Last week, I hosted my first official [housewarming] party of the year at my new home, the Humble Ranch. So many of my family & friends came out to celebrate this awesome life event with me. It was a simple affair complete with excellent texture, color, design, drink, & food mixed with African flair. Everybody […]

A few weeks ago, I downloaded the new photo editing app iPhone app, Enlight. I can’t stop playing with this app. Once you get the hang of the crazy amount of options, the sky is the limit when it comes to your creativity. Admittedly, I am not one who does or even knows how to […]

Last week, I attended a Louis Vuitton V Collection launch party this week and wore an awesome silk scarf made by my friend Ellen M. She has some amazing & versatile designs. The scarf that I’m rocking as a cravat actually has so many colors that I can wear it with a variety of shirt/blazers […]

The visually stunning video for “River” by Ibeyi, a twin sister duo is enough to send me through changes but the haunting music & message really rock my world. If you’re feeling “River” then you have to check out “Mama Says,” which has an equally stimulating video & lyrical presentation. Get you some & vibe […]

I am not a big fan of going out during the week, but when my girl Mayaeni organized a show, there was no way that I could not be there. She gave the standing room audience everything they needed and then some! And as an extra rock songstress bonus, she had Steffanie Christi’an on stage […]

Three years ago, I made a plan to purchase a home. Last week, the plan materialized & I’m beyond happy. Staying committed to the plan was a little rough as I had to really resift my priorities to make things happen but it was worth all of the sacrifices. Waking up to a home drenched […]

My cousin, best best best friend, Cousin Dee is having a baby!!! She broke the news several months ago and it was the best news ever. Of course, I had to photograph this wonderful moment in my family’s history. The image above is my absolute favorite from our little session. We were joking and sing […]
