Everything is digital now… but do we actually own any of it? 💭📚💿

Books are on Kindles, music is on streaming apps, and movies are on platforms. It’s convenient, but we’re also watching things get edited, removed, rewritten, and sometimes completely erased right before our eyes.

It really made me think about the importance of owning physical copies again. The actual book. The CD. The DVD. Something that can’t disappear because a subscription ended or a platform decided to remove it.

So I took a trip to the thrift store and baby… I hit the jackpot 😂🙌🏾 Books were only $2–$5, CDs started at $1, and I spent about $35 TOTAL.

In a world where everything can disappear with one click, there’s something powerful about actually owning a piece of our history, culture, and art.

Maybe going “backwards” isn’t backwards at all… maybe it’s preservation. ✨

Own something they can’t delete. 📚💿📀

I’m on a TRY NEW THINGS type of time lately! ✨
Stepping outside of my comfort zone, doing things that intimidate me a little, and just EXPERIENCING life.

Today’s adventure: LAGREE! And noooo, not Pilates 😂 Pilates focuses more on core, control & mobility, while Lagree gives strength, endurance, intensity & SHAKEEE with slow movements under constant tension. 😮‍💨

And of course, I had to find a Black-owned studio to try! Owned by @mylipstickdiary 🖤

📍 BODICORE | Lagree Fitness Studio @bodicorefitness
4136 E. Joppa Rd., Suite J
Nottingham, MD 21236 (Perry Hall area)

I’m not gonna lie, your girl was INTIMIDATED by that machine 😂 but my instructor Ava @ava.fotopoulos gave me a quick rundown and made me feel super comfortable… before proceeding to BURY ME. 😭😂 The energy was welcoming, the class was beginner-friendly, and before I knew it, I was catching on…and SHAKINGGGG!

Just another reminder to get outside of your comfort zone. Try the class. Be a beginner. Laugh, shake, have FUN. Life is already life-ing enough… we might as well enjoy it while we’re here! 🫶🏾

If you’re in the Baltimore/DMV area, definitely give BODICORE a try!

New experience unlocked 🔓✨ Muscles? DONE. 😂

We love our people!!! And if you love our people, you show it!! Me and my brothers of the Baltimore Rites of Passage Initiative Collective (BROPI) LOVE our people and ain’t afraid to show it!

We are honored to show our love by working with young black men and boys in transformative rites of passage and cultural experiences… you see here’s the secret: you can’t love our people if you don’t love your self! That’s why the foundation of our experiences are working with young brothers to ensure they love themselves first and foremost, love being Africa descended and ultimately see themselves in every other Black man they meet.

Now here is where you come in: this work is incredibly spiritual, but also incredibly challenging, as well as resource intensive and we need you!

if you, too, love our people, we would be honored to have your support in whatever denomination you feel inspired to give as we participate as part of the 2026 citywide CLLCTIVGive effort Powered by @cllctivly, where literally hundreds of black-led, Black-founded and Black-focused organizations in Baltimore City join together to raise $2 million in support of our work! GIVE NOW THRU AUGUST 7!!!

Harambee! ✊🏾✊🏾

PS - this is also a righteous competition among brothers so please contribute so I don’t lose 😂

Comfort food done right, the #cherrystreetway

On the stove today: Cherry Street’s Salisbury Steak with creamy mashed potatoes, rich mushroom gravy, and crispy shallots finished with a little magic from Papi’s Cuisine, using their fig balsamic and the cajun deluxe breading for that extra flavor hit.

Big love to Alex @chefalexperez_ , owner of Papi cuisine, for collaborating with me on this one. When community and good ingredients come together, beautiful things happen.

This is the kind of dish that’ll make Cherry Street feel like home. 🏠🍒
