Happy Monday! I am currently in Houston nursing a heck of a cough. It started in Haiti. Day one, I felt pains in my joints, cold sweats, and an uncharacteristic loss of appetite. I powered through, doing a meet n greet in Port au Prince (pix to come), then waking up at 7am every day with the rest of the group, drinking Emergen-C and taking naps as I could.

Happy Friday!! A few days ago, I was honored to appear on Bevy Smith’s Sirius XM show, Bevelations. A lot of you might know Bevy from Bravo’s Fashion Queens, but I came up in the industry knowing her as one of the most connected, most beloved fixtures in media, fashion, and entertainment.

The waitress, for some reason, thought it was ok to disrespect me. I’m generally a sweet and nice person. But in that moment, I had to check her and be a little…curt so that she could understand that I’m not the one. A lot of times…
I’m a creative person, though I think it’s taken me a while to ‘claim’ that. I always feel like I’m more practical and business minded…. creative isn’t an adjective I’d use to describe myself. My life is busy (y’all see me popping on and off of planes and moonlighting at various events). But this Memorial Day weekend, I had a rare moment of silence. I didn’t have one backyard BBQ or late night bashment to attend, so I started planning…
