It was an incredible day filled with excitement, inspiration, and the chance to celebrate months of hard work alongside so many amazing athletes. I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of it and create memories that I’ll carry with me for years to come.

A huge thank you to Jack, @jfx.visuals and his team for capturing these amazing photos and preserving moments from such a special day. 📸

I’m gonna be honest… I almost didn’t go.

My son was my biggest supporter, and when I was asked to be a presenter at JBY, he was so excited for me. But after losing him… I didn’t think I had the strength to show up.

But I could hear him… clear as day.
“Momma, you need to go. I want you to go.”

So I went.

And it was exactly what my heart needed. Being in a room full of people who truly understand… no judgment, just love and support it did something for me 💛

I’ll definitely be back in 2027… and I hope to see you there too.

Peace and blessings 💛🖤
