AHHH, so excited to share this amazing gift I recently received from @Barbie... 💘🎀 My very own Wheelchair Barbie and other goodies. Can’t thank them enough for making inclusion a part of play time for kids and for making adults like me feel seen in my childhood toys! #Barbie



Today was another milestone day in the journey of my first book BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE...the kickoff meeting to begin discussing marketing and publicity leading up to the release in March! Special thanks to my sister for being my amazing stylist again! Look at that pizazz and pop...
