⚽️ Nothin' But Anthems Coming Your Way Sunday


It's a Jersey Jam! Fun fact, my late uncle was a professional NBA player when I was young. I used to love when he'd visit us in Chicago from New York, bringing all types of gifts. My favorite outfit as a kid was a gift from him when he played in North Carolina: a baby blue Charlotte Hornets jersey dress. Now while I know I wouldn't fit it for Sunday, I do wish I still had that jersey dress for nostalgia's sake. Jersey dresses are honestly the only style from the 2000s that I agree with bringing back. 😅

Anyway, I'll be playing at the Away Stage in City Hall for Nothin' But Anthems' Chicago party—themed in honor of the World Cup. I'll save you the throwback photo of me on the soccer field in second grade. I admittedly have not held on to my childhood love of sports—but I am trying to get back in touch. Invite me to your next WNBA watch party (or game IRL) and please direct me to where to get a fire soccer jersey before this weekend. I can't wait to dance with you!


Welcome to the Dyasphere

This year was the best birthday I've had in several years! Not only did I play two shows that are very aligned with who I am and where I want to go in my career, I simply felt loved and considered by the people around me. While I did not vlog the day of, I did capture the weekend celebrations at ASHAWO and Vigro Deep's show for JAMA! Happy Taurus season!


Drink of Choice?

What's your go-to cocktail on a night out? I shared mine in this fun Q&A.. plus you can catch what didn't make the cut in my latest YouTube video (I have a lot to say about Casamigos). Let me know in the comments!

If you're existing on the internet like the rest of us, you've likely heard the ongoing conversations of elder millennials and younger ones alike about feeling less inclined to go out and "party" but still wanting to gather publicly with friends. While I can't completely agree—I will likely be partying until my final days—I will say that I've absolutely hungered for a space to socialize and meet new people without the pressure of typical nightlife.
