Legacy doesnโ€™t arrive. Itโ€™s earned.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

The Class of 2026 crossed the stage at Morehouse carrying 158 years of sacrifice, scholarship, and Black excellence on their shoulders.From the movement to the boardroom. Morehouse men donโ€™t just enter rooms. They change them.

Early frames from todayโ€™s historic commencement. More moments coming. Stay tuned. ๐Ÿ“ธ

Year 2 leading the Talent programming for #essencehh2025 but this year was a little different as I not only booked the talent, but I was also the talent as a moderator for a panel on Content Creation with a few people Iโ€™ve known worked with and respected for years. @karencivil @drea_knowsbest @kevonstage

This year we celebrated the longstanding legacy of community building and resilience of #Altadena who we must continue to support and uplift. Itโ€™s always a labor of love to bring this event together, but having Mr. Floyd Norman (Disneyโ€™s first Black animator and longstanding Altadena community member - look him up!) with us on the last day of Black History Month was special โœŠ๐Ÿฝ

Working with framily is always a treat. And couldnโ€™t do it w/o those who help get it done! (Several not pictured)

S/o to one of the hardest working teams in the biz. Team ESSENCE, who also recently brought home an NAACP Image Awards Vanguard honor for the brandโ€™s 55 year legacy to top it all off!

I love my Black job

Year 2 leading the Talent programming for #essencehh2025 but this year was a little different as I not only booked the talent, but I was also the talent as a moderator for a panel on Content Creation with a few people Iโ€™ve known worked with and respected for years. @karencivil @drea_knowsbest @kevonstage

This year we celebrated the longstanding legacy of community building and resilience of #Altadena who we must continue to support and uplift. Itโ€™s always a labor of love to bring this event together, but having Mr. Floyd Norman (Disneyโ€™s first Black animator and longstanding Altadena community member - look him up!) with us on the last day of Black History Month was special โœŠ๐Ÿฝ

Working with framily is always a treat. And couldnโ€™t do it w/o those who help get it done! (Several not pictured)

S/o to one of the hardest working teams in the biz. Team ESSENCE, who also recently brought home an NAACP Image Awards Vanguard honor for the brandโ€™s 55 year legacy to top it all off!

I love my Black job

ATL welcomed me home for the holidays with an action packed night of big vibes and celebration!Kicked off the night saluting my fam @bambesky (the unofficial mayor of the city) for his 40th, then made my way to the Mayorโ€™s UNCF after ball. S/o to all the HBCU grads and movers and shakers in the city that were in the building raising the $MMโ€™s to support the UNCF. @classic_cannon made sure the vibes were immaculate as the after ball co-chair and kept it rockin!! Got to put that ish onโ€ฆparty with a purpose for a stellar night w/ family and friends.

One of my greatest career accomplishments and immense honor to have a hand in celebrating Frankie Beverly with this cover story and having him on stage at Essence Festival this year for what would be his final on stage appearance. So many memories and moments tied to his musical legacy. Rest well Mr. B! ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Proof of life (a beautiful one). Staying in flow even when life ebbs, and operating in gratitude for the beauty of life, people, places, moments and memories. #outchea
