There are people you meet whose mere presence leaves an indescribable impact on your life. @quirkyrican has been that person for me. Gabby reminds me of how beautiful life can be if one moves from a place of possibility instead of doubt, if you stand on a foundation built on radical joy and navigate with community at the forefront. She is a master at manifesting. And more than a year ago she manifested to have a child; on her own terms. This week I was honored to not only celebrate baby Santana tuning one but to stand with @just_marcy82 as we vowed to always watch over and care for Santana as her godmothers. This week my heart expanded more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you @quirkyrican for welcoming into your beautiful tribe. Love you.

Happiest birthday to @_life_of_pepe Grateful to have spent it with loved ones. And a big thank you to @doggiecakespr for the amazing “Un Verano Sin Ti” inspired doggie cake.

COME CELEBRATE MY BDAY🎂 - If you love me come to @arrebatoqueer this Saturday. @connaycon, my fellow Gemini sister, and I are MCing the night. - 🏳️‍🌈🥳🍑🔥

And that’s a wrap! - After almost two years @thegetupmorningshow has come to an end. - Starting a morning show in the middle of a pandemic isn’t easy. But I didn’t do it alone. It takes a village - @jamesciathomas @kywillmedia @benaissalila @damnsethdaniel @markvanhare @roseguerin and many more whose handles I don’t have. - And of course there’s my co host @xavierjernigan. We agreed, we disagreed, we laughed and even cried. Thank you for supporting my level of vulnerability on and off the mic. - And then there’s #TheGetUpFamily. We woke up every morning aiming to uplift the spirits of those tuning in every morning. But it was their energy, their feedback and engagement that kept us going. - Hosting a morning show takes a toll not only on your physical, mental and emotional health but it also takes a toll on your relationships. Thank you to my friends, family and partner for supporting me and understanding when I couldn’t show up at my full potential. - On to the next chapter.

First time being back in front the camera in a very long time. And I couldn’t have asked for a better environment then @mtvnews Grammys Aftershow. - @theslaygawd legit is marvelous to watch at his craft as a host. Thank you for the invite. @luisalange & @tycoletv were the perfect panelists to be teamed up with. - 🛍: Necklace from @brooklynwarmi. Support indigenous women owned businesses

Catch me on Sunday past my bedtime at 11:15pm EST for the Grammy’s Aftershow with @mtv @mtvnews ___ Laughing it up with @tycoletv @luisalange & hosted by the one and only @theslaygawd

Back in 2014 I landed my first “real” job straight out of college as a Video Producer for @raceforward. It was an unreal moment to be producing videos for an organization focused on the advancement of racial justice. - My first day I wore an uncomfortable skirt and button up shirt thinking that’s the “proper” way to dress. Peak internalizing “respectability politics”. A term I never heard before but one of the many things I learned about while working at @raceforward. The second day I wore jeans and a t shirt. Never wore a button up shirt to work again. - Fast forward 7 years and @raceforward reached out for me to host their 40th Anniversary Virtual Gala. - Truly a full circle moment.
