For her 35th birthday, Amber‘s boyfriend AE and I got together to throw a surprise dinner with her closest friends and family. We pulled this ish together in 5 DAYS – 2 of which I was away in Miami for! Talk about crunch time!

Thank you Jalysa for BODYING the entire planning – bringing in Wife of the Party/Loriann for the beautiful decor, Chef E. Dubble for the amazing food and Pinhead himself to deliver the cake – made by Dejenia with just 4 days advance notice! Thank you Ariela for stepping in as bartender lol with all of the amazing Ciroc drinks – THANK YOU Carver Guru! Thank you to Babes Of The Wave for the fire shades for Amb’s gift (pictured here) and to The Ave for the SICK Slash Vans that they did rush order for me!

After dinner, we hit a few clubs and I had my first paparazzi experience. Graceful, huh? More pics below!

My own notes:
This was THE dopest party I’ve ever attended in LA! It felt like the early 90s! Snoop Dogg was obviously there, as well as Warren G, Mack 10, Kurupt, Xzibit and so many more iconic west coast figures! The screening was held in the lot of Snoop‘s compound, and prior to the film, everyone was just kicking it and the vibe was too cool! So honored to have been there. Check out the film on YouTube now!

(Photos) Me Doing Misc. Cool Shit – June 2018

Facetune_30-06-2018-23-04-25

I did a lot of dope shit this month…and barely took pictures of anything! SMH!

I kicked June off with a week-long trip back home to the east side. While I was there I visited Rosenberg‘s Complex show, Open Late, kicked it with the fam at Ebro In The Morning, hosted Zombie‘s fourth annual celebrity basketball game in his hometown of Willingboro, NJ and my favorite of all – Summer Jam!

Upon my return, Netflix hosted a really dope activation in LA, celebrating their strong black leads. I did a cute boomerang vid there at least, but I can’t embed it on the site so just use your imagination to envision how cool it was. Ha!

BET Weekend was next up and man, it was a LOT! The only pics I got from that are a really blurry selfie with Zombz, and a hilarious video of an unbothered me in front of many strippers at Blac Youngsta‘s party. Unfortunately, IG took the video down, so now all I have is a screenshot of it. LOL!

The month ended with my girl Nicky‘s #MoneyMoves workshop for her Her Own Lane brand, and it was amazing to see so many dope, goal-oriented women in one room. It inspired me to put together my own event for women who want to break into media, so stay tuned!

Despite getting LAID OFF from my job, May was pretty cool!

Check out a couple pics below. I didn’t take any in the Bay or Miami, so…yeah.
