Hiya! I'm Margo, and I've got a for y'all. So, it's June, which means its . Over the years, I've collected a lot of different pride stickers on my guitar case, mainly from an event called . Think of it like a giant rainbow market. I was also given several of these by , a nonprofit focused on supporting youth that have lost their family due to prejudice.

Two of my favorites were given to me by my sisters. This one says the sheep of the family, which makes me chuckle when I see it. There's also a blue Voltzwagen bug with the statement "sounds gay, I'm in!" which unironically has become part of my lexicon. I have several different all over my case and it honestly brings me . I love how my guitar case is! Happy y'all 💕

I got my book into my first brick-and-mortar store! You can get your copy of "Sincerely" today by going to Angel's Garden at
1208 North 12th Avenue over in the East Hill neighborhood of Pensacola, Florida.

Not only that, but you can check out my Mom's book, "Letters of a Traveling Architect." While her book covers my Great-Grandfather's travels through Europe and North Africa in 1925, mine follows my own journey recreating his photographs 100 years later.

Can you believe it's already been a month since my book published? When I got my first copy in my hands, it felt like I was giving a hug to my younger self. I have wanted to publish a book since I was 10 years old and first got into . Now, 14 years later, I am standing with my very own published in my hands. It's surreal, to be honest.

I know I have already said this ad nauseam, but I seriously cannot thank my family, friends, and fans for helping me through this process. I wanted to take this time to highlight some of the amazing people that helped me get to this point:

My Mom, who was not only my chief on this project, but my strongest confidant. I wouldn't have been able to get through this process had she not published her own years prior. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me get to where I am now, and I couldn't be luckier to have the greatest mom in the world.

My eldest sister, Madi, who taught me how to lay out my book in and gave me several creative ideas when it came to the placement of my . The book looks monumentally better directly thanks to her contributions.

My Dad and my middle sister, Martine, who were big cheerleaders as I was writing, editing, designing, and this book. I seriously could not thank them enough for their support. I am lucky to be so loved.

My friends, namely Frannie, Doc, and Zakara, who helped me review my and who I consider my beta readers. I am so lucky to have such an incredible community of not just the best on the , but truly good friends who have helped me become the woman I am today.

And lastly, to all of you this. Everyone that has liked a post, left a comment, or shared my helped me as I was dealing with the frustrations of the publishing process because it felt like there was a larger community I was doing this for rather than just for me. Knowing there were so many people cheering on my success really helped when I was getting close to the finish line and just wanted it to be over already.

I cannot thank all y'all enough. I have in my hands because of your support. Thank you 💕

Hiya! I'm Margo, and I've got a for y'all. So for those who don't know, I am a proud alumni of the , or . We're known for our mascot, Argie the Argonaut and our cute critters, Sheldon the turtle, Albie the albino squirrel, and of course, the .

My really grew during college because I was a member of the Street Team, basically a group of students that create social media content for the University. As part of the team, I had to attend a bunch of different events like Tacos and Totes, the Global Quarter, headphone headbanger, dates and skates, the Global Block Party, and so many more that to be honest, I forgot what event these were for. I also went to a bunch of different sporting events, hence all the stickers with sporty slogans, and I was in the art department, hence the stickers.

Oh, and this one! Every Spring, they have an event called Take Back the Night that brings awareness to domestic violence. I performed at their event my Junior and Senior year and they gave me these stickers as a little thank you. It feels like a badge of honor.

I'm glad I took all those stickers because now, I can look at my and remember all the memories I made while completing my undergrad. I might have graduated a few years back, but I'll always be an .

And we haven't even gotten to the ! I'll be honest, when I stopped in to do this video, they gave me a white chocolate blackberry latte to review and let me tell you, I'm usually not a person, but this was delicious! Y'all got me to like *coffee*, that literally hasn't happened before. 10/10, would stop by again, especially with their packed social calendars every month!

Welcome to the ABC's of , where I share my favorite spots around the City of Five Flags! Today, we are on the letter B which I couldn't decide on just one place to highlight, and I don't want to limit myself through this series, so there will be several letter B episodes. I guess this makes this B part 1, where we are at B Side Pcola, the outdoor bar that around back of Vinyl Music Hall. It's wild to think I had my first paid here about a year ago, and let me tell you, their staff is awesome. Everyone is super friendly and helpful, and of all the places I've played, they were some of the most professional when it came to managing their .

Besides their support for the local , they also have some wickedly talented bartenders and a large selection of .

At pretty much every and open mic I attend, I get at least one question about the stickers. So, I want to highlight a few of my favorites and share their stories!

Obviously I have stickers from businesses I've played or visited, but a few of them highlight important landmarks like the sign, another beach sign, ANOTHER beach sign, the beach itself, and a giant version of the save-a-chick sign you'll find in nature preserves around the area. This way, no matter where I go, I always have a little bit of with me.
