I didn’t make a “New Year’s Resolution” last year.... I just made the decision to wake up every day and EXECUTE! There were days that were harder than others, but to look back at some of things I was able to be a part of is extremely rewarding! This next year is about going bigger and doing more! “There is no work so rude that man may not exalt it; no work so impassive that he may not breathe a soul into it; no work so dull that he may not enliven it.” -Henry Giles #StayTuned https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wl-iFBcc7/?igshid=h6enxxftx139

This year’s Soulful Noel has been SO special for so many reasons! It’s so crazy to think that 7 years ago when @iamquentintalley had a playful conversation about making Christmas music enjoyable, that it’d turn into all this! And I always get to do it with some of my favorite singers and musicians in the city! Thank you everyone! If you’ve come to a show, thank you! If you’ve been a part of a show, thank you! Tonight, we go out with a bang! 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾 (at McGlohan Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6WtMD4BPV5/?igshid=14zd9603omfr5

10 years old! Thinking back to the first day my parents brought him home, our family was instantly changed forever. Tank has seen my family and I through SO many transitions!

Happy Birthday! #LongLiveTank https://www.instagram.com/p/B6RG1LvBlnW/?igshid=1w5lbbk4xc928
