The energy in NYC is electric right now. Walking around my neighborhood, I hear people chanting, “Let’s go Knicks!” as strangers pass each other on the street. It’s been orange and blue skies all day!

I had the absolute pleasure of witnessing Berry take the stage in her one-woman show, Soft Belly on opening night and I’m still in awe.

From the moment she began, she commanded the room with such presence and ease. Watching her seamlessly transition between characters was nothing short of extraordinary. Each shift felt intentional, fluid, and deeply embodied. Her voice, her movement, her storytelling—it all worked together so beautifully.

There were moments where her voice shifted to song and it pulled us in even deeper, you could feel the entire audience completely locked into every word. It wasn’t just a performance—it was an experience rooted in love, purpose and legacy.

I highly recommend getting your tickets to see Soft Belly. You will leave inspired. Visit bio for tickets.

Honored to share that I am part of “The Axe Forgets, But The Tree Remembers.”

This group exhibition is about memory.
About people who carried more than what was visible.
About strength wrapped in softness.
About dignity that history tried to overlook.

Join us for the opening reception:
🗓 February 20, 2026
🕖 Doors open at 7PM
📍 The Billie Holiday Theatre

I would love to see you in the room.
Come witness. Come remember.

History remembers those who kept moving forward — even when the world didn’t make space.

2025-09-24 NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joined healthcare workers outside St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx on Sept. 24. Backed by SEIU Local 1199, Mamdani voiced strong support for protecting healthcare access and keeping New York City affordable for working families. He stood in solidarity with frontline workers, emphasizing the need to prioritize people over profits.

✨ Being a mother—a vessel for care and nourishment—and a photographer, which can be so physically demanding, I realized it was time to pour back into me.
I visited Grae’s Wellness and received a phenomenal massage from Tim Grae, founder and licensed massage therapist. From the moment our session began, I felt the tension ease and the stress melt away.
I left feeling lighter, uplifted, and with my cup truly filled—both figuratively and literally. This experience was such a powerful reminder that self-care is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
Thank you, , for your gift of healing. 💛💫
