Congratulations your book is a whole journey. As a Brooklyn kid growing up in NYC in the 70s 80s n 90s the book gave me a walk down memory lane. Thought about the J n M train passing my building with the beautiful graffiti pieces. As you talked about music - especially the birth of hiphop, artists of all art forms during that time, clubs, the old Village and SoHo, galleries, articles, posters, tags across the city those stories made me smile - that's the NYC I remember and treasure. Applause to you for capturing this history. Thank you for sharing your story, brother. 👏🏾💐 👏🏾💐👏🏾

Hardcopy gives you the images, but the audible has those brilliant bonus interviews!!!!

While I'm still on my c@nn@b!s sabbatical handling personal matters please know I still believe this plant like many others makes a difference in the lives of many. And I STILL believe NO ONE SHOULD BE IN PRISON FOR C@NN@B!S. Salute to Nick Hustles for this dope a*z song "W€€D Might Be Bad for You, It Sure Is Hell Ain't Been Bad For Me." The lyrics are on point 💯 ✊🏾👊🏾

No matter what's going on I'm going to celebrate this holiday. Did the best I could with what I got because the holiday snuck up on me. I'm loving it 🎄Had to hit as many corners around my home because you have to spread love it's the Brooklyn way. Now onto making the Coquito Sangria for Xmas eve. Pasteles ready. Tomorrow the pastelitos and other 🇵🇷 dishes for xmas eve dinner.

I still have peace, love and joy no matter what's going on. Celebrate life. Happy Holidays all.

Took hundreds of photos too many to post but here are some of my fav pics from my trip to 🇹🇷 and 🇬🇷. What an incredible experience.

2025 has shown be some interesting challenges and I am so grateful to God for guiding through it. Celebrating my 56th bday with a new perspective. Living life and enjoying. 🎂🎊🎉

What an amazing weekend. And to think I was just excited to get out of the city for a bit to enjoy the beauty of Hudson Valley and be my good sistafriend's plus one. That was enough for me but then this happened and I am still in shock...

I am still processing what it means to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. Acknowledgments are not always easy for me to receive or embrace. Had I known ahead of time I likely would have declined and suggested other notable people in the industry. While I believe I have accomplished a lot, I also feel I have so much more life to live, more to give, and more work to do.
But I understand the importance of stepping up and giving thanks to those who see you.

That said I still hesitated to post this award. I’m not always comfortable living out loud. I prefer to keep my head down, creating, building, and working quietly. Honestly, had it not been for a hard push from a friend giving me the same advice I give them I would have only posted the honorees who truly deserve all the flowers - Coss, Lu and Andre🏆💐🏆💐🏆💐. No matter how many times I hear your stories I tear up.

Congratulations to Luis Vega, Coss Marte and Andre Brown the true honorees. Your journeys, resilience, and leadership inspire us all to keep building and pushing forward. More people need to hear your stories.

Thank you, Ruben Lindo, for this honor and for creating such a beautiful event that brought the community together in a powerful way. I see the dedication and hard work you and your team put into HerbN Couture, and I truly appreciate it.

A heartfelt thank you to my friend, sister, and colleague Dr. Roz McCarthy for your kind words, unwavering support, and for always seeing me. Walking this journey alongside you has been one of my greatest blessings.

I am forever grateful for this moment and will continue to pass the baton so this energy of passion, knowledge, and building will live on.

As Ruben said 💚

Big congratulations to Alicia Brown
and Tracey Henry on the launch of their new company and product, The PR Switch. I'm beyond proud and excited to share their news. These two are building something truly special. Check out their feature in CashColorCannabis. Keep rising to the top, ladies. This is only the beginning.

When an unplanned trip to see the offspring and the family turns out way better than I could have planned. New Orleans always has my ❤️
