AUGUST RECAP -
What a month August was. It had my birthday, lots of new adventures and it marked my one year anniversary of my new career as a financial professional. I also had my most successful month so far😏 🙌🏾
.
I’m so very grateful for all of the dope people I get to work with, build with and create with.
I am most grateful for my tribe. I am looking forward to another awesome month in September.

Five years ago TODAY, I said no to playing it safe, I took a leap of faith and signed my contract with New York Life.

I bet on myself.
On the late nights.
On the vision no one else could fully see yet.
On the belief that purpose and passion could build something meaningful.

Today, just shy of a month after the public launch of Castleview Wealth the timing feels pretty surreal. What started as a fleeting thought became a room full of love, legacy, community, and alignment. 🏰✨

To every client, mentor, friend, family member, colleague, and supporter who has poured into me along this journey — thank you. Every lesson, every setback, every win helped build this castle brick by brick.

This is year 5. The goals just get bigger and better from here on out. #waitforit

The gates are open.
And we’re just getting started.

From our castle to yours 🏰

CASTLEVIEW WEALTH LAUNCH PARTY 🏰 🎊🎉
.
So proud of my friend and mentor @jesatthecastle for founding Castleview Wealth and I am proud to be one of the “Architects of the Realm”
.
At Castleview Wealth, we help families and business owners build financial fortresses — structured strategies designed to protect what matters most while creating confidence for the future.
Whether your priority is protecting your family, positioning retirement income, strengthening your business, or creating generational wealth, clarity and preparation are essential.
.
Finance is a field that minorities and women are underrepresented and what Jess is building is truly something special. My pivot into this industry wouldn’t have been possible without her. I am a truly honored to be a part of it and super excited to be able to build a business with my brother in law @paulgause_ and my friend @iamdesaree
.
Also glad to be able to get out the house and have fun with my beautiful fiancée @lanomrah

I am always down for a COMPLETELY vegan restaurant because I am finally able to eat all the crema I want 🤭 PERIODT

For all my raw vegans 👀 idk if you will enjoy all the chorizo subs BUT for all my new vegans; definitely try this one out!

The drinks were BOMB and the happy hour menu was beyond decent.

.
Wifey I love you! To my Friends and Fam, thank y'all for putting up with all my shenanigans. Last but not least to Ms Jackson, thank you for going above and beyond and putting on an amazing concert!!!

Many people may not know that directing is my 1st love. Directing is different than shooting and editing. All 3 are things that I am capable of and do frequently however the experience of working collaboratively with a crew to achieve a vision is still one of my favorite things. This was a great time
.
I wanted to shoutout @tx_reign and @iamsahmo for rocking with me and trusting me to help them achieve their vision.
It was such a dope opportunity to work alongside the legend @robbielive215 who shot and edited all the videos we did. Robbie makes magic.
.
@gedgata came through super prepared and was such a dope team player. Despite it being a small set and crew he was more than professional and did everything we asked of him.
.
All the bts photos you see were taken by the extremely talented @namaste_jessie who added so much to the set with her eye.
.
I’m happy to have been a part of the team and if you haven’t had a chance go check out @tx_reign ft @gedgata new video. It’s out and it’s 🔥
