See you next week, Sunshines <3

We’re really in a season that is moving in multiple different ways. I’m always brought back to reality when the close people in my life go through changes. It’s been a wake up call to me that time is moving.

My brother who has been spending summer with me is going back to school, my close friend who moved to DC with me is moving out, and other things that I can’t disclose. It serves as a reminder to me to keep moving forward intentionally because time will pass regardless. It makes me reflect on the time that has gone by.

Washington Post Global Womens Summit

I’m loving this weather. I’ve been going for long walks, and I don’t feel like I’m as sun exhausted by the end of them.

Last weekend I went to the opening weekend of the Mubadala DC Open, and hiking with friends. That pretty much sums up the vibe that I’m loving this summer. Fun, cute, quaint, outside in nature, good vibes.

How are y’all feeling? I’ve loved having a chill week these past two weeks. I went to the cutest winery and vineyard last week, more details on my instagram. That’s the vibe of this summer: cute, intimate, fun experiences. I’m in my grown woman era and leaning more towards certain spaces than others.

I hope y’all stayed hydrated last week. I don’t know what was in the air, but it took my siblings and I out. It’s one thing to be sick when the weather is cold, and a whole different story when you’re sick and it’s hot. It almost seems counterintuitive. Feeling way better now though!

Some of y’all have known that I’ve been working on Janeese’s campaign for DC Mayor these past couple months, and to see our hard work pay off last night meant so much. I’m so proud of the campaign we’ve run, the team has worked SO SO hard.

We are in early voting season in DC. This is the most consequential election that DC has had in a decade. My vote for Mayor is going to Janeese Lewis George because she has a track record of putting people first and will continue to do so as Mayor. I got involved in her camapign because of her dedication to the people. She has garnered over 60+ endorsements, with over 10 union endorsements. This just tells you how much working people trust her. You can read more about her platform here.

I’m in Nigeria right now to celebrate my Grandmothers 90th birthday. Thanking God for her life 🙏🏾🙏🏾.

I’ve loved spending time with family this past week, and being fully present. Whenever I come back home to Lagos, my experiences always make me feel like I could write a book. Which I will when the time is right.

This also means that I’m without my laptop, so no cute formatting for today.

Huge shoutout to Dami, our awesome curator, who puts these event lists together each week for y’all!

Did y’all feel the mini heatwave yesterday? Fear not, we have some cooler weather from Thursday.

The DC Elections are coming up, and this year I’ve been super involved in politics. Some of y’all may have already received your mail in ballot. I became involved with Janeese Lewis George’s campaign for Mayor after learning that she was running to truly put people first, and her track record as Ward 4 Councilmember shows it.
