The best essence vlog I’ve seen! I’m doing research since I’ll be attending essence fest 2024. Thank you for the helpful tips at the end! My flight and Airbnb are already booked 😂
First off, Happy 2024! I'm so thrilled to hear this. You are going to LOVE your Essencefest experience like I did and it sounds like your on the right track with booking your flight and stay early! Yes to that!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this! Here’s some of my tips. Get to the convention center early so you don’t have to wait in those long lines for the free stuff. Also, download the Essence app to know what’s happening all 3 days. I would also follow certain celebs/influencers/brands on their IG stories to find out what other pop ups/events are happening during Essence that you can attend! Go to eventbrite to see what concerts/after parties to attend
Yes same here i watched it n was like yessss I’m going this year …. Do u mins sharing where your air bnb was just trying to see if it’s better then a hotel cost wise
I'm going there in 2025 with my family, friends and colleagues. We would be a group of 20-30 South Africans. We starting to save from June 23. Thank you so much for giving us valuable information. ❤
I loved this video, it gave me more assurance about going this year.😊 If you don't mind answering, where did you guys sit? Or where do you recommend is a great viewing area at the superdome?
I’m so glad you loved my vid! I definitely recommend buying floor seats because I was in the nose bleeds and was staring at the screen the entire time. We eventually moved to better seats but this year I got floor seats!
New Subbie! Thanks YT for recommending this channel! I’m a NOLA ⚜️GIRL (live in MD currently) I loved your video (made me miss home) and you and your girls vibe 🙌🏾🤎
Yaaaaas! Welcome to my channel! I’m so glad you enjoyed my vlog especially since you’re from Nola and my girls and I came back to Essencefest last wknd and we had a time🎉 I didn’t vlog but I posted reels on my IG @runitwithrobin if you want to follow😁
I’m so glad you enjoyed watching this! I would recommend get to the convention center early so you don’t have to wait in line and hit up all the activations and get the free products! Also, follow brands/celebs you know will be at Essence so you can go to their pop ups that are outside of the convention Ctr activity!
Not “im not black” lol I’ve never been so Im definitely looking forward to when I can make it out there. I’ve seen Janet and New Edition as well at their own concerts in jersey but I would’ve loved to see them again. oh wow a restaurant with the actual date on the menu. Hoping I could remember that Drago’s restaurant to try the Oysters. Yes the ponytail is def giving Jasmine-Aladdin. What the heck did y’all spray on your feet lol oh it doesn’t last all night- got it. “I didn’t grow up on Frankie Beverly and Maze” lol I frickin love you girl Okayyy Robin Latoya! That blue looks amazing on you. Thats dope that 50 of you were invited to meet Ashanti. Did your friends get to go too? All of the food looks amazing!! Did you record this on your phone or digital camera? I love your vlog!! Im subscribed babe! Keep it going this is dope.
Thanks Tiffany! You NEED to make it out to Essencefest next year! We booked our flights and Airbnb early in the year and so all we had to do was buy our early bird tickets as soon as they came out so it wasn’t expensive. The food in Nola is simply amazing but I definitely recommend trying the oysters at Drago’s and for a more upscale experience go to GW Fins!!! It’s worth the money! My friends didn’t go with me to meet Ashanti. They were hungry so they went to eat and they picked me up afterwards. I hope you make it out next year and thanks for subscribing🙏🏽
Robin you have the most graceful smile. I can tell you have an amazing personality! You are extroverted full of energy and just a genuine individual. You love to say Aaliyah was one in a million; Truly I must say you yourself are one in a million. When I think of this Bible verse I feel you are the epitome of it. “Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou (you) excellest them all.” Proverbs 31:29 I’d like to know more about you. I actually emailed you. Not sure if you will get it or not as I can imagine you are saturated with emails. Hopefully you see it. Have an amazing day!
So I wanted to take my girl down for some good black music and culture but it seems this is only structured for women. I think imma pass unless yall can convince me otherwise. Anyone in the comment please.
It's the "I'm not black" and the "black girl hair" "Latoya" and the "ghetto" look that took me back a little 😕 Just relax and enjoy the culture, not once did we hear "I'm not Indian" or "Indian girl."
This comment is tacky and in poor taste. Babes, we don’t have to ALWAYS try to gatekeep for the culture. Relax and enjoy the vlog like everyone else 🥂…..AND as a close friend of almost two decades to this beautiful Queen - there is nothing performative or even appropriating about this, but to each their own ✌🏾😘
@PrettyPositive_worldwide…this comment is pretty negative! Trust and believe if there was anything off putting about Robin’s comments during this experience, we would have let her know because we are her friends and we want her to shine in all that she does. Nothing about this vlog was offensive. If you take offense, that’s an opinion you’re entitled to have but we certainly don’t have to care. As you were.
I think Essencefest is something couples would definitely enjoy. I think you both would really enjoy the concerts at night. There’s also day parties you can attend if you rsvp and buy tix in advance. I feel like during the day there’s a lot of sessions for women than men but it’s just a great festival you both can experience

For the superdome, did you need clear bags?
Yes, I brought a clear clutch
Not “im not black” lol I’ve never been so Im definitely looking forward to when I can make it out there.

“I didn’t grow up on Frankie Beverly and Maze” lol I frickin love you girl
Okayyy Robin Latoya! That blue looks amazing on you. Thats dope that 50 of you were invited to meet Ashanti. Did your friends get to go too? All of the food looks amazing!! Did you record this on your phone or digital camera? I love your vlog!! Im subscribed babe! Keep it going this is dope.
Thanks Tiffany! You NEED to make it out to Essencefest next year! We booked our flights and Airbnb early in the year and so all we had to do was buy our early bird tickets as soon as they came out so it wasn’t expensive. The food in Nola is simply amazing but I definitely recommend trying the oysters at Drago’s and for a more upscale experience go to GW Fins!!! It’s worth the money!
My friends didn’t go with me to meet Ashanti. They were hungry so they went to eat and they picked me up afterwards. I hope you make it out next year and thanks for subscribing🙏🏽
That's a cute ass apartment to live in! lol
That whole neighborhood was everything! Definitely stay in the garden district your next trip!
I know Right!! A studio in Nola is a lot more spacious than NYC! The 3 of us slept so comfortably in there
Salute. You going back again this year?
Hi, can you share the Airbnb listing?
Robin you have the most graceful smile. I can tell you have an amazing personality! You are extroverted full of energy and just a genuine individual. You love to say Aaliyah was one in a million; Truly I must say you yourself are one in a million.
When I think of this Bible verse I feel you are the epitome of it.
“Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou (you) excellest them all.”
Proverbs 31:29
I’d like to know more about you. I actually emailed you. Not sure if you will get it or not as I can imagine you are saturated with emails. Hopefully you see it. Have an amazing day!
You are so pretty ‼️ Did you meet someone?

My hubby and I are thinking about going to the Essence fest 2023… Is it something that men can enjoy too ?
I think Essencefest is something couples would definitely enjoy. I think you both would really enjoy the concerts at night. There’s also day parties you can attend if you rsvp and buy tix in advance.

@@runitwithrobin7594 Thank you for your reply. I cant wait. Looking forward.
