That’s beautiful!

Shaniqua’s Know it All @shayshayma.bsky.social · Sep 11

For me Michael Jackson hands down! This song was my late daughter Camille’s intro to MJ - this was in 2005 she was about 4 or 5 years old and she completely fell in love with Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5. Every morning like clock work Got to be there has to be played to start our day.

I was the first Boricua to ever do a sneaker commercial, but was I also the first Latino, period? Forever grateful to @john_c_jay @gerryerasme for putting a young brother on. I ran with the opportunity from there! More stories like this in my memoir. Link in bio to purchase. Wooord #bobbito
