ISSA CELEBRATION 🍾! I PASSED the @winescholargu ISSA CELEBRATION 🍾! I PASSED the @winescholarguild Champagne Master-Level Exam! So many thanks for the vision of @juliaconey , the leadership of @champagnelaurentperrier @mdloveslp @js_lpus and the community of @blackwineprofessionals 💛! Congratulations to @c.anthonyjr for passing with HIGHEST Honors 🥂! Your commitment and passion are inspiring! ——————————————————————————— To my @illadelph1 and my Baby Girl Em, thank you for your continued love and support. The time it takes away from you both to study is not taken for granted. Love you both beyond words ❤️.
IT’S MY PREVIVOR DAY 💗! 5 years ago today I w IT’S MY PREVIVOR DAY 💗! 5 years ago today I walked into the hospital and underwent a PROACTIVE Double Mastectomy with reconstruction because I have a genetic mutation called PALB2. I’ve never had cancer but coupled with my Mother’s bc history, my lifetime risk of getting breast cancer was 58%. One of my “Breasties” gave me the following analogy...If you were getting on a plane and as you were boarding the flight attendant told you that there was a bomb on the plane and it has a 58% chance of going off would you still get on? My answer was obvious. My WHY is in this picture ❤️. ———————————————————————— CHECK👏🏽YOUR👏🏽BOOBS👏🏽 EVERY👏🏽MONTH👏🏽! Be vigilant for yourself and your health 💗. If you have any questions about my journey I’m happy to answer them. #CheersYall 🥂
Experience, Exposure, & Access ❤️. I took a mu Experience, Exposure, & Access ❤️. I took a much needed break from my champagne studies to spend some quality time with my loves and it was a weekend well spent ❤️. ——————————————————————————— Today we went to The Art of Banksy: "Without Limits" Exhibition at @underground_atlanta . While some of the content was a little advanced for a five year old, it created a great conversation about using your voice for good and speaking up when you see something is wrong. She can’t wait to tell her Art teacher who ironically has a hamster in the classroom named Banksy ☺️. ——————————————————————————— We had a family date night and took Em to her first fine dining experience at the NEW @steakmarketatl on Friday. She did amazing , kept an open mind to try new foods and even scored some birthday cake from one of the guests. Back to the books now 🙃!

I believe in energy ✨. Good, joyful energy✨. A I believe in energy ✨. Good, joyful energy✨. Authentic, let’s help each other win energy✨. We genuinely cheer for each other energy ✨. I see more in you energy ✨. Hold each other accountable energy ✨. I have all of that and more in my bond with @juliaconey ❤️. We’ve built a genuine sisterhood and friendship over the past couple of years and had never laid eyes on each other in person until this past Wednesday. During such a trying week, the joy shared meant the world. Julia- THANK YOU ❤️!
It’s my Brenda’s Heavenly Birthday 💗🎂😇! My Mommy angel would have been 67 today. My sister/friend Julia says that grief is the price we pay for loving someone. Lord knows I love/d her a whoooolllllleee lot🥲. I’m grateful for the many lessons she taught me and the glimpses I see of her in Emeri help on the tougher days that still come all these years later. I’m blessed to be Brenda’s Daughter 💞…and I’ll never let go. #MyLotus
Experience, Exposure, and Access. We believe in ta Experience, Exposure, and Access. We believe in taking Emeri to the places we like to eat in addition to the kid friendly restaurants. After experiencing ILLUMINARIUM, we walked next door to the very chic Bazati and had lunch to expose her to the types of places we like to go for Date Night. The menu was kid friendly enough for her to find something she’d like as well as try something new (a rule of ours). Dre’s tomato soup quickly became hers lol. Our hope is that these experiences will groom her and ultimately create access as she becomes a young adult because she’ll know how to conduct herself 💁🏽‍♀️. A Saturday afternoon well spent ☺️!
The name EMERI means Brave & Powerful. You embody The name EMERI means Brave & Powerful. You embody that and SO much more. Have a great year Babygirl 💗!
