December 2023/24 Updates

Yo! It's been a minute, but I'm back with a fire update on my December adventures. You know, that month where the weather gets frosty and the travel bug bites... hard! This time, it took me to two incredible places: the vibrant pulse of Dubai and the ancient mysteries of Egypt.

Sole DXB Reunion: Beats and Brotherhood

First stop, Dubai! And what better way to kick things off than at the legendary Sole DXB? This sneaker and music haven brought the heat, with sets from hip-hop heavyweights like Oddisee, Joey Badass, Soulja Boy, Big Daddy Kane, and Busta Rhymes. It wasn't just the music that got my heart pumping, though. Reconnecting with creative friends I hadn't seen in ages – a reunion for the books, you might say – made the whole experience even sweeter.

Pyramid Power: Wonders and... Watch Out!

Next, I ventured into the land of pharaohs and pyramids: Egypt! Seeing the Pyramids of Giza in person was mind-blowing. They were way bigger than I ever imagined, like something straight out of a movie. But heads up, fellow travelers: watch your back for scams. Unfortunately, it's a reality you gotta be aware of.

Stay Tuned for More Life Updates!

That's just a glimpse into my December whirlwind. Keep your eyes peeled for more life updates coming soon, straight from the source! I'm planning to document all my adventures, mishaps, and everything in between, right here. So, get ready for a wild ride!

Peace!

30, Fierce, and Full of Spice: My Dubai-Themed Birthday Extravaganza!

October's arrival marked a major milestone – turning the big 3-0! And what better way to celebrate than by showering myself and my loved ones with a little indulgence?

First things first, a Middle Eastern-inspired photoshoot right here in Plymouth. Talk about treating myself! It was a chance to embrace my heritage and capture some stunning portraits with a unique theme. Plus, it was just plain fun!

Next up, sharing my love for Dubai with the people who mean the most. I whisked my crew away to Akoya, a London restaurant filled with authentic flavors and vibrant vibes. Think epic Arabic dinner adventure, complete with delicious food, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.

But wait, there's more! To truly transport them to the heart of Dubai, I gifted them each a taste of the city: decadent chocolates, mini oud perfumes for that intoxicating scent, and, of course, sachets of my beloved Karak Chai to take home – pure joy was definitely served!

Now, with a heart full of gratitude, a camera roll full of stunning photos, and a spirit yearning for more adventures, I can't wait to see what unfolds in the next chapter.

So, let the journey continue.

Beyonce: The Renaissance Experience

My 9 year old self would be proud of me! 🐝❤️🥳🥳✅

When I was younger, Beyonce just like many others was my icon from the way she carried herself, to fashion style and music and I dreamt that one day I would see her perform live and I’m happy I got this chance to do it before I turned 30 later on this year!

Another great experience crossed off my bucket list and looking forward to continuing the celebrations with Devon & Plymouth Chamber Awards tomorrow evening, where myself and the chosen 30 Under 30 winners will be acknowledged and celebrated in a room with amazing people from around the city, who are making a difference in the city!

The road to 30 continues…. 👀🤪
