The Ebony 🍫 girlies got together to attend the first attempt to revive the New York Carnival Parade.

Now, it was not what we remembered from the early 2000s and our college days… there were logistical issues with the timing of the floats, consistent music, and barricades, where once upon a time, you could walk right in and join the parade.

Even with all of the imperfections and at one point hiding in the corner of a cell phone store because of gunshots 👀… we still had a chance to connect, dance, laugh, let go of life’s troubles, and just enjoy going with the flow.

Eating authentic food, having drinks, and seeing where the day would lead us.

Vibes brought to you by the original ’90s bad gyals. 😏

It’s non of our business what other dogs are barking about 🐶

NO is very powerful.

I’ve discovered how saying no has transformed my life and helped me reset my expectations of myself and others.

No has taught me about boundaries, self-respect, discernment, and making room for what I actually want.

Sometimes the perfect answer really is NO.

My new Substack series, “The Perfect Answer Is No,” shares more about what I’ve learned along the way.

If you’ve been looking for a little confirmation, this might be it.

Shoutout to all the dance teachers, musical theatre directors, music teachers, and visual arts educators pouring into the next generation every single day. 🎭🎨🎶

Thank you for building confidence, character, creativity, and reminding young people that the world is still a beautiful place for artists to imagine, create, and transform.

May your summer be restful.
May the choreography, cue sheets, songs, and lesson plans stop running through your mind. 😭

Take the break. Enjoy the rest.
…unless you’re teaching summer camp lol 😂 good luck.

The curtain is closed!
