What a beautiful birthmonth celebration I had. From the big moments to the small moments. To those caught on film to those no one will ever know but me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who celebrated with me, text, called, social media post, gave me gifts and just put a smile on my face. I love you wildly! And Im truly thankful for you!🩷🙏🏾🩷

Last night, we celebrated Extraordinary Women Making History in the city of Houston with a fabulous gala put on by the @shesaidfoundation . It was a remarkable evening underscoring the achievements of women who lead with intention. The fun, the fashion, the friends (and, of course, the afterparty 🥂) were just icing on the cake✨

Congratulations @latoshianorwood on a vision well executed.

While I was watching the Indians pass, a man told me, “Let me take you somewhere better than this.”

What’s better than this?
We got culture. We got music . We got feathers . We got Troy frying fish. We got Kenneth on the mic. We got the Mayor of Central City.
Ain’t no place better than uptown on Super Sunday

Super Sunday in New Orleans is one of my favorite traditions— and if you’ve never experienced it, it’s something special. One year, I cried full tears because I missed my flight to come…then called my therapist because I’m in a codependent relationship with NOLA. But I digress.

About a month after Mardi Gras, the Mardi Gras Indians gather again and “run it back.” Different tribes come out in full regalia— suits that take an entire year to hand sew — representing their neighborhoods, their families, and a history that goes back generations. The streets fill with second line bands, music, food, and people from every walk of life just vibing together.

What many people don’t realize is that the Mardi Gras Indian tradition is rooted in honoring the Native Americans who helped enslaved Africans escape and survive centuries ago. What we see today— the feathers, the beadwork, the chants, the gatherings— is culture, resistance, pride, and artistry all woven together.

New Orleans gets labeled a lot of things by people who’ve never truly experienced it. But for those who understand it, the city is something else entirely.

There’s a spirit there that’s hard to explain.
Music in the streets.
Food on every corner.
Family, laughter, and rhythm everywhere you turn.

And somehow, every time I go, whatever heaviness I’ve been carrying lifts a little — sometimes a lot. The city has a way of reminding you how to live again.

Grateful to experience the culture, the history, and the love that New Orleans continues to share with the world.

Grateful for my NOLA family through my best girlfriend Jenny Jenn Jenn… grateful for my krewe in town for the weekend — James and Jaleesa… and grateful for my Uncle Rudy and every cousin that’s adopted me along the way…and my college nieces.

I love y’all 🤍

Super Sunday… until next year.

PS: I finally got my lick back from Mardi Gras… because this time I was OUTSIDE outside for Super Sunday!!

BLACK HISTORY MONTH | FEB 2026

From political fundraisers (big up to Jasmine Crockett) to Mardi Gras to a fireside chat with Dr. Ruth Simmons to BBQ Cookoff, this has been a month of celebrating black excellence! And the celebration doesn’t stop there as black history is American history and I will be celebrating all year!

Mardi Gras was over a week ago and I’m still tired like I personally pulled every float down St. Charles.

I lost my voice… and apparently my mind, because I’m ready to do it all over again

Big thank you to Uncle @bowtie504 / @ogbowtie504 and the Krewe for the ultimate turn up.

See yall in 347 days 1 hour 5 minutes and 28 seconds
💜💚💛
