The return of Firebird was a beautiful masterpiece that we will never forget. Dance Theater of Harlem, you left our little Jones Haywood ballerinas mesmerized to see themselves in this incredible production. My heart is full from the many ways community came together (and thank you to my amazing sister-friend, @lamekak ) to ensure this work could return to the perfect backdrop of DC’s National Theater for a limited run. #blackballerinas #dancetheaterofharlem #returnoffirebird #washingtonperformingarts

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the annual Dynamo Summer Summit on Martha’s Vineyard! 👏🏻✨

Over a packed few days, we heard from leaders across energy, technology, infrastructure, and capital, whose insights reflected both the scale of the challenges ahead and the opportunities to solve them. Across each discussion, it became clear that building the future of energy will require unprecedented collaboration across the sector.

Convening the right people has never been more important, and that’s exactly what we strive to foster at Dynamo: a space where connections are made and deals get done. By bringing together the key players shaping energy’s next chapter, we aim to accelerate the partnerships that move the industry forward.

This year’s Summit was a powerful example of that vision in action. Thank you to our incredible event partners Google, Microsoft, HSBC Innovation Banking, AXA XL, Octopus Energy, Activate Capital, S2G Investments, Allianz, Siemens Energy, Mintz, CSC Leasing, Alvarez & Marsal, and Parity, Inc., as well as our outstanding speakers, attendees, and our talented MC, Jade Floyd.

And finally, thank you to the Dynamo network for making these conversations and connections possible

Last night, I was incredibly honored to be recognized as one of the inaugural 50 Women to KNOW in Washington, D.C. Awards Gala. What a privilege to stand alongside so many powerful and inspiring women making an impact throughout our city.

The highlight of the evening was having my sons there to witness it all. To them, I’m Mom, but it was important for them to see how I show up professionally, lead with purpose, and build a legacy. Our children learn not only from what we tell them, but from what we show them.

Thank you to my amazing husband, Darren, my mom, my little brother, my bestie who flew in just for the occasion, and all of my incredible friends who cheered me on every step of the way. Your love and support mean everything.

A special thank you to Joey Severin of Mortgage and Evelyn Miller of Smart Settlements for your unwavering support and partnership.

Congratulations to all of the phenomenal women honored last night, and thank you to KNOW Women, an organization dedicated to elevating and celebrating women leaders, for a spectacular event.

Grateful. Honored. Inspired. 🙏🏽❤️

Every year I walk into that room thinking I’m there to talk about storytelling, and every year the students at GW remind me that stories are not taught so much as awakened. They arrive with that rare combustible mix of youth and rigor: quick minds, sharp instincts, an intellect that doesn’t just analyze but intuits, leaps, challenges, and sees around corners. What surprises me is never merely how smart they are, though they are formidably smart; it’s how alive they are to meaning, how unembarrassed they are by curiosity, how willing they are to wrestle with ambiguity until it yields something honest. They don’t just hear stories. They interrogate them, inhabit them, and occasionally improve them. To stand before them each year is to be reminded that intelligence, at its best, is not cold machinery but a living flame: precise, restless, and luminous.

This has been a week of powerful wins… and we’re making history right on time for Women’s History Month.

For years she has been one of my biggest cheerleaders. Now it’s my turn to cheer for her!

My incredible girlfriend, Jade Floyd, is officially a published author. Her new book, The Leadership Labyrinth: Women Navigating Power and Purpose in a Changing World, comes out April 7, and I could not be more proud.

This book dives into the real journey of leadership for women… not a straight ladder to success, but a winding path that requires courage, resilience, reinvention, and purpose. Through powerful stories and practical insights, Jade explores how women navigate ambition, influence, and authenticity while leading in spaces that weren’t always built for them.

Watching her pour her heart into this project has been inspiring, and seeing it finally come to life is something truly special.

Take a moment to watch this clip… and if you believe in strong women, bold leadership, and rewriting the rules, go support her.

Pre-order your copy now on Amazon.
The book officially releases April 7.
