Celebrating another beautiful year of life! ✨

On April 27, I had the joy of celebrating my birthday in Nashville surrounded by incredible friends who flew in from Washington, D.C. and California to make the weekend truly unforgettable. After two weeks of traveling throughout Tennessee, it was the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and create meaningful memories with people I cherish.

I am deeply grateful for the love, friendship, and thoughtful gestures that made this birthday so special. Here’s to a new year filled with continued growth, purpose, and extraordinary experiences. 💛

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄

It has been a year full of change, challenge, growth, and deep reflection. In 2025 we saw important conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion evolve in workplaces and communities. Some of those conversations felt hard, others energizing, but all of them reminded me why this work matters. On The Jali Podcast we honored legacy, leadership, and voices that shape our world and I am grateful to everyone who listened, shared, and engaged with those stories.

Today I am taking a moment to rest, reflect, and focus on what is most important. I hope your day brings you peace, laughter, warmth, and connection with the people you love.

Merry Christmas from my heart to yours.
