45. ❤️

There’s something beautifully full-circle about celebrating this birthday with “Feliz Me Siento,” one of my favorite vieja salsa songs.

The song is a man’s declaration of love and appreciation for a woman who brings peace, comfort, love, and happiness into his life.

But somewhere along the way, I started hearing it differently.

I started hearing myself.

Because at 45, I can look at the life I’ve built and recognize the woman who has been there through every single chapter of it.

Me.

I’ve learned how to give myself peace. How to protect my joy. How to create softness after hard seasons. How to take myself places I dreamed of seeing, give myself beautiful experiences, celebrate myself, provide for myself, and build a life that genuinely feels good to live.

That doesn’t mean I don’t value love from other people. I absolutely do.

It means I no longer need someone else to create within my life the things I’ve learned to give myself.

So when I’m belting out:

“ESTA CANCIÓN ES PARA TI, MI LINDA MUJER!”

“This song is for you, my beautiful woman.”

I mean that s**t.

This song is for HER.

The woman who survived some things.
The woman who healed some things.
The woman who learned some things.
The woman who had to let some things and some people go.
The woman who still laughs loudly, loves deeply, dances freely, dreams bigger, and keeps choosing herself.

At 45, I’m not celebrating perfection.

I’m celebrating becoming.

The woman I was.
The woman I fought to become.
The woman I am today.
And the woman I haven’t even met yet.

Esta canción es para ti, mi linda mujer. ❤️

y soy yo.

As we build up to J’ouvert morning at , take a few minutes to learn about the history of the Jab (Jab Jab) and what helped shape mas in Grenada as we know it today. Understanding where these customs come from makes the experience even more meaningful.

Have fun. Celebrate. But also take time to honor the history, resilience, and culture behind it. ❤️🖤

PARAÍBA 💎💙
Some gems redefine beauty.

Inspired by the rare Paraíba tourmaline, this section shimmered with electric blues and hues of green, reminding us that Carnival is wearable art. Every feather, every stone, and every detail came together to celebrate the brilliance of this extraordinary gem.

To the Toronto Revellers | Toronto Carnival Band , thank you for the warmth, the energy, and the incredible welcome during my very first Caribana. You made this experience one I’ll never forget.

A heartfelt thank you to Tneisha for trusting me to represent Paraíba. It was an honor to bring this stunning section to life, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Toronto Carnival.

Here’s to first experiences, beautiful memories, and many more roads ahead. 🇨🇦💙

Some places become a part of your story.

For me, that’s Saint Lucia. 🇱🇨❤️

Every year I come back for the culture, the people, the music, and the road. And every year, my love for is reinforced.

From the costumes to the events to the overall road experience, they continue to deliver one of my favorite Carnival experiences anywhere in the Caribbean. It’s why I keep coming back.

But this trip was about more than Carnival.

It felt like a rebirth.

The last few years brought challenges I never imagined. Moments that tested my peace and made me question who I was becoming.

From Sugar Mas to Lucian Carnival…

Somewhere between the music, the road, the laughter, and simply allowing myself to be present… something shifted.

I came home with a renewed mind, a lighter spirit, and apparently… a body of a st****er. 🤣🤣🤣

More than 50 pounds gone.
A healthier body.
A clearer mind.
A stronger woman.

What’s surprised me the most isn’t the weight loss. It’s realizing that growth changes everything. What you tolerate. What you prioritize. The people you surround yourself with. Even the dreams you have for yourself.

To everyone who’s been following this journey, whether you’ve been here for years or just found my page, thank you. Thank you for celebrating the highs, encouraging me through the lows, and allowing me to share these moments with you.

As for the people who spent years hoping I’d stay stuck…

I’m sorry.

I evolved.

And trust me… I’m just getting started. ✨

All’s well that ends in celebration.”

Every story has its final act.

For two days, Entangled stepped from Shakespeare’s enchanted forest onto the roads of Saint Lucia. Inspired by A Midsummer Night’s Dream, she carried the vines that bind us, the serpents that tempt us, the webs that ensnare us, and the magic that reminds us that not everything is as it seems.

Now the curtain falls.

The music fades. The road comes to an end. The final pages are written.

But that’s the beauty of carnival. We don’t just wear costumes, we bring stories to life, if only for a moment.

Thank you, Xuvo Carnival, for letting me tell this one.

Until the next tale… 🎭✨

Every story begins with a transformation.

Today, I’m showing you exactly how to put on Entangled, because every piece has a purpose.

Inspired by Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where a single enchantment turns love into confusion and illusion into reality, Entangled is more than a carnival costume. Every vine, every web, every serpent, and every shimmering detail helps tell the story.

Before we bring the magic to the road, we have to build the character.

Come get ready with me as we transform into Entangled. 🎭🕸️🐍✨

The greatest transformation isn’t the weight I’ve lost.

It’s the peace I’ve protected.

It’s choosing experiences over distractions, growth over comfort, and continuously becoming the woman I know I’m capable of being.

Every trip to Saint Lucia reminds me why I keep coming back. The people, the culture, the warmth, the beauty… there is something truly special about this island that feels like home every time I visit.

If Saint Lucia isn’t on your travel list yet, let this be your sign. Come immerse yourself in the culture, meet some of the kindest people you’ll ever encounter, and experience this incredible island for yourself. 🇱🇨✨

My first-ever Bermuda Carnival is officially in the books, and all I can say is… what took me so long?

This year I crossed the stage with Nova Mas in NERA, a masterpiece designed by Douglas John as part of the band’s Watch the Throne presentation.

Inspired by the power, prestige, and permanence of ancient kingdoms, NERA represents a crown earned through strength, legacy, and presence. The rich gold detailing speaks to wealth and royalty, while the brilliant sapphire blues command attention like precious stones reserved for rulers. Every jewel, feather, and intricate piece of craftsmanship embodies the idea that true power isn’t simply inherited—it’s forged. NERA wasn’t just a costume; it was a statement. A reminder to take up space, stand tall, and own your place in the world.

And what a place to wear it.

Going into Bermuda, I honestly had no expectations. I had heard people say it was beautiful, but nothing prepared me for experiencing it myself. The turquoise water, the pink sand beaches, the dramatic rock formations, and some of the friendliest people I’ve encountered anywhere in the Caribbean completely won me over.

One of my favorite moments was rolling through the roads as the trucks passed between the massive rock walls carved into the landscape. There was something magical about hearing the music echo off the stone, the bass bouncing back through the corridor while masqueraders danced between cliffs and sea. It’s one of those experiences that photos and videos simply cannot capture.

Now let’s talk reality: Bermuda is expensive. 😂 Everything is imported, and your wallet will absolutely notice. If you’re planning to come, start saving early, plan ahead, and choose your crew wisely.

But was it worth it?

Without question.

10/10. No notes.

I can’t believe I spent years talking myself out of this trip. Bermuda Carnival has officially earned a permanent place on my calendar, and barring anything unexpected, I’ll be back on the road in 2027.
