After this birthday shoot in Ghana, I realized these moments deserve more than just a post. In many homes, a milestone photo is printed large, framed, and lives with you every day. So I’m asking—what if we celebrated our milestones by bringing them home, where they can grow with us?
2025 asked me to slow down, grow up, and come home to myself.
happy official new year! I start my new year today. iykyk.
2025 wasn’t the loudest year, but it was one of the most necessary.
not everything made sense in the moment, but looking back… everything was shaping me. it taught me what it really means to build a life that feels like mine.

Ghana is Home of Black Stars🇬🇭
Been MIA for a bit, but I’ve been in Ghana recharging and loving every moment. Visiting as a kid was cool, but experiencing it as an adult is on another level. Ghana has evolved and my people have stolen the show. Home is where my heart is!
Thanks

•dressed big rock oysters
•grilled 1/2 chicken with green buttermilk
•smoked cherry Colorado lamb chops
•wadi rum jeweled rice
•charred broccoli with cashew harissa
•lemon frozen yogurt
at Puttery:
I believe it’s a 10 coursed mini golf. You get six tries to make it in the hole. They bring your drinks to you while you play. They have a rooftop and downstairs night club. Really fancy, I won this game night !

Y’all my hair grows in a spiral—so the way it’s styled directly impacts its health and growth. As a Type A/B girlie, I map out my hair months in advance or impromptu on the spot: trims, treatments, and protective styles are all part of the bigger picture.
Big love to Judy, who instantly got me and my hair, and to Barri at The Curlective Team for creating such an intentional, welcoming salon experience (yes to tea, water, and snacks while you’re being cared for 🫖✨).
Your hair tells a story—get to know yours. Learn your pattern, understand your texture, and plan for the growth you want to see. I highly recommend investing in hair education—not just styling.
✨ Go book a consult. Ask questions. Treat your hair like it matters—because it does.
Thank you @the_curlective for helping me better understand my hair and mapping what could be for the future.
