      OMG, your memory is so much better than mine! But you’re right I did promise that. I’m trying to think about how I can fit that into other topics because I don’t think it will be interesting just on its own or maybe I can do a short video about what to look for. I did one with denim, did you see that? But it was short and for Instagram and RUclips shorts

    Climate change is real😢 as real as the respect and affection among the gworls. Love you taking me along to Essence, and does it really do what it is supposed to do for the culture and the communities it claims to serve. I ask because sometimes respectfully, the "outsiders" benefit more than the "insiders".

    Such a great video! Thanks for taking us along on your first Essence Festival journey. Congratulations…you look amazing in those fits. Your execution is just impeccable. Just a classy, personable human…thanks for the reminder that this is a community. The way you described things for us in the beginning as you tried each outfit on was such a style class lol. I enjoyed hearing you talk to one of your community members…you’re so down to earth. I understand not wanting to party so much anymore and knowing your cut off point….such a real self care moment. ❤
