Not the best of shots but you get the point. And that is, s/he who finds their tribe, finds a good thing. Gorgeous evening this was with an incredible bunch of people. (so bril, kind and full of love). We were catching up on @eddiendopu's world travels and as per usual, he had us in the palm of his hands swooning over his magical radiance. This is the new standard for my Friday evenings. Great food, cocktails, laughs and lots of flirting/loving in between. And dreaming out loud too. Basically, all the ingredients for Winning At Adult. #squadgoals #keepgoodcompany #lovevillage

#blacklove is so decadent and magical. As my love says, a force big enough to move the stars!! #somedreamsaremadeforthree #lovesofmylife #ZuherWhirlwindandourblazeofGlory

I love the handful of the earth you are. Because of its meadows, vast as a planet, I have no other star. You are my replicavof the multiplying universe. Your wide eyes are the only light I know from extinguished constellations; your skin throbs like the streak of a meteor through rain. #PabloNeruda #soulmate #blackwitchlovechronicles❤

Been thinking all day what to say about/to her. And its a half past eight and I still don't have the words. But Meek and her Nick helped me out just a little! This girl with the big beautiful eyes has a heart ten times to the power of ten as big and beautiful!! She who finds a good friend to love on and be loved in return surely finds a good thing!! (The book of Black Sisterhood chapter 1:1). @princess_lollz, you are the friend I will work my whole life to deserve. Its been such a journey and this is exactly how I know that God wants us to keep walking. You are such an incredible gift to us. Honest yet tender. Strong yet so soft. So big in heart, mind and spirit yet you remain so unassuming. I love ALL that you are and your love is that much more yummy because you love me for ALL that I am!! You deserve more than I can say in an instapost at a quarter two eight. I know you are in class slaying so I hope @asanda_m will borrow you the fonzies so you can seesies!!

".. Kate Moss often says to me that I am the only performer around at the moment who deserves to be called a diva.That gets us arguing, seemingly a little too serious if anyone hears us. I hate that word diva. It’s been so abused! Every singer given a makeover or a few weeks on a talent show seems to be called a diva these days! Christ almighty. Where’s the exclusivity? It’s so commercial now. For me, a diva is like the great opera singer, the great film star – out of reach, in their own world, with a real gift for invention, attention-demanding performance artists with a flamboyant, compelling sense of their own importance, so special and inimitable it verges on the alien. And of course the word is usually used to describe an apparently erratic female whose temperamental qualities, survival instincts, and dedication to perfection are seen as weaknesses, as self-indulgent, not a strength. So, Kate, I am not a diva. I am a Jones!"- excerpt from Grace Jones' upcoming memoirs. Somebody needs to love me (and that person could be me) and hook a sistah up. Grace Jones is the GOAT.

Birthday blessings to the most amazing, most wondrous sister any girl could ever ask for! If I had to put down in words all the many reasons why I love you, I would have to "write a song, a hundred miles long." Thank you Nomz, for being the one who has always been riding for me the hardest! My first best friend and my loudest and most consistent cheerleader! You are a phenomenal mother, wife, sister, daughter, mentor, change maker and friend. Seriously, some days I don't even know how you are even real!! To know you is definitely to love you and anyone who doesnt agree obviously does not know you. Thank you for living out so loud and so good. You continuously inspire those around you to do the same. I would love you for ten lifetimes to the power of ten; you mean the absolute world to me. Thank you for everything that you are to all those whom you love so perfectly. You are deserving of your hearts desires and I am sending up prayers that all of your next birthdays have in store for you your best days yet! We are so blessed to enjoy your heart and you many gifts and talents to this world for another year. You are absolutely magical and I thank God for your life, sissy. Happy Birthday Nomz! You are so loved!! #blackgirlmagic #birthdaysarethebestdays 👑🎁🎉🎊🎈🎂
