TESTIMONIAL TUESDAYS 🗣️🎬

As summer officially comes to a close and our children settle into a FRESH new school year and season, we can’t help but reminisce on the LOVE, IMPACT & COMMUNITY that made this summer so meaningful. 🥹🍎📚✨

What better way to reflect on “Mama’s Baby & Poppa’s Baby TOO Day” than through the voices of the people who helped make it happen?!💯

Our 5th Annual Back to School Giveaway / Field Day was truly a FAMILY affair! From setting up and serving food to facilitating games, distributing supplies, supporting our children and simply stepping in wherever needed—our FAMILY volunteers brought the ENERGY🤝🏽🎒🏀❤️

These testimonials remind us that community impact isn’t created by ONE person—it happens when a village decides to SHOW UP, SERVE & POUR BACK INTO THE NEXT GENERATION.

As we transition from summer memories into new classrooms, new goals, new opportunities and a FRESH season, we pray that the love poured into our children that day follows them throughout this entire school year. 🙏🏽📚❤️

To our family and volunteers: @live_50y @favoredbygod08 @golden_heart_49 @shes.conceiteddd_ @ernest031066 @playyourcardsright_ THANK YOU for lending your hands, hearts, time and talents to the vision.🫶🏽 The event may have ended, but the IMPACT continues!

🎬❤️ THE OFFICIAL RECAP IS HERE! ❤️🎬 Cc: @duturee THE SHOOTER📸🎥📹🎞️

What happens when FAMILY, PURPOSE, LOVE & COMMUNITY come together? THIS. 🥹🙌🏽

Take a look back at “Mama’s Baby & Poppa’s Baby TOO DAY” — our Mother & Daughter-powered Back to School Giveaway & Field Day, led by “Love Thy Neighbor NY” in collaboration with Play Your Cards Right LLC! @playyourcardsright_ 🎒🏀☀️

This day represented so much more than giving away bookbags and school supplies. It was about pouring into our children, bringing families together, creating memories and showing the next generation what COMMUNITY looks like in ACTION. ❤️

From the FOOD and MUSIC powered by: @deejaydolla & @djcookcity, to the GAMES, DANCING, FACE PAINTING, BOUNCEY HOUSE & CHARACTER @blueballoonparties , volunteers, sponsors and families who showed UP and showed OUT — the LOVE was undeniable! 🙏🏽

As a Mother & Daughter duo, this work is especially meaningful because it represents LEGACY in motion. What was poured into us by the generations before us, we now have the responsibility to pour into the generations coming behind us. 🌱➡️🔥

A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, sponsored, participated or contributed their gifts and talents to make this day possible. THIS is what happens when we put the UNITY in COMMUNITY! 🤝🏽❤️

🎥 Special thank you to @duturee for capturing the energy, joy and impact of the day through this beautiful recap! & @playyourcardsright_ 🙋🏽‍♀️ for the creative direction, editing and VISION👀📲

Mama’s Baby & Poppa’s Baby TOO DAY 🎒❤️

12 years ago today, approximately 4:59 AM, I gave birth to Elana Angel Lowe👼🏽… MY LIFE, MY LOVE, MY HEART , MY SOUL 🤍

Baby, you changed my life in the most beautiful way. Being your mother is not just a title—it’s an honor, a blessing, a purpose. It’s powerful, it’s unwavering, it’s incomparable. And through you, I truly learned the meaning of unconditional love🫶🏽

Watching you grow into the young lady you are becoming fills me with so much pride. This next chapter is going to stretch both of us—deeper in faith for me, and higher in purpose for you. You are blossoming into a beautiful, classy, demure, talented, educated young woman… a leader, a role model, and a force in your own right💕

I’m so proud of the big sister you are and the daughter you continue to be. And yes, Mommy may be hard on you—but it’s only because I see the greatness in you so clearly. I want more for you. I want better for your future. I want you to break through generations of oppression and step boldly into everything God has for you 🛐

Everything I do for you comes from the DEPTH place in my heart and soul🫀

These moments from your “12th Skate Glow Party” meant everything to me. To our family and friends who showed up and showed OUT—thank you. The love you poured into my daughter reassures me every time that the love for me and your father is oh so real. And that means more than words can express. 🫶🏽🎉🎂🎊🥳😘🛼

I pray God continues to cover you, protect you, and guide every step you take. And I pray I am here to witness every milestone your life will bring.
Cheers to your last year of being a preteen. 🥹✨
Mommy loves you endlessly. ♾️💕🙏🏽🏆

✨EP 8 THROWBACK: Queens Roundtable 👑🎙️

For those of you who are new here, allow me to reintroduce myself 🙌🏽🗣️🔊📚🎙️✍🏽🫀

By day, I serve as a Chronic Disease Management Health Coach & Palliative Care Navigator — but my heart has always been rooted in creation, storytelling, and impact. From writing and recording music, to self-publishing my children’s book Mama’s Baby & Poppa’s Baby Too, inspired by my family of five, every lane I walk is intentional.

This season, one word continues to shape me: GRACE✨

Through the opportunity to mentor young queens in the GRACE Cohort with Young Women of Excellence, I’ve witnessed transformation in real time. Together, we explored what it means to embody:
✨ Gratitude
✨ Respect
✨ Accountability
✨ Care
✨ Excellence

And while teaching, I was reminded that growth is reciprocal — the lessons poured back into me.
Spiritually, grace is a daily gift from God — unconditional, unwavering, and undeserved at times. Yet as humans, we often struggle to extend that same grace to one another… and to ourselves.

So this throwback is a reminder:
Give grace.
Receive grace.
Walk in grace.
Grow through grace.
Because healing, leadership, motherhood, creativity, and purpose all require it.

💬 What does GRACE look like in your life right now?

🔥 CLIP ALERT: THE BARBERSHOP CONFESSIONAL 🔥

🎙️ EP 18: “Bros Redefining Opportunity”
“The barbershop is the safest… but sometimes the most toxic environment.” as per Executive Director of @thebroexperiencefoundation Cc: @coachcoop_ 💈🗣️🔊

Coach Coop keeps it REAL about the barbershop being:
💈 A classroom
💈 A therapy session
💈 A brotherhood space
💈 And sometimes… an ego-driven echo chamber

From watching every type of Black man sit in the chair as a child to opening his own barbershop at just 22, barbering became more than a skill — it became a front-row seat into the lives, trauma, wisdom, and survival stories of Black men.

This clip dives into:
🗣️ The conversations that shape masculinity
🧠 Why barbershops can be healing and harmful
👀 Learning from observation before understanding
💪 Turning a trade into purpose and community impact

Sometimes the chair isn’t just about a haircut… it’s about identity, guidance, and navigating manhood with the tools you have.

Founder of The B.R.O. Experience Foundation — building the safe spaces many men needed growing up.

Drop a 💈 if the barbershop shaped your perspective growing up.

🚨 CLIP ALERT: THE LITTLE BOY STILL LISTENS
🎙️ EP 18: “Bros Redefining Opportunity”🖤

“I’m proud to say me and my dad have a great relationship now… but when he says, ‘Son, you’re amazing’ at 43… it still hits the little boy in me who needed to hear that at 9.” Cc: @coachcoop_ 🎙️

Coach Coop opens up about fatherhood, forgiveness, and how delayed affirmation still carries power.

From:
🏙️ Growing up in Bed-Stuy🧱
💈 The barbershop being his first “playground”
🎓 Studying educational psychology!
🏫 Becoming Dean at an all-boys school at Eagles Academy!
⚖️ Working with the Department of Probation!

Every chapter shaped his empathy for Black boys who just want to be seen, heard, and nurtured.
Sometimes the men we become are healing the boys we once were.

This clip is about:
• Rewriting father-son narratives
• Giving grace to our parents
• Turning pain into purpose
• Creating the spaces we didn’t have

Founder of The B.R.O. Experience Foundation — @thebroexperiencefoundation and proof that healing doesn’t erase the chill… it deepens it.

🚨 NEW CAPTION ALERT 🚨

🎙️ EP 18: “Bros Redefining Opportunity” is not just a conversation… it’s a breakthrough. Cc: @thebroexperiencefoundation 🖤✔️

“As I got older and started doing self-work, I realized my dad was only raising me with the tools he had. That realization gave me grace.”

Coach Coop @coachcoop_ opens up about growing up in Bed-Stuy, navigating the heartbeat of Brooklyn, being raised by a strict Black father, and carrying silent anger that shaped his early interactions. But here’s the shift — self-work changed the narrative.

What once felt like rejection became understanding. What once felt like tension became grace.

This episode dives into:
🖤 Fatherhood & forgiveness
🧠 Mental health & emotional regulation
🏙️ Street survival vs. structured discipline
👑 Turning grit into leadership
💬 Healing the inner child to redefine opportunity

From Bedford-Stuyvesant to building The B.R.O. Experience Foundation, this is what growth looks like in real time.

Sometimes healing isn’t about blaming.
It’s about understanding.
Drop a 💜 if you’ve ever had to give your parents grace as an adult.
