My mother is stunning. If you know me, you know how much I love Ms Brenda. I get my drive and generosity from this remarkable woman. I learned to show up from her.

Coming from Trinidad to Toronto in 1971 with very little money. Mother of 3, grandmother of 5, someone who believes you can manifest the life you want. Happy Mother’s Day! by @ms.sedina

Happy High School Graduation to my niece @thatgirl.sierrathrows! Sierra is a force and a ray of sunshine. Congrats to @only1melodie and Trev for raising such a great human. It is a joy to be her aunt and watch her grow. Send all the good vibes for the Olympics 2028 where she’ll be competing in hammer throw. It is so! by @ms.sedina
