The @filmindependent awards show is always one of the best because you get exposed to so many different types of art! And these artists are out here making such honest and heart wrenching work! And congrats to all the winners especially @cordjefferson and @jfreewright.
@marjthestylist !!!!! I’m so sorry! I didn’t do the pose as practiced! My hands, my hands! Oh speaking of hands! @maalouu_nails thank you!!!! Mia you created the perfect shade! Also, this was the only red carpet where I was having a true out of body experience! I think I was hungry! Lol!!
It’s been a weekend of many many firsts. And there are so many people to thank! It was my first time wearing @dior on a red carpet. It was my first time hosting the @mptf #nightbefore party! What an honor! I’m late to posting all the things because man!!!!!! I was just trying to be present!!!! Oh. I almost forgot! First time I’ve worn this necklace on the red carpet. My mom and dad gave it to me for Christmas years ago. Now that my Pop is gone, it was really special to feel him with me. @marjthestylist @tayriverabeauty @philippeuter

Every year I try to put what our beloved sisterhood means to me into words, and I never can. Because I’ve come to understand that the sisterhood is living and breathing in all of us who walk this walk, who choose to do this journey as Delta women, as Delta sisters. @jwaundace you have shown me more about sisterhood than I can ever, ever thank you for. You embody Delta. You embody sisterhood. You are the most loving mix of humor, talent, beauty, intelligence, kindness, strength, energy, vulnerability…..you shine so incredibly bright everywhere you go, it’s impossible not to love you. I wish I could share on here all the moments that we’ve shared. Some are too personal, some may get us arrested, some are just too damn us to even begin to try and tell it!! But I thank the lord everyday for the jokers that he used to bring you into my life. So many times you held me up, or pulled me up, and forced me to stand and live to thrive another day! You truly were born to be a Delta. Born to be a queen. I hope your birthday is nothing short of incredible! I hope you feel loved and that this birthday marks a year of miracles and joy! I love you so much! Happy Birthday Soror! Happy Founder’s Day Soror! #1913 #j13🔺 #dst1913 #stuntpoc #sisterhood
