unnamed As a child growing up in New Orleans, I always loved to write. I would ask for pens and journals instead of toys on Christmas and my birthday. Besides the desire to have a book published (and now I have 5 of my own and 2 that I co-authored under my belt), I always dreamed of being in The New York Times and recently I was interviewed regarding my activism work to bring home the #MissingDCGirls and the fact that it was trending on Twitter at the time. The reporter reached out to me first after I was actively tweeting using the hashtag. Hashtags are POWERFUL! When the article came out, I was so super excited just to see me, my name, this girl from Louisiana in The New York Times!

In November, I had the honor of helping coordinate the MOU development process and support the logistics on signing day for the MOU between the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe of Louisiana and Louisiana State University Alexandria. It was amazing watching it come together as both organizations unite around a shared vision and this partnership represents growth, access and possibility. ✨

Last Friday was magical. As a member of our “Grinchmas” Employee Christmas Party Committee, I had the joy of helping bring this year’s Tribal Employees Christmas party to life. It was a blast. I even had the chance to share my own creation, Twas the Day Before the Employee Christmas party at the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe for the Left Right Game. It was a fun mix of Twas the Night Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I also did Christmas Song Bingo! It definitely let my creativity shine and I hope everyone enjoyed. What an amazing team we had and I was blessed to be apart of it. 🎄

STOP SHRINKING! 🛑 You were not born to fit into spaces that are too small for your shine. Your light is your power, not an inconvenience. If it makes others uncomfortable, that is a reflection of their discomfort, not your brightness. #IAmSimplyBeautiful @iamsimplybeautifulglobal

We had the Ruby Special! “The Ruby Special” is an 8 oz hamburger with cheddar cheese, served with french fries and a cherry vanilla shake at Russell’s Marina Grill.
