TWO WEEKS IN AND THIS DREAM TEAM IS JUST GETTING WARMED UP! 💥🔥 @hooligan.chicago 

As seen in today’s @chicagotribune! Thank you to @louisachu1 for your time and energy on this feature (link in bio). 

“The meaning behind Hooligan touches on a few things. It speaks to a bit of my own professional career in which I’m a kid from the South. Specifically Kentucky and Tennessee. There weren’t a lot of African American chefs in my time coming up. I was always kind of feeling like a hooligan, like an outcast.” SO Proud of what this team is pouring their hearts into each and every night in Logan Square. Way to show up, Chicago! 

Congratulations to @chefchristianhunter @tredicjr @marcusbrewer80 @sirofwells and the entire @hooligan.chicago crew on a stellar launch month, you’re on fire!

TWO WEEKS IN. AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED. 🥂

Chicago, the love has been incredible.

Two weeks into opening Hooligan, and the response has been nothing short of amazing. From the kitchen to the bar, every detail has been intentional.

Proud to be building something special alongside Chef Christian Hunter, bringing his vision to life through an incredible culinary experience while creating a beverage program that stands on its own.

French technique. Midwest soul. Thoughtful cocktails. No shortcuts.

Seeing people connect with the food, embrace the cocktails, and genuinely enjoy what we’ve created is what makes all the long hours worth it.

A huge thank you to everyone who’s walked through our doors, shown love, and supported the vision. And a special thank you to the Chicago Tribune for the recognition.

HOOLIGAN. LOGAN SQUARE. CHICAGO.

The best is yet to come. 🥃

Growing up, I remember thinking my Grandma had a straight shot to Heaven…that her prayers went from her lips straight to Gods ears. It was the way she prayed & how often she prayed, that made me believe God was especially sensitive to her calls—& He was & still is. I’m still living out her prayers over my life. She passed when I was 21 but her spirit is with me now more than ever.
.
Wisdom has taught me that it was her [relationship] with the Lord that propelled her prayers for our family to fruition & it’s been my biggest inspiration since. 
.
The unwavering faith—the surrender—the praise; all trickled into my artwork the deeper my faith grew.
.
I wish I knew then what I know now. I think about the conversations we would have now that I understand God’s grace & never ending love for us. I carry her spirit with me & was holding her hand in spirit as I was being Baptized again as an adult (First time was in Puerto Rico @ 8 months). 
.
A removal prayer dismantled anything and anyone that was holding me back & ever since I’ve been surrounded by newfound support & love. The weekend of my Baptism, I was asked for the first time to serve in the form of live painting during @lightoutsidesunday & that right there is God working in mysterious ways. Thankful & forever grateful for Him being in all the details.
.
Thankful for @nosaeguae obedience to bring this to life & @jojonieves8 for curating & making it tangible & to evvvveryone who helped FNL come to life in less than 3 weeks.125+ souls touched ❤️ @lightoutsidesunday

Excuse the double audio—I was excited to share the Good news.

Just a man and his matcha.

Big on Aesthetics.

Living integral isn’t an option anymore.

Get your reps in. Perspective is best shaped through practice instead of theory.

Open up the book. God loves you. Ephesians 2:4

Great track.

Journal from 6/2

I had to audit the sustanance and ask myself why am I still hungry? 
Surrender came shortly thereafter.. 
I tried the fill a supernatural void with worldly consumption and it left me still starving. Surrender to Christ is the only antibody to a hedonistic existence that told me at all times I need more pleasure.

Just a kid from the Agg.

I’ll wait as long as I need to for a God thing. 
Matthew 14:31

Open your best sh*t. 
Make your home an escape and invite people in it.

I just want to keep adding value and loving on people.

Baby O taught me to have fun with it.

This house of good will stand forever and when I stop to think about that it makes me smile.

I’m my grandparents wildest dream.

Build a community around the thing, put a cadence on it. Make it fun and watch good come find you.

More life. 
More time spent with the dawgs. 
More summer patios
& More vino.

He’s still working on me.

HOF First Ballot.

400’s were on the book today. 

3x(4x400 @ just faster than 5k to 1mile pace with 1min rest between each). 

Each 400 should have gotten faster in each block of 4. Example: 1:30, 1:25, 1:22, 1:20. 

Try this the next time you’re running in circles.

She’s just getting started and already surrounded by good company 🤝

Last week, we opened the doors to The Space Together for a first look. We celebrated with an evening of conversation, curiosity, and a glimpse into what this space is becoming. 

To everyone who came through - thank you. For your presence, your energy, your words, and for seeing it with us before it’s fully formed. That kind of witnessing matters more than you know. 

And to the collaborators who helped us bring this night to life - we’re so grateful to be building this alongside you.

Hard to put into words how good God has been in this season. So I’ll just keep it short. 

Thankful for community. Thankful for a band of brothers. Thankful for the church. Thankful for everything.
