Daraja’s 2026 Illuminate Gala ✨💛

If you haven’t heard of @darajaacademy, you need to.

Six wonderful years as auctioneer for this extraordinary organization, and while I love SO many of my incredible nonprofit clients, Daraja holds an extra special place in my heart. 💛

Daraja is a boarding high school in Kenya for girls who have faced unfathomable traumas and hardship and are deeply dedicated to receiving an education and changing the course of their lives. Beyond a safe, healthy home and an exceptional academic education, Daraja provides counseling to help students work through their trauma AND offers its remarkable W.I.S.H. Program (Women of Integrity, Strength and Hope) which helps girls recognize their inner power, understand their value, and become leaders that make a real difference in the world — and they do!! Daraja is amazing. The Daraja girls are even more amazing.

Over $600,000 raised with 140 guests in attendance 🙏🏽 ✨ $36,000 brought in with our very first live auction item ✨ A $60,000 gift to kick off our Fund-A-Girl paddle raise ✨ 5 gifts at our $25,000 level (yes, I got emotional 😭) ✨ 20 gifts at our $3,000 level — each funding one year of a Daraja education for one girl ✨ 64 gifts at our final $250 level

I love this team. I love this community. I love this org. What a privilege to help raise these life-changing funds year after year for the remarkable Daraja girls 🫶🏽. I look forward to visiting them in Kenya and joining the board one day. ♥️ I LOVE YOU, DARAJA!! Congratulations!! 💛💛💛

Am I Wrong?🤔
Is it all a dream...

whipped up January➡️June 2026 eye*ReMiniscE reeL while reflecting on the beautiful moments that made the 1st half of this year unforgettable💎 & I hope U all take a moment 2 soak it all in & do the same, my good friends & family.😌

“Life moves fast pretty fast. If you don’t stop & look around once awhile you could miss it.” ~ Ferris Bueller

Almost 20 years of DJing & I still can’t believe the blessings that continue 2 fall from the tree of life when you devote yourself 2 a greater cause- bringing joy & spreading love thru music.🔊🎶❤️

Yes, there is chaos in the world. But our mission
begins exactly where we stand—with the people
in our immediate environment.🌍

Never underestimate the impact U can have.
The gifts the Universe has given each of us are
meant 2 be shared.

This REEL is 4 my REAL ONES☝🏾
who understand what I’m talking about✊🏾

As I scroll through my feed
& see everyone’s
excellence, it reminds me
there is still so much
hope in this world.🦋

So here I am sharing...not just the gigs, but the
times with family, friends, quiet joys,& the lil’things
that make life truly fulfilling.

These moments together are my actual proof that
there is still beauty, joy, happiness, connection,
& hope in this world.💎

None of this happens alone. To every client who entrusted me with your celebrations- to every artist, musician, event producers, creatives, venues, & vendors l’ve had the honor of collaborating with
& to my family & friends who continue 2 love,
support, encourage, & believe in me- THANK U💝
Every smile, every dance floor, every photo, every conversation, & every opportunity is something we created together on this journey.✨🚀

We still have about 6️⃣months left in this year. 🙌🏾

Let’s make them count.
Let’s make the impossible…POSSIBLE!

Much gratitude 4 taking a moment 2 watch
& share these memories with me.

MUCH LOVE💗
MANY BLESSINGS🌸
BIG HUGS🤗
WE GOT THIS👊🏾

My good family & friends
KEEP SHINING☀️

✌🏾2️⃣ graduations. ✨🎉🎓🎉🎓🎉✨
☝🏾1️⃣ extraordinary young man. ✨👑✨

We are still basking in the blessings & are celebrating KHALIL’s incredible achievement 🎊🙌🏾🤩🙌🏾 🎊graduating from UC San Diego and being honored through both Thurgood Marshall College and BSU.

I’ve known my stepson Khalil since he was 5 years old, and it has been one of life’s greatest joys to witness the amazing human being he has blossomed into.😌
~ ~ ~
💫 Khalil, you bring so much joy into every space you grace. Your presence, kindness, and spirit have a way
of making people smile. You are filled with wisdom, perseverance, determination, and a quiet strength that inspires everyone around you.

This accomplishment did not happen by chance.
It is the result of years of hard work, dedication,
and believing in yourself even when the journey
was challenging.

We are beyond proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Take this moment in. Celebrate it.
Soak it all in. You earned every bit of it.✊🏾✨

We can’t wait to see where your path leads next.
The future is bright, and this is only the beginning.🦋

Congratulations, Khalil. 🎉✨
We love you so much. ❤️🎓✨

Hi youth + community!!! 👋🏽👋🏾👋🏿 Dream Youth Clinic hosted the DREAM BIG: Getting to Zero YOUTH HIV Community Fair and the love was REAL 💫
We came together in community to celebrate education, autonomy, wellness, and the power of young people showing up for each other. From HIV testing and health resources to henna, waist bead making, live screen printing, and amazing community partners tabling all day — the energy was unmatched.
And to top it all off, Oakland’s very own Kamaiyah brought the house down with an unforgettable performance 🔥
Thank you to every young person, community partner, volunteer, and local business that helped make this event so impactful. This is what community care looks like ❤️‍🔥

Hi youth + community! 👋🏼👋🏾👋🏿 We are still absolutely beaming from Black Maternal Health Week 2026: Young Black Moms to the FRONT! This beautiful week of programming and events for our young Black mamas was closed out with a huge community fair where we got to show up and show out for our young Black moms! We sang, we danced, we ate; we came together and celebrated the beauty that is Black motherhood. 🎉 HUGE shoutout to our community who celebrated and supported us with this monumental celebration.

It’s not just a moment; it’s a MOVEMENT. Our young Black moms have entered the chat! And they are here to STAY! 👏🏾🌟💕🫂

deeply grateful for the opportunity to be back at
Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Evening of Wishes Gala
for a second year to DJ & drop gemz at their
✨☁️“Cloud Nine After Party” ☁️✨
✨☁️✨💃🏻🔊🎶❤️🪩💎🕺🏾✨☁️✨

The theme this year was
“A World of Wishes” 💫🌍💫 …
paying tribute to the allure of international travel ✈️✨
& the incredible trips that lifts wish kids & their families
beyond the day‑to‑day realities of medical care &
expand their hearts and horizons — offering
moments of joy, adventure, and freedom. 💫

Hosted at the iconic Palace Hotel, this beautiful
evening created a space filled with good times,
love, wonder, connection, generosity and purpose
— a true reminder of what it means to create value through community.💕

These are the events I pray to be a part of…
where music becomes a bridge for joy, healing,
and celebration 💖🎧💖
