For the lil girls who never thought being a band director was possible.

@krissygentilly Thank you!

I cried like a baby when the announced me band director at Roots. Mostly because I wish my mom was physically here to see this. I just know she working overtime in the next realm everything coming to me.

In always in ALL WAYS @sunkissedGABE

Man one thing about my tribe… they gonna show up for me ALWAYS and I got some pretty cool God kids out the deal. ❤️

This is all God. I just always pray I don’t fumble the blessings God gives me.

When I was a kid I always said I wanted to be a band director… then I abandoned it. I got weary after my experience in high school and I never saw a great female band director. Now I’m the head band director at one of the best band programs in the city. God heard lil V!

Today is my mom’s 70th birthday. As tough as it is, I saw a white heron on my way to put flowers on her grave this morning. Told her what’s to come and now I’m on my way to a news interview about what’s next in my life. Always my guide. Love you ma! I’m carrying you forever. 🕊️

There’s a lot of change happening in my life right now. I know change is good but boy it’s nerve reckoning too.

Dawg on vacation and I still can’t catch a break. My God!

On vacation and it’s my girl birthday DND ✌🏾

Life has stunned me into silence nowadays. Just clock in, clock out. Enjoy little glimmers of happiness with loved ones and repeat..

I ain’t never been sober and felt out of my body. Dawg.

Today was tough. Like tougher than the Sunday I played knowing my mom was transitioning. Tougher than the Sunday I played after she died. Tougher than the funeral and the Sunday after her funeral and I was playing in the same spot.

Ibuprofen 800 takes its job seriously every damn time

But you know what I did get some positivity today. Passed out some different warm up’s and fixed some parts to songs. Man the kids alright… they keep me in the fight.

And I’m pretty sure whatever is wrong is grief. Grief can kick your ass!
