Yesterday morning I was listening to some affirmations saying "the universe keeps showing me how good it can get" and as I walked in to this conference I was attending, there she was standing, so I went up and introduced myself and she was so nice and warm, I asked for a pic. Just wow!🤯✨️

For anyone not familiar, Bethann Hardison is an icon!!

She was one of the first Black high fashion models, an activist that has helped push for diversity of models in the global fashion industry, a director (see her doc Invisible Beauty), and Kadeem Hardison's mama! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

A'ja Wilson is THAT GIRL 💅

Not only did she hit the game-winning shot, she became the first player in WNBA history to record back-to-back 25+ PTS and 10+ REB games in the Finals, and now holds the record for the most 30-point postseason games!

This album was smooth from front to back! 🔥 Great debut! Many of the album cuts really could’ve gotten play on quiet storm hour.

This! I’m about function! A shoe that can be worn with multiple ‘fits & a good pair of 👟 & extra underwear. Anything else- If needed I’ll find it where I land.
