•| T I C K L E D • P I N K |• Grew up on Linden Blvd and Flatbush Ave in Brooklyn, NY. Dared to dream beyond the brick buildings and polluted pavements. A childhood colored in curiosity. Teenage years traced with trauma. Uncertainty underscored my tomorrows. The math amounted to murder at sixteen. And yet, here I stand at a different set of coordinates, still a Linden girl, yet in another part of the world. Standing on the business God brokered on my behalf. The plans for my life were written before I took my first breath. The days divinely numbered up to and including my death. On this day though I celebrate the blessing of more life, looking into faces who hold my story in their eyes. I remember when I had no idea who I would be. Then suddenly I am surrounded in a room looking out at me. Gathered and lathered in love at @lindenlosangeles – Through my leaking eyes I could see the plans God had for me all along. Every life standing before me, a brushstroke of my being. Who I am is the culmination of an encounter with each of them at some point along the path purposed and planned for me. A peace washed over me, as the revelation of who’s in control reminds me to relinquish control. The tribe chosen for me, who gathered in the eleventh hour of the eleventh month to celebrate this birthday, I cannot thank you enough! The village of voices that turned your volume high on my hearing through your countless messages, phone calls, videos, flowers, balloons, sacred words…..my heart has exploded. Joy is present. I’m in my tickled pink era….

•| M Y • H E A R T • A N D • S O L |• @silkyvalente ❤️🎉❤️ One of my best friends said to me one day “.. the only time you didn’t love Sol was the sixteen years before you met him.” I laughed, then got lost in the truth of that sentiment. I really have journeyed through the myriad faces and facets of love with @silkyvalente and find myself feeling so blessed with every new layer of learning, living, listening, laughing, lusting, and more that we explore. Life is not promised…and neither is love. Sol is a daily reminder for me of the richness of having both. As I savor the significance of being able to intimately understand the gift I’ve been given nestled in the body and being of Nigel Solomon Walker, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Today, he celebrates his 50th year walking the earth as the sacred son of the dearly departed Barrington and the inimitable gem Shirley Walker. Their finest qualities carved into the core of his character-integrity, humility, spirituality. He has been in perpetual pursuit of growth with intentional efforts aimed at becoming a better version of himself with each passing year. I am honored to bear witness and be partnered with him as #WalkersByFaith along this leg of his journey. He offers such warmth, compassion, care, kindness, consideration, charm, humor, generosity, faith, malleability, and a heart that loves me zownnnnnnnnnn!!! He’s very easy on the eyes and sweetly tender with his touch. His heart for God is our greatest shared asset. He enriches our family, bathes me in prayer, and anchors our marriage immeasurably. I thank God I get to do this life and the next with him. We grow together real bad. It’s a joy most days and a blessing ALWAYS…. Happiest Birthday to my beloved- May purpose prevail, may joy multiply, may impact increase, may faith expand, may love further fortify, may friendships deepen, may territory widen, may seeds bloom, may gifts grow, may his powerful presence permeate the atmosphere, may the legacy of those before him live on…. Yuh dun know how de ting set up! Boom! 😘❤️ *We absolutely don’t own the rights to this music *

Welcome to the half-century club @appleofhisai 🤪💃🏽🥂 Aisha… the world hits different because YOU’RE in it and my life is forever upgraded because God saw fit to place you in my orbit. Our paths didn’t just cross… they collided, locked in, fused like we were always meant to find each other. And listen — I am absolutely not about to step in the ring with your wordsmith wizardry. I know my lane and I’m staying in it! 🤣🙌🏽 But what I will say is this: YOU! Your presence. Your artistry? Your ministry of love? It’s unmatched. You don’t just act — you ignite. You don’t just speak — you heal. You don’t just show up — you shift the atmosphere. God is in everything you do!!! As you step into this next beautiful chapter of 50, my prayer over you is simple: More joy. More ease. More abundance. More divine alignment. More rooms that know your worth before you even step through the door. And more moments that pour back into you the way you’ve poured into me and so many others. Thank you for your love, your belief in me, our friendship, our kinship, our laughs, and the way you cover me without even trying. Happy Birthday, Beautiful Queen. I love you dowwwwwnnnn!!! ❤️🙏🏽
