Hey Everyone. So I have some very sad news. My beautiful car Mordecai has officially ended his journey with me. I was fortunate enough to celebrate 10 years with him as my first car on August 15th. 😕😢

At the moment, I am currently raising emergency funds to purchase another car to replace my baby. I’m trying to raise about $2,000. Please send your donations to my personal cash app and Venmo which is listed below as well as sharing this post.

Lastly, I will be celebrating Mordecai’s 10 years anniversary during my Halloween celebration on the 31st. It would mean the whole world to me if y’all would be there to celebrate with me.

Thank you 🙏🏿💐

Today marks the one year anniversary of the passing of my Grand✨MOM✨. The first person I actually called ✨MOM✨ before the name of grandma. Life hasn’t been the same without you and sometimes gets a little dark at times. However, I will always remember the verses you left me before passing. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” (Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬) and “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs‬ ‭17‬:‭22‬). I will always keep these in my heart and mind.

I’m really heartbroken that I can’t tell you everything that has happened to me within the past year like being a yoga instructor and an award winning filmmaker or the fact that Mordecai(my first car) will be celebrating 10 years with me next month. I miss hearing you cheering for me and my accomplishments. Just know I will continue to let my little light shine everywhere I go 💫✨

Rest in peace Grand✨MOM✨🥲🌻
