What an absolute honor to work with @phlur and @sephoracanada to bring Afterglow to life in Toronto for @chrisellelim and the loveliest group of creators. Every detail, down to the Afterglow scented napkins and sandalwood-smoked cocktails, was such a labor of love. Huge thank you to the team @andorerestaurant for making our dreams come true.Photos by the one and only @vanessa_cassar ✨ by @kiarablanchette

❤️🧡🤍💗 VENUS IN PISCES BOOK COVER REVEAL ❤️🧡🤍💗Venus in Pisces is now available for pre-order at kiarablanchette.comI chose to publish this book independently because I wanted to be completely in control of the creation and production of the book. From the cover I designed myself, to the pages I typed by hand, to the art I commissioned for the inside by my lovely friend @lindseywagner 💗Every detail has been painstakingly considered and I have remained true to my artistic integrity, meaning nothing has been embellished or watered down to make anyone else more comfortable. This is the diary of a queer Black woman. It is unwavering in its truth. It is unflinching in its unashamedness. This book is for the lover girls, the delulu girls, and uhh anyone who knows what limerence is.My hope is that with the help of my community, this book can reach the people it needs to. The best way to support me is to pre-order directly from me, get copies for your friends, and help spread the word because independent authors do not get the marketing support that big publishing houses offer.As a thank you for your support, everyone who pre-orders will receive a personalized note from me inside their book. The link is in my bio :) I just have a gut feeling that you all will make Venus in Pisces even bigger than I could’ve imagined 🫢Also! SURPRISE!! There are 2 book covers! One is a limited edition for Lesbian Visibility Week and it is ONLY available diring the pre-sale so get it while you can! by @kiarablanchette

Taking luxury to a new level. This is what it looks like to host a @tastemakeragency Gifting Suite in a $4.6 Million Penthouse. Had the absolute pleasure of hosting 100 Toronto influencers last Tuesday at the @tridelcommunities Aqualuna Condos. Our tastemakers went home with @davidstea, @jolieskin, @sonacosmetics, @eithioskin, @ultravioletteau, @its.lunher, @fableandmane, @poppi, @fevertreecanada. Let’s do it again.Photos by @vanessa_cassar of course. by @kiarablanchette

This Summer, I’m protecting my hair from not only heat damage, but also from UV damage, salt water, and chlorine. #AD @kerastse_official Blonde Guard keeps my color fresh. I use the entire Blond Absolu line which is amazing for lightened hair like mine. @sephoracanada #sephora #kerastase by @kiarablanchette

Turned the heat up with @VaselineBrand @tastemakeragency in Miami. The most perfect glowy evening celebrating the Glisten & Glow Body Gel Oils as we set sail on a yacht. Could not have had a more dazzling welcome to Miami. Loved planning this with @OgilvyNY Let’s do it again! #VaselinePartner by @kiarablanchette

27 was such a ride. I could not be more grateful for the winding road this last year was. Thank you for teaching me resilience in the face of every obstacle, for Saturn turning the heat up, for breaking me down and building me new again, for showing me what I’m capable of, for showing me the limit does not exist, that is it possible to keep growing and growing, even when you feel you’ve reached your ceiling. For reminding me that I am still little me in the grand scheme of all the mes to exist. Thank you for giving me room to grow. 28 is for expansion. by @kiarablanchette

Opening up a broader conversation around collaboration in marketing and the role of the agency/independent creative in a time where we desperately need to see human hands and minds at work!How platforms like @peoplebrandsandthings, @becauseofmarketing, @barefacedmedia, @rolodexmedia, @readmilkbag, @emilysundberg, and more are democratizing access to marketing news for industry folk and consumers alike.And why I refuse to be an anonymous elf who makes magic behind the scenes 😉🧝🏽‍♀️Read the full essay on Substack at the link in my bio, merciii 💗⭐️ by @kiarablanchette
