I did a ton of cool shit this summer!

I hosted a dope Cinco de Mayo party in DTLA alongside the legendary Suga Free, as well as women’s night at the Blind Dragon with DJ City.

I also was invited to some amazing pop-ups, including Stacks House LA (dedicated to financial literacy) and Netflix‘s summer programming preview.
