Yaya DaCosta Instagram – 2023 was a master class. Its collective grief was paralyzing. Still, I’ve been instructed by Spirit to share the old so that I can focus fully on the new. And I’m an obedient daughter, so please enjoy the coming highlights of the year that preceded my best year ever… Thank you, 2023, for everything. 🙏🏾 HIGHLIGHTS January, February, March My new niece was born! My lil bro became a Baba! My mother delivered the bassinet that I and all of my siblings and cousins slept in as newborns! The women in our families came together to make mama’s belly mask! I got my brother the coolest dad shirts and both dad and baby loved them! I hula hooped in the streets! I got dressed up and went outside! I met Victoria Rowell and cried because I realized that watching Drucilla in “The Young and the Restless” as a tiny human was one of my inspirations for becoming an actor! After multiple requests, I finally taught one of my favorite nail techs to tie a headwrap. She felt so beautiful and proud! “The Lincoln Lawyer’s” Andrea Freeman is such a gift! Here she’s saying, “The facts don’t lie.” Sounds like one of 2023’s themes. The truth will always be revealed, indeed. 💫
