It’s nearly 2 a.m., and I’m making a Karpatka (Polish mountain cake).

Awww, tysm!!! Btw, I need to run back one of those hugs in person, QUICK!

LOL - I’m sure the moment will pass, or I’ll develop the capacity to better contain it. But the past two weeks have unearthed exactly how much I *don’t* know about this new area of practice, and I’m just eager to get past the learning curve. 🫠

Baby, imposter syndrome been kickin’ my behind lately! I even got an accolade recently that acknowledged my achievements in Career No. 2, but somehow I still feel incredibly ignorant among some of my colleagues. I guess that’s good for humility, right? 😅

I want some crawfish so bad. Can’t wait to go home later this month! 😫

I just realized that I definitely experienced a beware-of-the-ides-of-March moment yesterday! Talk about SHOOKETH! 🥴😂

There's risk inherent to every investment, whether financial, social, or emotional. Even with careful planning, a methodological approach, and a little luck, you can still *not* land the desired outcome--and that's okay. You'll reflect, regroup, and rebound, because you're resilient.

Today marks the 13th anniversary of my mother's transition. I posted her photo to my socials, and I've been inundated w stories from folks who shared how Mama made them feel seen. She was a safe harbor for those seeking refuge from the cruelty of the world. I couldn't be prouder to be her son.

Embrace it, my baby! Before long, you’ll look all distinguished, and folks won’t be able to avert their gaze because you’ll be even more stunning! 🙂‍↕️

And this is a reminder that empowering state Dem chairs to back and boost their candidates of choice will have greater returns than someone planted/pushed by the National Dems. Both work, but the former feels (and often is) more authentic because they have greater ctrl over how they connect w voters

And it doesn’t hurt that she’s always been and still is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. 😊

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

The first TD scored happens in the 4Q?! Me watching this game:

Delegate duties are done for the day. Point to the nearest Super Bowl party, please and thank you! 🙂‍↕️

PERIODDDD!

My daddy’s always been my biggest cheerleader and ain’t never said a condemning word to or about me. Folks love projecting their own insecurities onto others who are happy and thriving as individuals and in their familial relationships.

Yeah, so today sucked. 😂

Just realized that I’m spending Super Bowl Sunday in San Antonio. 🙃 Open to any recs on where to catch the game.
