In this episode, I hold space to honor the bold and beautiful legacies of my best friend, Meghan Victoria Leroy, and my grandmother, Wela Sefa—two women who shaped me long before I had the words for who I was becoming. Their birthdays are this month, and this is my offering to them.

Meghan taught me what it means to live presently and loudly—to be bold, to dance, to wear bright colors, and to say exactly what’s on your mind without apology. She’s the reason I choose to live life by my own rules and why the color orange became my anchor in grief.

Wela Sefa showed me the power of chosen family. She took my mom and I in without question after my dad died, and taught me how to build community rooted in joy, faith, and belonging. She’s why I know what it means to show up for people — and why coffee and dominoes will always feel like home.

We dive into what it means to reclaim safety as women in a world not built for us. I share personal lessons from both of them on self love, boldness, and creation and how those lessons continue to fuel my healing, my creativity, and my womanhood today.

How are you showing up boldly? Who are you choosing as family? And what legacy are you cultivating with your life?

Let’s sit with that, together.

Cheers to channeling your inner Meghan and Wela Sefa. 🌻✨

In this episode, I hold space to honor the incredible legacy of my aunt, Gethzayda Cruz —Titi Tundra, aka Red T. Her love, intention, and community-centered spirit shaped me and so many others, and I reflect on how her legacy continues to inspire my own.

We dive into the difference between building a brand—curated and immediate—and cultivating a legacy—the stories and impact that live on long after we’re gone. I share personal lessons from Red T’s selflessness, reflections on nurturing relationships in every area of life, and actionable ways to channel that energy into your own connections.

How are you nurturing your relationships? Who inspires your legacy? Let’s reflect, connect, and build something lasting—together.

Cheers to channeling your inner Red T. 🌟
