Whether performing Kendrick Lamar verses verbatim or acting out every scene from Moana 1 & 2, I never knew that I could learn so much from someone so young. I pray, everyday, to be more like our daughter - unencumbered, unbothered, and when appropriate, tad bit unhinged! HBD🐻

Is that really what I look like if I lived life with no inhibitions?!? 😂🫠🥲🤪🤯😱🫣🤭. I admire my Twinnie for being courageous in all scenarios (except when meeting mascots) with a spirit governed by pure joy and boundless energy.

In moments like these, I am hopeful because I remember we are a blues people! After all, the late, great poet and Tennessean, Nikki Giovanni reminds us:. “We sang the blues in the.Cotton fields.Not to complain.About our lives but to let.Each other know.WE ARE STILL HERE”

Last week, I had the honor of rocking the mic at @GulliverPrep_ for their annual #BlackHistoryMonth celebration! #HipHop music and culture continue to provide avenues for community building through radical truth-telling!
