good morning world! i’m incredibly breath taken. besides having a wonderful time having writing workshops and sharing words with the students of UCSD, the folks over here have graciously housed me in the most incredible rooftop suite, a place I still cannot believe i’m in! the things dreams are made of, similar to what I’ve been daydreaming of since Miami last year.

i’m constantly surprised and taken aback by where following my dreams has taken me. i can’t believe being an artist has brought me here. i’m steadily following the course i’ve laid out on my vision board, and the universe seems to surprise me every now and then by a reality better than what i’ve imagined. feeling so blessed (and blissed)!
penthouse 2!
But of course, what’s a beautiful penthouse suite without lovely company? I mean, “it ain’t no fun…if the homies can’t have none”, so I invited over some lovely folk to share the love! (Photos below by Chris Rafie and Kirstie Mah, who make it look like we’re in a movie! haha.)

Kamina and I- my friend of over 14 years! 
roll like the ballers do
Zar of Pnoy Apparel, who gave me these goodies here!
i’m feeling pretty darned happy, and soaking these moments in. thanking God every day for every blessing he’s placed on my path.
and now to quote Mr. Carter:
young money (not quite yet, but you know…),
Miss Ruby, Babay!
Cause I’mma boss!
