Humans....What y'all been doing?

I ain't want nothing for real. I do have a few things I can discuss tho.

*I may not answer your call cause I'm trying to keep my land line clear just incase Jesus, the Ancestors or THE MONEY calls.

*And if your lost about my wasp reference... don't be... One just decided I needed some CONTROL!

*Again, Im glad I broke up with my ego and comfortable with my George Jefferson cut. Ha. If you ain't laugh at that visual you really don't have the personality to be around me.

*26 years of being a resident in the City of Richmond ends in 25 days.

*You gotta be absolutely insane to open up a hospitality brick and mortar space right now.

*Hi. My name is Insane.

*All good... Maggie Lena Walker (UHS inspo) and Sarah Garland Boyd Jones (new cafe) were BFFs and theyr'e up there telling all the non Black ancestors to give me $999,999.00 -> 20M -> $40M + a mule, horse, 5 cattle and the canoe that they are OWED cause I'm collecting it in their honor to BLESS others.

And lastly since they're watching this.... THANK YOU Faye & Karl - the way you make sure Lance and I know you all have our backs on any and EVERY thing we dream to do is humbling, appreciated, noticed and inspiring to a lot of ppl. 🍋🫶🏽‼️ taken in Richmond Times Dispatch Printing Plant by @likethefruit

Humans...

For those that may be questioning why Central Virginia is going so hard and wondering...

What did Bill Martin do:

Made people uncomfortable telling the whole story with a little CONTROVERSY.

Gave us acess to historical receipts which helped us get to the TRUTH.

Said our names LOUD in rooms that we were absent from.

Taught us how to go to the thing, make a lap and then dip out. Be seen however stay a MYSTERY.

Shot us petty side eyes on little thoughts cause he wanted us to get more and go BIGGER... cause we deserved.... #FORTHEANCESTORS.

Thank you @billrva....... THANK YOU!!!!!! taken in The Valentine by @likethefruit

Welcome to the final 30 days til I hit FIFTY!

In 2000 I got compensated for my God given talent for the first time as the inaugural side line reporter for VCU Men's Basketball.

That opportunity set shit off...

VCU Ram Replay 》RVA Grooves (NBC 12) 》
Radio One (Kiss FM) 》Coffee with Strangers Podcast 》Virginia Video Network / RTD

Here's a look back as I reflect on the last 25 years.
I'm excited to see what's in God's plan if I'm blessed to see 25 more! Celebrate with me ALL 2026!

Humans.... couple of weeks ago, I took a quick Amtrak ride up to @visitphilly and I had a time that I wasn't expecting.

From luxe vibes to soul-fed moments, dope people, Black-owned gems to art that made me stop and breathe. If you didn't get to check out my stories while I was there... Here’s PART ONE on some of the things I got into!

☆ Franklin on Rittenhouse - Old school charm, luxury, and a bar that's a hidden speak easy. It was sexy and screamed RICH AUNTIE!

☆ Forin Cafe - Always gotta see what the coffee shops hitting for.

☆ Barnes Foundation - Renoir, Cezanne, and Matisse came through with the classics.

☆ Liberty Bell - Gave a lil nod to the ancestors. This VA girl loves to tie it all together. About that crack tho.

☆ Franklin Fountain - Y'all know I love a soda water or an OG ginger ale.... with a little history!

☆ Delaware River Waterfront - Does this Water Coutry Girl need to say more?

☆ Good Karma Café- Talk about loyal to local. And the bacon, bagel and Americano warmed my heart.

☆ Rocky, Art Museum and City Hall - A true tourist moment however you will learn alot and really see the people of Philly!

☆ Reading Terminal Market - Feds every kind of craving — For days!

☆ Bok Bar - Views, breeze, adult bevs, small paltes in an old city high scool. Dope meeting @bari.social from the #VisitPhilly crew there!

And 72 hour later, we were back on the train. We headed straight to the cafe car... to get some work done! Talk about work hard... and play harder! Y’all, @amtrakva really be giving a little luxury without the airport stress.

Alright... Check out PART TWO.. dedicated to the Black owned places I visited!
