Shout out to my sister Asha on being proclaimed by the city on June 2, 2026, during Pride at New York City Hall.Asha, God has a way of realigning paths and bringing people back together in divine timing. I am so grateful for your mentorship, friendship, and sisterhood. Thank you for every piece of advice you’ve shared with me and for always pushing me to be greater than I already am. Our phone calls are always filled with love, laughter, wisdom, and empowerment, and I cherish every one of them.I am so happy and honored to call you my sister. My prayer is that we continue to grow together for many years to come. This recognition was, in my opinion, long overdue. You have been doing this work for over 20 years. I remember when you were showing up, advocating, supporting, and uplifting community long before it became popular or widely celebrated. You never did this work for applause, accolades, or recognition. You did it because you genuinely cared about people and wanted to see our community thrive.Many people may never fully understand how much you have truly trailblazed because you have always moved with humility and purpose. Your impact has touched countless lives, and this proclamation is a reflection of the seeds you have planted over the years.Thank you for allowing me to be there to witness you in all of your glory. Watching you receive such a well-deserved honor was a moment I will never forget.It was also so special to attend the first ball at City Hall and witness ballroom turn City Hall OUTTTT! To see our culture celebrated in that space was powerful. It filled my heart to be surrounded by so much love and community. I got to see members of my chosen family, my daughter TuTu, my nephews Teo and Justin, Lana Patel, Ocean 007, and so many others. Moments like that remind me why this community means so much to all of us and why the work you have done for decades is so important.I love you, Sis. Congratulations again. This honor is beyond deserved, and I couldn’t be prouder of you. ❤️🏳️‍🌈 by @tra_niana

Stinky Pop 🖤I just wanted to remind you how deeply loved and appreciated you are, especially by me. You’ve truly become somebody so special to my heart and I honestly don’t know what I would do without you sometimes. I love the way you care for me, the way you calm me down, make me laugh, listen to me, and just love me so genuinely. Being with you feels comforting and safe and that means more to me than I could ever fully explain.I adore you so much and I hope you never question that. Even on my hardest days, you somehow make life feel lighter just by being you. Thank you for being patient with me, for understanding me, and for choosing me just as much as I choose you every single day. That means more to me than you probably realize.For your birthday, I just hope you feel loved, celebrated, appreciated, and happy because you deserve every good thing life has to offer. I pray this year brings you peace, success, growth, good health, and everything your heart desires.Forever,Noodle 🍜 WISH MY MAN A HAPPY BIRTHDAY YALL 🎂 by @tra_niana

I want to start this post by saying THANK YOU to everyone who has believed in me throughout the years.To the Kiki Ballroom Scene thank you for grooming me, teaching me patience, understanding, leadership, and most importantly how to lead with compassion. You raised me from a 15-year-old girl into the woman I am today. From the first Femme Queen to walk Bizarre to the first Bangy Overall Mother thank you for pushing me into my purpose.I stepped into Ballroom in 2008, but I had been watching since 2005. That night at Jasmine Couture’s Collections Ball, my eyes lit up at the creativity and brilliance of our culture. From there, I found chosen family people who protected me, loved me, and taught me how to survive.To my mother Courtney your words, your lessons, your strength live in me forever. I love you endlessly.To ICON, to Khan, and to my forever home Miyake Mugler — thank you for shaping me. Mugler, you gave me purpose, family, and a place where I finally felt like I belonged. Leadership has been the greatest blessing of my life.To my sisters Chanel, Tamar, and Marilyn, to every parent, every leader, every sibling, , every person who ever poured into me — I love you.To my children — you are my heart. You taught me how to lead, how to love, how to care, and how to be someone. Thank you for letting me be your mother.To my Aunt Nicole — I walk forward carrying your name in every room. I miss you every single day.Thank you Ballroom. I pray I’ve made you proud.The NEW LEGENDARYCahmille 〽️iyake-〽️ugler. 💫💇🏽‍♀️: @hairbysuave / @ach_hairny 🎨: @iamthedayexperience 👗: @nativny by @tra_niana

To my husband, These past 5 years have been a journey of love, growth, and resilience. We’ve celebrated the highs, endured the lows, and through it all, we’ve chosen each other every single day. Love isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it when it’s with you. If I had the chance to live this life a million times over, I would always find my way back to you. Here’s to us, to our love, and to the beautiful story we continue to write together.9.23.20 🩵 by @tra_niana

5 Valentines Days Later,The way I feel when I am in your presence is inexplainable. We are best friends, each others biggest supporters, you can tell when something is wrong just by looking at me! I can’t imagine what life would be like these past few years without you in mines. The thought of you just does something to my soul and I begin to smile from the inside.You’re so special to me! My families both chosen and blood adore you. My uncle literally texted me to ask if YOU were coming to the wedding. My aunts ask when you coming for holidays/events.I was so hard on myself for years and I asked god that when he sent me someone they would make everything feel light even in my/our darkest times. My rider, I love youHappy Valentines Day Stinky Pop-Noodle 💝💞💓♥️ by @tra_niana

Never let anyone downplay the person you’ve bust your ass to become! People often compare you to the person you used to be and it’s ok to tell them not to because you’re not that person anymore. You’ve grown into something more satisfying for your spirit and you may not be exactly where you want to be but you are on your way and very happy that you are no longer the person you were.Growth takes time!It took me a while to be able to love the person I see in the mirror everyday but I had to realize that nobody got me like I got me. People will disappoint you, ridicule you, talk down about you, and even make you out to be things you are not but those are not your problems because your problem is you! Take the time to love on your self amongst everything that is being thrown you way and you will notice who is truly for and the about the betterment of you!I went from hanging out all the time doing things I had no business doing to me literally barely hanging out! I’m happy because I am at peace and it’s somewhere I’d never think I’d be especially within myself!I had to learn to love myself and remove myself from the toxic situations and bodies I stationed myself around because I was “COMFORTABLE”! Step outside of your comfort zone and find out who you truly are. Stop waiting for people to do right by you, THEY WONT! They will apologize and do the same shit over, and over, and over again! Apologize to yourself for what you’ve allowed them to do and live your life for you.2024 is all about me 💗 by @tra_niana
