SSBD 2026 was a 10/10, but the people made it 🤎✨ There’s something so special about meeting a group of people and realizing almost immediately how genuinely amazing everyone is. Every single person in this group is smart, kind, interesting, inspiring, and just so aligned in their own way. I went into this weekend excited for the festival and somehow left even more grateful for the friendships that came with it. 🥹✨ The conversations, the laughs, the dancing, the chaos, the little moments in between… all of it. Finding people you can have FUN with but also actually connect with is rare, and I’m really grateful life brought this funky crew together. 🫶 Came to SSBD with a whole group of ridiculously cool humans. 😂🤎 Smart, hilarious, kind, aligned and down for the adventure. 10/10 festival, 10/10 crew. Would absolutely do it all over again. There’s something really special about finding people you can have the absolute best time with while also feeling genuinely connected to them 🤩 Over the last six months, I’ve been lucky enough to build friendships with some genuinely amazing people, and getting to experience this festival together made me appreciate them even more. Every person in this group is smart, kind, hilarious, inspiring, and so aligned in their own way. The conversations, the dancing, the laughs, the chaos, the random little moments… all of it was 10/10. 10/10 festival. 10/10 weekend. 10/10 humans. 🥹🤎✨ There was something about this weekend that just felt so aligned — the people, the energy, the conversations, the music- all of it flowed exactly how it needed to. Being surrounded by people who feel like they’re on a similar wavelength made SSBD hit completely different. ✨🤎 Exactly the kind of energy I want more of in my life. by @tionasrichardson

My Breast Reconstruction Journey — One Week Post-Op 🎀 Surgery is behind me, but there’s still a lot of healing ahead. In this update, I’m sharing how recovery has been, a closer look at my incisions, and what’s next with my tissue expander. It feels vulnerable showing this part of myself, but I want to share the process—not just the final results. This is my body, healing in real time. 💛 One surgery closer, one day at a time. Thank you for being here as I share my story. 🫶🏽 More treatment and recovery updates to come. 🤍 This video includes healing incisions and surgical scars. #BreastReconstructionJourney #PostOpRecovery #TissueExpander #DoubleMastectomy by @tionasrichardson

My Breast Reconstruction Journey 🎀✨ From pre-op, to waking up with an expander, to watching my body change month by month…this journey has been physical, emotional, painful, exciting, and everything in between. This video is only a quick look at the transition. I have longer videos coming where I’ll share each treatment, procedure, recovery update, and the honest emotions behind it all—the good, the difficult, and the parts people don’t always talk about. After cancer, a double mastectomy, and more surgeries than I ever imagined, I’m finally getting closer to the finish line. My final reconstruction surgery is scheduled for October 2026! 🥹🙌🏽 I’m sharing this series for every woman who has gone through this, is preparing for it, or simply wants to understand what breast reconstruction can really look like. Welcome to my breast reconstruction journey. 💛 #BreastReconstructionJourney #BreastCancerSurvivor #DoubleMastectomy #TissueExpander #BreastReconstruction CancerSurvivor HealingJourney taken in San Diego, California by @tionasrichardson

This is probably one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever shared, but this is my real breast reconstruction journey—the fear, the complications, the decisions, and everything my body has endured along the way. After cancer, a double mastectomy, and multiple surgeries, I’m still learning how to feel at home in my body again. I’m nervous about what comes next, but I’m also hopeful and grateful that I’ve made it this far. 💛 I’m sharing this because healing isn’t always pretty or straightforward, and I know I’m not the only woman carrying a story like this. If my vulnerability helps even one person feel less alone, then it was worth posting. 🫶🏽 Here’s to the next chapter of my reconstruction—and hopefully finally feeling whole again. ✨ taken in San Diego, California by @tionasrichardson

✨Cosmic Braids at WHOADEGA and The Friction Studio✨ So grateful to finally share some of the photos from my Cosmic Braids shoot at @thefrictionstudio 🪐💫 A huge thank you to @thefrictionstudio @frictionsyndicate for capturing my work so beautifully and giving me photos that truly show the color, movement, detail and personality behind Cosmic Braids. Seeing my hair photographed professionally like this was such a special moment for me and for this brand. 📸✨ I loved creating these custom Cosmic Braids to coordinate with Ascension Society’s one-of-a-kind festival looks. Every braid set was designed around the colors, vibe, and personality of the outfit! I loved getting to see my hair become part of the complete look💚💗🧡 Thank you ascensionsocietyco for the creative partnership and for trusting me to create the hair for this shoot. 🫶🏽 And of course, so much love to the amazing models who brought these looks to life — you made everything look so good and gave these braids so much personality and energy. ✨ Models: @sailorveee @nick_hatton @frictionsyndicate And another huge thank you to @whoadega for giving independent artists and small businesses like ours a place to actually put our work in front of people and sell it in-store. 🫶🏽 You can shop it all right in Ocean Beach: 🪐 Cosmic Braids: @cosmicbraids111 🧵 One-of-a-kind clothing: ascensionsocietyco 🛍️ Available at: @whoadega 📸 Photography: @thefrictionstudio 👩‍❤️‍👨 Models: @sailorveee @blessed.wolf ✨ MEET THE ARTIST ✨ Hi, I’m Tiona — the hands, heart, and chaos behind Cosmic Braids 🪐💫 What started as me creating fun, colorful festival hair has turned into a whole world of handmade tie-in braids designed to help you completely transform your look without spending hours in a salon chair. I love making pieces that feel bold, playful, a little weird, and completely YOU. 🌈 Every set is handmade by me with the idea that festival hair should be easy, reusable, expressive, and just as much a part of the outfit as the clothes themselves. This photoshoot was such a special moment because it gave me the chance to actually see Cosmic Braids the way I’ve always pictured them — styled, photograp taken in San Diego, California by @tionasrichardson
