I couldn’t let the year end without celebrating one of my biggest wins: hosting my very own event during Essence Festival weekend! ✨ Let me tell you, this was not an easy road. I cried multiple times throughout the process. Shoot even in some pics, my eyes puffy 😂😫 The journey was filled with challenges, but staying persistent made it all worth it in the end. Late post?

More post to come! 2025 is about to be next-level, so stay tuned for what’s coming because we’re only going up from here! 💪 Awardees: getrichordirecttryin derin.lindsey buzinessminded dr.nicolecaridad dr.jacquienese Host: jchiclifestyle Award Presenter: whoismashi Event Partners: nouvellepr Venue: socialhausstudios 📸 jphotographyllc and everyone who had a camera 😂😂😩�...
