I’m 3️⃣6️⃣ (as of 12/11) !!!!! I usually take a few days after my birthday before posting, but time has been escaping me lately. I feel so overwhelmed in both good and bad ways.

This year has been ALOT. I’ve lost some more friendships, but there will always be love. I started a new relationship, which has challenged me in multiple ways while also adding a beautiful new perspective to my life. I witnessed friends hit their own major milestones with marriage and babies. I BOUGHT ANOTHER HOUSE, but this time, I actually live in it. It felt so good to have so many friends and family come to visit. I even hosted Thanksgiving! 🥲I took my first “real” trip overseas to Paris, Split (Croatia) and Madrid. I left the public sector and went back to corporate, and it’s true that more money seems to bring more problems. IM NOT COMPLAINING THOUGH!

I am so thankful to everyone who called, text, DMed, and posted me. It gives me anxiety, but please don’t stop. It’s needed sometimes. Shoutout to Sagittarius ♐️ Gang! Shoutout to my mama for having me! Shoutout to God for keeping me! 😭🎉🎉🎉🎉 by @stonichilds

It’s very rare that I post nowadays but certain things deserve recognition. I come from an extremely blended family -long story- and this is a BIG part of who I am. While I may not have literal, Wynn blood, they have always been my family. I am extremely proud to share that my grandma in love, Bernice Wynn, and my late grandfather in love Ernest Sr. have a street named after them in our hometown of Syracuse, New York. 🥹🧡💙 taken in Syracuse, New York by @stonichilds

Guys…I’m 3️⃣5️⃣ (as of 12/11) !!! It’s been such a blessing to reach this milestone. First off, shouts out to God, because I used to really think 30 was old and figured (full transparency) I wouldn’t make it this far. I’m soooo happy I did though. That’s it…that’s all. Thank you to EVERYONE who thought to reach out. It never goes unnoticed despite the anxiety it gives me. I plan to dedicate the next 35 years of my life pouring into those who pour into me, focusing on becoming a better version of myself, keeping my same, grown-but-childish vibe, and most importantly, SHOWING UP and showing out for those who do the same for me (within reason, of course). Happy birthday Toni!!! We are GROWN NOW 🥲🥳🎉🎉🎉🎉 by @stonichilds

“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth” - Muhammad Ali

Yesterday was one of the most intimidating yet fulfilling days of my life. However, not only did I get to do something I love, I also got to do it in a service capacity: providing those who are less fortunate with a little piece of home in the form of a meal made from scratch. When my bestie Darrell first tapped me to guest chef at the Austin Street Center here in Dallas, I was very nervous, because I had never cooked for such a large amount of people (FOUR HUNDRED). However with his encouragement, the assistance of my good friend @supreme.melanin.queen and the help of about 10-15 volunteers, we got it done! All of our hard work was worth it, because we were paid back with smiles, thank you’s, excited eyes👀😋, and “🗣️Alright nahs!” It was great to see empty trays returned (especially from the nanas, pops, and “cousins” lol) and it feels even better to know we’re coming back. I wouldn’t trade that feeling for the world!!! 🥹😭💕

Please go check out Austin Street Center if you ever get the chance. They are running a lovely program and have some amazing staff and residents. They can always use an extra set of hands. taken in Austin Street Center by @stonichilds

For everyone else, today is Valentines Day, but in my family, it has always meant a little bit more. 4️⃣0️⃣ years ago, my parents decided to solidify their love in front of God, family, and friends. They have been an example of black excellence, generational wealth, and the epitome of “ride or die”. 6 kids, 12 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren later….it’s such a blessing to say that they truly have stood the test of time and girl can only hope to say the same one day. Y’all help me in wishing my parents a HAPPY FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY! 💕🎉🎉🎉🎉 by @stonichilds

Whew…I’m 3️⃣2️⃣!!! (as of 12/11)
Feeling so blessed to have made it to another year! I want to thank everyone who called, texted, posted, etc as well as those who physically came to celebrate me. Anyone who knows me knows I don’t ask for much…I’m not big on gifts, but I love to EXPERIENCE and share my life with others. Spending time surrounded by those who love me is always the best birthday gift I could ask for. Thank you!!!! And happy birthday to everyone in the BEST GANG ♐️🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳💕 taken in Dallas, Texas by @stonichilds
