Let me start by saying this… yes, I’m late. Yes, that’s my favorite pose. And YES I thank God for bringing me through. 🙏🏽 Last year was one of the hardest years of my life… BUT GOD. So many ups, so many downs and I’m still here. It’s taken me a long time to come to terms with everything I lost this year and everything I gained. I avoided making this post because I wasn’t ready to face my reality. But life goes on. I’m still in my right mind, I made it out of school, and God still favors me. Those who truly know me know that it is nothing short of a miracle that I’ve made it this far. I am so grateful. 🤍My 2025 Recap 🤍

-First, I have to thank my village.
To my family and my friends, thank you for bringing me joy, for picking me back up, for checking on me, and for loving me through it all. I wouldn’t be me without y’all. I love each and every one of you. Special shoutout to @caitlinalexisscott for hanging out with me that day💕. Shoutout to the Easter crew and our favorite movie. Shoutout to my nieces and their mommies! You both turned ONE and you are such a blessing to my life. -To my Temple family, even though our time together was short, please know how grateful I am to have met you all.
To my UArts family, thank you for taking me in my freshman year. You helped shape me into who I am today, and I’m so thankful our paths crossed in this lifetime. I wish you nothing but the best wherever life takes you. Special thanks to the world’s greatest vocal coach, @theonlystearns I love you. -To Owlcappella, I miss you alll. Thank you for letting me share my gift with you. A cappella holds such a special place in my heart, and you all made that love grow even deeper. @owlcappella
To my COC family—thank you for bringing COLOR to the stage and allowing me to be a part of it. Never stop doing what you do for our people. @templecoc -To one of my very close friends, @theeerealbryant I love you, I love you, I love you. You may not even realize it, but you carried me this year….(Continued in the comments)

Hell of a year, huh? Graduated, moved, and began trying to figure out how all of this works. Grateful to have some wonderful humans in my corner throughout all. 💛

Here’s to welcoming in a new year full of light, love, and art. Let’s go, 2026!
