful, responsible, and driven young woman has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

What makes this moment even more meaningful is the maturity she showed along the way. Knowing the cost of the program, she made the incredibly selfless decision to forgo having a sweet sixteen party if she was accepted, choosing instead to invest in her dream. That kind of consideration and commitment speaks volumes about the person she is becoming.

Dreams don’t happen overnight — they grow from passion, hard work, and courage. I’m so proud of her for chasing hers so wholeheartedly. I cannot wait to see where this journey takes her!

Congratulations, my beautiful girl. Keep dreaming big and believing in yourself. Mom and Dad Eric Rhodes are always cheering you on. 💕 by @graybear09
