#approvedarmy

this look gave me scooby doo. and i’m honestly still trying to solve the “rona” mystery so it’s fitting. i’ve been reading a lot (as I always do) and i find the timing of all of this to be strange. several CEOs have stepped down since last year at the height of their company’s successes. the election is underway and voting times have now changed. people have shown their truest colors in a time of panic and despair. honestly, it’s disturbing how humans have become so self-absorbed and truly misinformed about what is going on but I have a video to discuss how to combat these things (and more) in my bio. i just have one ask right now: let’s practice EXTREME generosity! 💚 you hear of someone in need dont turn the other way - extend a helping hand. shout out @wearetransformation for the word Sunday morning. it’s been weighing heavily on my heart to share. stay up, army! #loveyallfr #sammyapproved #approvedarmy #combatcorona https://www.instagram.com/p/B91vyJEAT_D/?igshid=2zp0s05dl8oq

Pink camo bape nails with the flames cause it’s lit! Representing for the #approvedarmy 💕🥳 We’re celebrating 5 years tomorrow with YOU! Nails 💅🏽: @txtphan Edit: @anhu_dos + #vobconsulting . . . Honestly really uncertain how we came up with #approvedarmy or when that happened but I know it started with my camo obsession and later I realized how hard each of YOU ride for me. No matter what I do, I can count on you to support me. My pal name (from Howard) was Soulja Girl for shits and giggles but it’s so fitting. The following year I crossed AKA and I was given the line name Bulletproof which literally speaks to my resilience. Years later, #sammyapproved became a platform for me to do what I have been doing all along. Something people saw in me from the beginning. My loyalty, resilience and willingness to fight for my community with the support of my people. Thank you so much for constantly believing in me when I don’t believe in myself. Literally every single person who’s still here supporting you have no idea how grateful I am for you. Whether you’re just joining or you’ve been here since we launched in 2015, I am so happy to have you along for the ride. Often times, I’m in disbelief at how I’ve been able to organically form a community of people who see this light in me that finally, 5 years later, I am owning. It’s BIG, BIG UP from here! No doubt about it. I’ve succeeded and I’ve failed at this time and time again and to know that I’ll always have such a strong support system means the most to me. If you’ve read this far, I can’t wait to see you tomorrow and hopefully I don’t cry by the end of the night. Head to @approvedevents for event details! Love y’all fr. #sammyapproved 💚 #approvedevents #nailart #bapenails (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82NP-4gcrJ/?igshid=1v4mt1vnhq72m

feeling so icy ❄️ baby’s first tour started a few days ago 📸: @t3vinj . . . If you know me, you know i love a challenge. I enjoy pushing myself to try new things. My fourth quarter challenge is to be an assistant road manager for two months. Just two shows in and I must say being apart of the #sketchbooktour in support of my sis @thebonfyre is nothing short of an amazing experience already. Being surrounded by such talented stars each day is sooo inspiring. I am extremely grateful for friends like @pia.zecozi and @eboneshardae who remind me every day why i’m here and that I belong. I will not share everything because I’m learning and growing so please respect my privacy (and no requests cause I don’t have tickets. lol go support and buy!) I will share some fun shit from the road that I’ve been documenting with the team. . . . Also, I am not accepting any interview requests until 2020. Feel free to email me to schedule a phone consultation, book me to produce content, host/moderate your next event, and inquiries regarding brand partnerships and collabs. Thank you for your support! 💫 Talk soon! 💚 #sammyapproved #approvedarmy #thebond🤞🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3z_zEeA5sh/?igshid=6zs2osgxl8oa

I’ve been so into my feels lately just reflecting on the many blessings right here in the present and the ones to come - I forgot to share more about my lovely weekend with you guys. #summit21 • • • Grateful for my sister-friend @savannahnia for tickets to @21ninety Summit 21 last weekend! I saw my girl @karrueche and needed to hear her story of resilience and self love and care. Also saw @mstinalawson speaking on the importance of investing in art, being a mom and the sacrifices she’s made. Great meeting all of the women who truly look to build a community of thought leaders and entrepreneurs! Y’all keep me inspired. ✨ Til next year! #sammyapproved #approvedarmy #approvedevents https://www.instagram.com/p/Byn0UmyAUUu/?igshid=16ac8lwyzfhh9

Aligned with purpose and passion and I couldn’t be more grateful! If you haven’t quite found your purpose, don’t worry it WILL find you! Keep fueling your passions & stay focused. The #approvedarmy is stronger than ever and your support means the world to me! 💚 #sammyapproved • • • Thanks @comfiart for having me! The conversation around protecting #atlanta artists and taking ownership of our spaces is so important and I’m happy to have been at the center of the discussion. We must continue this conversation and find solutions on how to protect our culture, its’ history and our art as we continue to create! I left inspired and full of fire to make this happen. Thank you to all of the artists and entrepreneurs involved who are doing this everyday. You all inspire me!
