I reminisce for a spell…🕊️

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Things I was reminded of on this trip:
1. God is intentional and PRESSED to bless us in ways that are unique to us.
2. I deserve good things.
3. Delirious laughter is good for the soul.
4. Joy, abundance, creativity and PEACE are on offer to me to experience fully and deeply.
5. Hidden record shops in Brooklyn-like Japanese neighborhoods are healing.

Oh Japan, you blew me away! You owe me absolutely nothing except for a confirmation on when ur girl can come back🥰🥹

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the work I get to do as an EP. It can be grueling and often takes me away from the things and people I love. Someone recently asked if the end result is worth the fight it takes to get there. I’m proud to say that this project was absolutely worth all of it.

For Father’s Day, throwing it back to a shoot I produced that went live earlier this year w/ @boyziimen & fam. Something about this set was different. The love, laughter and decades of friendship were tangible. Generational seeds were sown…IYKYK. This is why I do what I do.

Shout out to the amazing team that made it possible!

🚨NEW WORK ALERT🚨
Feels like I’ve been in a production cave most of this year. Proud to finally be sharing my most recent work created in collaboration with @theestallion for her new swimwear line! Featuring the insanely talented @blackswans_synchro 🏊🏾‍♀️

Wouldn’t have made it off that mountain (IYKYK) without my ride or die @contenderlabs team and amazing production partners @schemeengine ! Grateful for every laugh, every hug and every huddle that kept us going.

THIS IS 40…

“Gathered in gratitude. Surrounded by love.
Celebrating a life of grace.
Tonight we celebrate not only the years behind Whitney, but the story God is still writing.
May this next chapter be her richest yet full of purpose, laughter, deep friendship, and the joy of knowing she is exactly where God has called her to be.
Whitney, the main character!”

Faith requires partnership. It’s not passive. It’s demands a surety that God knows your capacity because He crafted you. It’s not easy. It stretches you beyond what you think you’re capable of, but when you trust the promptings, the possibilities are endless!

Masters in Cinematic Production Mgmt secured…with honors. Gratitude and relief don’t even begin to cover it lol Hyped about what’s next!
