  • Cece in the City Takes on the 2025 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game

    This weekend was one for the books! I had the chance to attend the 2025 MLB All-Star Celebrity Softball Game, and let me tell you—it did not disappoint. I’ve been saying I wanted to get back outside more, dust off my camera, and dive deeper into the media space… and this was the perfect way to kick that off.

    From the moment I stepped into the stadium, the energy was electric. The lineup was stacked with celebs like Quavo, Prince Royce, Young Miko, Storm Reid, Druski, Jermaine Dupri, Kandi Burruss, Eladio, Funny Marco, Ronnie DeVoe, Wisin, Jerry Lorenzo, Myke Towers, Jordan Chiles, Maria Taylor, and more. It was like a star-studded family reunion on the field!

    I had some prime seats (shoutout to DJ Ms. Eclectic for getting me out there—she knows I’m serious about tapping more into sports and networking). The game was fun, the vibes were right, and the weather, although hot, was totally manageable.

    Highlight of the day? Snagging photos with Quavo, Ronnie DeVoe, Funny Marco, and Prince Royce—yes, you read that right! 📸

    The media setup was a little chaotic, but we pivoted through and still got great footage.

    This event reminded me why I love doing what I do. Long day? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. So don’t be surprised when you see Cece in the City popping up at more games and sporting events—this is just the beginning.

    Stay tuned, because the journey is getting real sporty over here! ⚾🎤📸

  • Goodbye June, Hello July  Happy 4th of July!

    Waving goodbye to rainy June and welcoming in sizzling July with open arms—and a neck fan on standby (yes, I ordered mine and I’m not ashamed!). Here is the link if you want to get one from amazon https://amzn.to/3I9t333 Can you believe we’re already halfway through the year?

    Today is Independence Day, a time to celebrate freedom, fun, and fireworks! The 4th of July marks the day in 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was adopted, officially breaking away from British rule. While I do have to work today (duty calls!), I’ll be clocking out in time to catch some fireworks—hooray for balance!

  • Playa Bowls, Buc-ee’s & Big Dreams – Welcome to Cece in the City!

    Today was one of those feel-good days where everything just lines up. I was out, the vibes were high, and Cece in the City was on the move!

    🎉 Grand Opening Playa Bowls in Snellville!
    Snellville, Georgia, is growing fast—and today, it got a little more tropical with the grand opening of Playa Bowls! Of course, I had to pull up and show some love. It was my first time trying one, and let me tell you, the Mango Berry bowl did not disappoint. Strawberries, mango, blueberries, a sweet drizzle of honey, and that crunchy granola that pulls it all together. Whew! 😋 It was like a bowl of sunshine. Big congrats to Playa Bowls—y’all pulled up just in time for summer, and I’m here for it!

    👕 Flashback to Buc-ee’s
    Now let’s rewind to December—when I made my very first trip to the legendary Buc-ee’s! Yes, Buc-ee’s: part gas station, part Walmart, part wonderland. I finally wore the shirt I grabbed from there today—bright peach with “Sweet Georgia Peach” across the front. My aunt had never heard of Buc-ee’s, and honestly, if you haven’t been, it’s one of those places you must explore. From snacks to souvenirs to clean restrooms (yes, that matters on a road trip), Buc-ee’s is a Texas-born gem with a Southern twist.

    📚 Shouting Out My Poetry Book!
    While I’ve got your attention, let me drop a little reminder—my poetry book is still out there on Amazon, waiting for you to read it, feel it, and maybe even pass it on to someone who needs a word of encouragement. If you haven’t checked it out yet… what are you waiting for? Search it up and support your girl 💕. Click link

    💗 A Note on Self-Love
    Now let’s get real. We’re always running around doing for others—family, friends, work—but what are you doing for you? Self-love isn’t just bubble baths and candles (though I love those too). It’s giving yourself permission to rest, to dream, to explore, to take a weekend getaway just because you deserve it. I’m learning to prioritize myself more, and it feels good.

    🌍 My 50-State Journey Begins
    And speaking of getaways—if you’ve been following me, you know I’m on a mission to visit all 50 states! So far I’ve done Georgia, Tennessee, and now I’m locking in my third one. I’m restarting this journey with a fresh mindset, documenting the whole thing and taking y’all with me. Can you guess what state is next? Drop a comment or a DM—let’s make this interactive.

    Whether I’m trying açai bowls, road-tripping with my Buc-ee’s tee, or just reminding you (and me) to love ourselves harder, I hope you’re inspired to live life on purpose. Here is a little dance for you. I tried the Wall to Wall Challenge lol

    Stay tuned, stay curious, and keep riding with Cece in the City 💛

  • 3rd Annual Bowling Tournament at Pin Strikes

    Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Annual Bowling Tournament at Pin Strikes Bowling Alley, an incredible event supporting the Yusaf Baber Foundation and 21 Reasons to Give Foundation. These organizations are doing amazing work in the community, and it’s always a joy to witness their impact firsthand.

    The energy was electric, with a fantastic turnout of people coming together for a great cause. One of the highlights? Meeting the legendary Asante Samuel! Last year, I had the opportunity to meet Jerome Baker at the event, and I was thrilled to see him return. Both are phenomenal athletes and even better role models.

    I couldn’t be prouder of Yusaf Baber and Josh Powell for putting together such a meaningful event. It’s inspiring to see their dedication, and I’m already looking forward to next year’s tournament!

    What made this year even more special was having two of my cousins join me for the first time. They had an amazing time, snapping plenty of pictures, networking with incredible people, and soaking in the positive vibes.

    It was a night of strikes, connections, and giving back—exactly the kind of event that reminds me why I love supporting organizations making a difference. Can’t wait for the 4th Annual next year!

  • Crumbl

    Hey dessert lovers!

    As we wrap up our July culinary journey, I saved the sweetest spot for last. Day 31 is all about dessert, and what better place to end than Crumbl?

    Whether you have a sweet tooth or just want to treat yourself, Crumbl is a must-visit. Their cookies are the perfect blend of big, bold flavors and sugary goodness.

    So, if you’re in Atlanta and in need of a dessert fix, head over to Crumbl. You won’t be disappointed!
