it was all a dream, I used to read ✨@essence✨ magazine. so honored to be included in the July/August 2024 issue of Essence Magazine, which is an affectionate love letter to New Orleans during the 30th anniversary of @essencefest. a very special thank you to Essence for highlighting all of the historians, creatives, entrepreneurs + leaders that make our city so vibrant and beloved! nobody does it quite like us, but you knew dat. ⚜️ #EssenceFest #Essence #NewOrleans #NOLA #LetDatGirlEat
