For every ending in a family, there is a beginning. God brought a lot of beautiful beginnings this year that I haven’t shared yet, and I think it’s time to change the narrative of my 2026. Most importantly, I was blessed to be the MOH in my best friend @devvvsours wedding to my baby-brotha-by-choice @rierna. To say that these two are family is an understatement. I would not be here without them….

I would feel taller though without them.

Cheers to the best of the best. I’m humbled by this honor. I love you two apart, but I love y’all even more together. by @papshmo

My mother was diagnosed with cancer with an 85% chance of survival in December. She was given unexpected news of months in May. And 3 weeks later she was gone.

My mother lost the battle and our hearts lost this war. A result no one imagined. Our journey has been full of shock, anguish, and anger. It was full of pain and denial. It was full of exhaustion and perceived unfairness. It was full of nothing we were prepared for. But it was also full of love.

Although God promises suffering, He also promises hope, healing, and salvation. He promises to never forsake us, and He didn’t. There was God in that room when my mother left us mere feet away from where we slept. There was God in that room as she flipped through my sister’s Bible as one of her final acts in her earthly body. There is God in these rooms as we plan her final resting place.

My mom was the best. She was unapologetic, beautiful, and complex. She was fierce and faithful. She was generous sometimes to a fault, charitable often as an assumed makeup of her character. She taught me what it means to have an intensity and an individuality. To have no time for those who don’t value her. To always give more than you get. To not be afraid to infuriate the few to do right by the many. She was always there when it mattered. Always. She was the first one I called after every break up, every disappointment, every moral dilemma. She will still be the first one I talk to through my prayers. She will be there for my wedding, my children, my life, however long. I am her and she is me.

God is good and He has our heavy, heavy hearts now.

Hug your moms. by @papshmo

✨Fighting✨for PLUR underneath the electric sky 💪 💫

✨ EDC LV Day 3 as Los Luchadores representing @edc_mexico with @insomniacentertainers was wild.
✨ Wrestling barricades and stages for @griz @woolimusic @sevenlions was even more wild.

Thank you for letting the strong girls take the ring and fight for the headliners bell to bell, @mseasy @edc_lasvegas 🔔 💪 by @papshmo

Wow, what a dream under the electric sky.
✨ 💖⚡️💨 🎵 🌟

Performing at @edc_lasvegas with @insomniacentertainers was one of the best challenges I’ve taken on as an entertainer. This visual marathon pushes your endurance mentally and physically, but the EDC family is the MOST iconic and energizing you’ll ever encounter. I was beyond blessed with the opportunity to take on 3 entirely different characters and personas, much like the many hats I wear in real life. It was a perfectly magical and inspirational weekend. Beyond grateful.

Thank you @mseasy for letting two out-of-nowhere NOLA names fly into your magical stratosphere of art. Getting to experience being part of your cast with @dancingdyll will forever be a chapter cemented into my heart.

This Mardi Gras I learned that choosing a full body suit as your only costume layer is limiting when it’s time to eat with your hands. 🤷‍♀️ by @papshmo
