From my PR files I believe cool is universal.

It doesn’t check your age, your race, your gender, or your timeline. It moves across all of it.

What’s always fascinated me is how influence travels. The 90s shaped the sound. The sound shaped the culture. The culture shaped the confidence. And now Gen Z remixes it with their own lens — new rhythm, same soul.

This was my 90s jam.
And somehow, it’s my Gen Z inspo too.

That’s the magic of good music. It collapses generations. It reminds us we’re more connected than we think. What felt iconic then still hits now — just with a different filter.

Cool isn’t owned. It just is.

I didn’t set out to have a butterflies + bday theme. I was just showing up for a day of me. This is where I’ll be. Meet me there if it works for you.

What unfolded was something deeper. Not a midlife crisis. A midlife chrysalis.

My children are raised. The woman who survived has done her work. And now I get to opt back into me.

Like a caterpillar entering metamorphosis, this next chapter is about transformation. The third quarter. Wisdom as the secret sauce. Experience without apology. Joy without permission.

From painting and potting at the butterfly gardens at Fair Park to dinner and drinks at Dragonfly at Hotel ZaZa, this season is about flight.

Thank you to those who showed up. And to those who sent love from afar. I feel it.

This is becoming.

We are getting too old to be worried. God made one of you. And you are GREAT!

Just in time for the World Cup and the close of Black History Month, the time Shenikwa became one of the first captains and scholarship recipients for Howard University women’s soccer team.

I promise I have lived 1,000 lives. This post is dedicated to the time Howard University became the first HBCU to establish a women’s soccer team, and by divine timing, I became part of the inaugural class of scholarship recipients and its first co-captain. This moment shifted the trajectory of my life and the generations that followed.

I have been playing soccer since I was 6. My mom had no idea what she was signing me up for, but club soccer, travel, and national competitions became a major part of our lives, all with the expectation of a scholarship. A blown ACL and a growing desire to attend an HBCU made that path feel unlikely.

I was the first in my family to attend college. My parents said they could get me to HU, but were not sure they could keep me there. Sophomore year, because of Title IX, Howard created its first women’s team. I not only got to stay, I got to graduate. I later found out my great great grandmother attended Fisk University, so I give honor to her.

Black history is year round, but as this month closes, I honor this chapter. The time Shenikwa went to college, earned a scholarship, and became part of something bigger than herself.

Shout out to my coaches and teammates, The Mecca, my mama, and my God for choosing me. You should see the Lady Bison now, and all of the other HBCUs with teams.

A place where connection comes first,
conversation flows naturally,
and belonging is built with intention.

Welcome INN.

Christmas Eve felt like the right moment to share this.

If you know a student graduating Spring 2026 who’s curious about public relations, storytelling, or communications, this paid summer internship may be a meaningful place to begin.

Legacy, to me, has always been about access and making sure doors stay open behind us.
