who remembers when I was psycho about my plant-bas who remembers when I was psycho about my plant-based dietary fluff 😂 I was not very pleasant to be around… (studies show) and to an extent I still am. But it’s less about the vegan food and more about the quality of food overall because I don’t eat trash ass food lol but that’s another story for another day 😇 rant over 💜
funny story: Mr Washington used to mentor my big s funny story: Mr Washington used to mentor my big sister. ✨ my how time flies!! 
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 💜✨
so we got a new bread machine and I have not looke so we got a new bread machine and I have not looked back!!!! 🍞🥖😋

recipe deets: I used a conventional recipe and used my dairy free substitutions. that’s a lot easier than going down the rabbit hole of comparing different vegan/plant-based recipes. plus I lean a lot on what’s been passed down from my mother and my nana.

food is really my love language, and it’s important to know how to ADAPT a recipe and use what you have.

Being in a room full of powerhouse creatives, visionaries, and leaders left me feeling inspired and focused on the next level of my own journey.

I'm sharing more of my takeaways over on The Makings Of - my new Substack where I break down the behind-the-scenes of my creative journey, lessons, and projects.
