Da Brat ran all over this song!!! I love it! And, if you don't think that Da Brat went hard on "Look At Me Now"...something is wrong with you! Lol. But, to hear this joint only makes me excited to hear more of Da Brat's new material!!!

Boemos Leopard Red Brick Oxford
These new Boemos Leopard Red Brick Oxfords are quite different! I love how they added the leopard pattern to the entire shoe & then moved the red brick sole in to make them pop!

My dreams of being a DJ.

Growing up...music became a best friend to me. And, while listening to all types of music and seeing different expression of it...I've often seen the DJ mixing and scratching records like there was no tomorrow. The DJ is usually running the show. And, the show is literally in the DJ's hands. With that being said...I've always loved the role that the "DJ" plays in music. The unique ways that they remix or shape a record is amazing to me. I love the different scratching techniques that are involved. The scratching & mixing is mind blowing to me. And, I can honestly say that I like what a REAL DJ does!

I love this! Not only because it features one of my favorite songs ever...BUT because Tiffany and Sean killed+worked it! They did their thing! I can't complain:)!

BHM Spotlight: The Oprah Winfrey Show

September 8, 1986 - Present
Currently Airs in 146 Countries
25 Seasons Aired

The Oprah Winfrey Show is one of the longest running daytime television talk shows in the U.S. Over the past 25 years, Oprah has always been the one to tackle everything from social issues to politics to pop-culture. I grew up watching Oprah and will say that it has brought nothing but positivity and enjoyment for us all + generations to come to remember for a lifetime.
