❤️ Crying…processing…shooketh. #forbes30under30 . Todays journal entry: My biggest dream just happened. One of my top goals just came true, and now my body is weak, and my head hurts in the best way possible, and I’m just trying to process how my life is going to change…well it’s changing every day but GAHT DAMN it’s a bout to go crazy now. I’m on the Forbes 30 under 30 list!!!!! The king of all young entrepreneurs lists in the WORLD, the list that’s harder to get into than HARVARD and I GOT IT! I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes thinking, “I’m so happy that I didn’t give up, despite all the people in life that told me to.” I’m grateful for the support that I was always able to find, whether it was feeling support by only one person, or feeling the support from millions (because honestly, the shift in “felling that support” can be so drastically different.) I’m gonna go blast “City Girls - Jobs” right now and get a fire Deliveroo order to celebrate right now. I’m still in shock lol, I can’t get over the names on that list. Next list I’m aiming for is the Forbes Billionaire list… I promise I won’t turn into a robot or lizard once I make it. Hahaaaaa.

💘 October was a magical month, I'm hoping that November continues to 'BUSS 🔥’ as well. October highlights: 🏆 Won 30 under 30!!! 🧜🏾 Starred in the final episode of @mermaidsgender She Said They Said. 👭🏾 Had my Black, feminist billboards placed all over town. Thank you @belen_fab18 for the live reaction lol, I love you so much! 💘 and thanks for that fire vid @evelinaeco ! ✊🏾 Chosen to be in @guapmag X @adidas BLACKLIST! (It's the Black '30 under 30,' so yea it hits different 🔥) 👩‍👧‍👦 Finally saw my mf siblings!!! @chai.na this list is in chronological order so that's why you're this far down. If it was in order by happiness you'd be the last one (joking, joking) 💕 Saw my bestie! (Brooklyn's finest: @lima718 AKA Hannah) Felt like I never left. That Mexican food made by Italians was fire! 🤣👏🏾😅 🌏 Having the best time of my life on this @ashnikko tour, with a team that is not only legendary, but hilarious and wild af!!! . ❤️ Can't wait to see all that November brings. So far I'm off to a amazing start. ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEGrWmIkO9/?utm_medium=tumblr

🥲 *about to cry* I’m currently getting ready to go perform on stage at @Terminal5nyc with @ashnikko and all that’s going on in my mind is ‘teenage Krystal would flip tf out right now. Like, actually lose it.’ This is my favourite venue in NYC. It was my first concert, first radio interview, first time I cried over music, one of my fav bonding times with my sister. The list goes on. Every time I was in the crowd I’d think 🤔🤩 ‘I wonder how it would feel performing on that stage, I wonder what the artist is seeing.’ Well, today I’m about to find out. “I’m having the best time of my life” ❤️#SOLDOUT (2013 me at Terminal 5 and getting ready to go with my sis.)

Then my heart exploded when I saw the amazing reaction to the series when it dropped!!! Lol I’m smiling mad hard typing this out.

BRUH!!! 😱 I won 30 under 30!!! Yesterday I posted about my last day at PinkNews and on my first day out I got the news that I’m officially a PPA 30 under 30 winner. I’m actually sitting at my desk with chills on my arm.  Second slide baby, that’s all I gotta say. PeriodT! Let’s go!!!! ❤️‍🔥 #PPA30 (I’m about to be hella boujee at the Barbican for the awards ceremony.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnBs4Qo792/?utm_medium=tumblr

😎 As of right now I am officially a full-time influencer and DJ! I was lucky enough to land my “dream job,” something I thought I’d hit in my mid-30’s or 40’s came crashing into me in my 20’s. I led a whole production team and actually smashed it. Did I sh*t myself every week while doing the smashing… absolutely, but was I able to lead this team to: * Perform in the top 1% of Snapchat * Win the DigiDay Video Team of the Year Award * Win The Drum Video Team of the Year Award *  Break @Pink_News history by leading productions highest performing year across the board (growth, revenue, views.)  * Develop their skills and figure out what their own career goals are …absolutely! 🔥 Mad right? I was so lucky to lead such a legendary team. I’ve learned so much from many people at PinkNews, more than I could ever imagine, maybe even too much 🤣 lol, but I am grateful for it all!  Now I’m off to start my new “dream job,” and that’s working for MYSELF BABY!!! This year I was able to bring in a following of +420 followers on my personal TikTok, including a sexy amount on YouTube. My plan is to continue teaching “stuff schools don't teach” on my platform and being a voice for my community through my partnerships, such as  @Amazon Prime, @DAZED, @TikTok_UK, and more. I’ll keep y’all updated with my new journey. I’m pretty nervous but I’m super excited! Thank you to everyone that’s helped me grow. Can't wait to let you in on what's coming up next! If you're looking for a freelance content creator or influencer/talent, then don't hesitate to reach out, I'm open for business!!! 🎉 Here’s a few of my fav moments at PN! (…I feel like slide 3, how about you?) (at Outside) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkYEDko2du/?utm_medium=tumblr
