October 10th, 2026, at 5:07 a.m., I lost my grandmother, Maria Celeste. 💔🕊️

Grandma Celeste was my heart, my protector, and our family’s rock. She was an immigrant from Cape Verde who made strides and brought her family to America. She married Francisco Ramirez and had my father, Cyrus Ramirez, who married my mother, Carla Anderson, and created me & my siblings.

I don’t know where I would be without the love of my grandmother. Her love shaped me, comforted me, protected me, guided me, strengthened me, and graced me.

I would not be the woman I am today without her love, strength, power, and spicy, vivacious, fun, joyful personality. She was smart, witty, strong, confident, gorgeous, and loyal. If I thought of anyone who loved me, it was her.

She introduced me to my family’s culture, our food, and who we are. She always felt like home.

I just can’t believe she’s gone. It’s surreal. I can’t wrap my mind around life without her. I still hear her innocent, funny voice and remember how off the chain she was. If I had an issue and brought it to my grandma, baby, I knew it was gonna get handled!

She fought a long fight. Her cancer was terminal for three years, and even when she was placed on life support earlier this week, she fought. She was a fighter, the strongest person I know.

I love my grandmother so much, and I dedicate my life to not only Christ, but her. She wanted me to be happy, have joy, and be successful. I vow that the life I design going forward will honor her.

I love her. I’m gonna miss her. I am hurt, upset, and heartbroken. But life will be colorful because of her love. I will keep her life, joy, and memories near me, and I promise my life will be better for it.

I love you so much, Grandmother. I miss you so much. I pray God has welcomed you into His arms and that you are at peace.

Forever Maria Celeste Almeida. ❤️🕊️

SHOULD I RELEASE THIS TRACK?

I wrote a new song. As always, unsure what to name it🤔

It feels cliche to say “pressure makes diamonds” but I feel like that’s what my reflections on life experiences feel like when channeled through honest, vulnerable lyrics..

Here’s the lyrics cuz I don’t think yall ever really hear me doe🫣:

“Livin visions on the scene
With my dreams real
Got me feelin so alive
But my beats kill

I been plotting for a minute
All about mines
Wanna be millionaire
Need a lifeline

How this music make you feel
Issa slow burn
I got lessons for the haters
But they don’t learn

I got questions for greatest
But it’s my turn
I been manifesting greatness
As the world turns

I just wanna tell my story
wanna reach hearts
Somewhere writing in the booth
While I recharge

Gotta work past the fear
Gotta push through
Gotta uppercut the doubts
Get to round 2

Only thing hold you back is ya confidence
In just here to tell you facts yea it’s common sense

Time to channel all your thoughts
Time to elevate
You can conquer anything
If you meditate

Tell me where you see yourself
Tell me what’s the goal
Searchin deep inside yaself
Reaching for you soul

Keep your head to the sun
Only way to grow
Just be honest to yourself
let your inner glow

Some weekends become memories you’ll carry forever 🇨🇻❤️

These past few days reminded me what it means to belong to a people whose strength, warmth, and pride can be felt anywhere in the world. After seven years of living in Miami, seeing our community come together like this filled my heart in a way that’s hard to describe.

I met Cabo Verdianos who have called Miami home for years, reconnected with friends and family, made new friendships, and shared moments I’ll never forget. Football brought us together, but what we celebrated was so much bigger than the game.

We’re a small nation of islands, yet somehow we’ve captured the attention and respect of the world. Watching our flag fly, hearing our language, and feeling that unity reminded me just how proud I am of where I come from.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, celebrated with us, and helped create such an unforgettable weekend.

I’ll continue doing my part to bring our people together here in Miami through culture, music, community, and love. Big shoutout to @lisa__lopes @sociablekid @deejay_ec_ @thesishotelmiami
