the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from p the unpredictability of my schedule kept me from participating in @phillyveganrestaurantweek how i wanted to. but i did manage to skip on over to @chestnuthillbrewingcompany for my favorite vegetal apps 😋

so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul.

i'm still pinching myself about becoming a Cashman x PABJ Fellow this past summer ✨💜. 

last night, at the Emerging Media Diversity Awards Reception, I had the opportunity to witness journalists and creative professionals being honored for their impact on media. 

of course i'm inspired, and deeply considering what it means to build a legacy that contributes to the culture in a multitude of meaningful ways. congratulations to all the honorees! 

i'm ready for day 2 💜✨
