The Road Not Taken

**Yesterday was Day 5 of the “My Life is Good” challenge. At the request of my brother Harold S Reed Jr. I am to post photos that bring me joy (no words or explanation) because we all need a little joy in our lives. Ten days, ten people - if I choose you, please continue this Dwight Thomas … I nominate you 😎 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmz7tAGu5GV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Last week’s Studio Reveal Party was a blast 🚀 @amuse.io and @recphilly I'm so excited for what is to come from this partnership! Check the link in my bio to see what we've worked on so far! #Philly #RECPhilly #Amuse #Sponsored #NoniRene #Sponsorship #IndependentDoesntMeanAlone #The✌🏾illageKid #TheVillageKid #Musician #IndependentArtist #BlackMusicMonth #✌️🏾illageMovement #NYC #NYCArtist (at REC Philly) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHpP6yuX3A/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🧿🔮 After checking-in with creatives, family, and friends, there seems to be a consensus that we're going through a shift, and we are tired. There are shared sentiments that it's been building up to this for a long time, and this is necessary - still, it's overwhelming. There's SO MUCH that can be said about everything that is currently happening and what led us to this point. ⚡Tonight, join me & my sis @bfree2music as we go live for an open convo about our experiences in our hometowns in the East Coast & Midwest. We hope to create a space to vent, and share insights & tips on how to best use our time, art and energy right now. If you want to take a moment and unplug, join us at 8pm/7c We'd especially love to hear from our fellow women of color 🙏🏾❤🖤💚 #BLM #✌🏾illageMovement #BPOC #IAm #WeAre #ItTakesAVillage #ItTakesA✌🏾illage #VillageMovement #Philadelphia #Brooklyn #Milwaukee #Unity #Umoja https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-5kvfB6lV/?igshid=1fqyh1vvipmce
