  • Birthday Weekend Vibes

    September 27th was my birthday, and let me tell you—it was a whole vibe from start to finish! ✨

    First, big shoutout to Dede Tolder, the master colorist and stylist who’s been keeping my hair flawless for a while now. I told her, “Dede, I need a new look for my birthday—a fresh color for this new chapter and journey.” And sis did not disappoint! She trimmed it, colored it, and gave me this gorgeous fall-inspired look that matched the season perfectly. 🍂 If you’re in Stone Mountain and need a stylist for color, cuts, sew-ins, or more, definitely call her at 678-357-0480. She’s

    the truth, and I left her chair feeling brand new.

    Next stop: The Patio! I slipped into my Fashion Nova fit, felt cute (and I know I looked cute too 😏), and celebrated with family and friends. We laughed, danced, and just soaked in the good vibes all night long.

    Saturday—my actual birthday—was just as special. My daughters took me to Rocking Crab, and listen… those crabs were everything! 🦀 They showered me with gifts, and I felt so loved. Big thanks to my family and friends for spoiling me—you all made me feel amazing.

    And if that wasn’t enough, the celebration kept rolling. The following Sunday, we hit The Patio in Snellville again, and this time Slick Rick and Chubb Rock were in the building! The energy was crazy, my leopard Fashion Nova outfit was giving, and I danced the night away with my crew.

    Overall, my birthday weekend was nothing short of incredible—full of love, laughter, and memories I’ll never forget. Here’s to another year, a new chapter, and a beautiful journey ahead. 🥂🎉 Happy Birthday to me—let’s see what this chapter brings! 💛

    As we honor Bob Marley on his birthday, we also recognize his impact during Black History Month. Marley was more than a musician—he was a voice for the oppressed, a symbol of resilience, and a global ambassador for reggae. His songs like Redemption Song, One Love, and Get Up, Stand Up spoke of freedom, justice, and the power of the people.

His children and grandchildren continue his musical legacy, reggae thrives as a genre that unites cultures, and his words remain relevant in movements for equality and change. His story reminds us of the power of art in shaping history and empowering communities.

  • Honoring Rosa Parks on Her Birthday & Black History Month

    As we celebrate Black History Month, today holds special significance—it marks the birthday of Rosa Parks, a woman whose quiet strength ignited a movement that changed history. Born on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama, Rosa Parks became a symbol of courage and resilience when she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a Montgomery bus in 1955.

    Her simple yet powerful act of defiance led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Parks’ bravery, along with the collective efforts of the Black community, challenged segregation laws and pushed America toward justice and equality.

    Rosa Parks’ legacy reminds us that one person’s courage can spark lasting change. As we honor her today, let’s reflect on the power of standing up—or sitting down—for what is right. Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks! Your strength continues to inspire generations.
