💕 September was filled with so many family moments that made my heart full. From grandparents day at school, to making grand adventures of mundane tasks like grocery shopping, our little crew made magic every step of the way.💕

The “Ber” months are my favorite, so I plan to carry that joy with me all the way through.

The 4th annual CWC Christmas party is a wrap!

From being married for 4 months to 4 years to 46 years, we all gathered and laughed and cried and had THE best time as usual. Steve and I are thankful for our tribe. 💕

This summer was spent
☀️ Soaking up the sun
✈️ Taking trips to magical places
👨‍👩‍👧 Kicking it with family
🌊 Frolicking in the water
🍦 Eating popsicles on the porch

And creating a lifetime worth of memories in just three short months. We had a summer to remember. Now bring on Fall!

Saying goodbye to the house that raised us was bittersweet. I’ll admit that visiting the house without Grandma and Mom hasn’t been easy for me. But I’m grateful for all of the beautiful memories.

It was also so nice to hear about the different stories and memories dating back to the 1960s! My dad and uncles definitely got into a lot more trouble than their kids ever did 😅. Yet one thing is true for each generation touched by this home: It was a reflection of community, support, and love.

As Grandma Eula would say, “Onward and upward.” ♥️

An ode to the home that helped raise me.

Although we will no longer dwell within these four walls, the love, laughter, and memories will live within us forever.

Hi friends! If you’re looking for an educational experience that cultivates Black joy and enriches family gatherings, then you must check out my lovely cousin @ceemarie54 Dr. Crystal Menzies’ EmancipatED Experience Kit. She is the founder of @emancipate_ed! EmancipatED aims to shift paradigms of possibility and encourage togetherness for Black families and kinship networks through educational tools and resources, learning experiences, and community gatherings. Their vision is to use our history of resistance, joy, and innovation to reimagine what is possible for Black families.

I also want to wish Crystal happy birthday! The family is so proud of you. We love you ♥️

Happy birthday to this guy. The one who taught me how to shoot the rock, how to tell a bad joke lol, and never backed down from a ride on one of the mountains (even if it made him sick) 😂 I love you to the moon and back Daddio!
