As we close out the day that you were born, I hope that you feel both celebrated and loved immensely. there’s plenty to say, however I’m grateful that every day is an opportunity to express my appreciation, admiration, and love for you. 🤍 • Who knew that being born and raised an only child would lead us to each other to do life with ?! I’m grateful for how our lives have turned out thus far and I’m eager to witness what we’ll become in the future. 💁🏾‍♀️ • You have reached a quarter of century, I pray that the Lord will cause you to accelerate swiftly in all areas of your life. May you never know what failure is because success will always be your portion. Thank you for being the one who really is ten toes solid, having my back with joy. 🤎 • As this song says if you ever need a call to make you already know who to make it to. To the one who carries it on her back and delivers it to the table in excellence, to the one who perseveres and is resilient through and through, and to the one we’ve yet to finish celebrating 😊🤭- Happy Birthday Sister, I Love You 💖

This Year, “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Your Wrath”. • 🤍

Baby girl, t’es spéciale 🤍 J’ai tellement des projets écrivent juste pour nous Comme visiter les étoiles • I don’t think anyone understands how grateful I am to have stepped into a year of so much abundance, especially that of which I’ve experienced for myself and witnessed for others for the first half of this year. God is truly so kind, and I’m thankful to be a living testimony to His kindness. • I could assure you that life with Christ is 100x better than a life lived without Him or Kingdom community. Since I was a child, I’ve been traveling the world solo, and now to be brought across the globe for @theluminouslab within the same few months I’ve taken it seriously is evidence that the Lord was waiting on my yes to His proposal. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 • Excited for what’s to come! Thank You, ABBA! 🫶🏾 • • • #ArielsVentures #FocusOnYourFocus #TravelBloggerVibes #ParisianBlogger #BelieveJesus

This June, remember that you’re the exception to the rules • Cheers to a Jovial June 🤍

J’suis tellement fier, tellement fier Je dors enfin la nuit et j’vis ma meilleure vie T’as retourné la mer, le ciel et la terre 🤎 • Y’all, I’m so empowered by this 2024 version of myself, and I honestly see the tenacity of my Mother written all over the woman I’m becoming. I remember living a lifestyle where whether things went as desired or not, I’d uncomfortably settle with the outcome and hope for the best next time. However lately, I’ve been yielding to my Mother’s voice as an echo chamber encouraging me to try again and go back to retrieve what is rightfully mine.🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 • “Young people, enjoy your youth. Be happy while you are still young. Do what you want to do, and follow your heart’s desire. But remember that God is going to judge you for whatever you do. Don’t let anything worry you or cause you pain. You aren’t going to be young very long.” - Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 {Verse of the Season} 💭 • With that said, tickets to this new chapter of my life have now officially been SOLD OUT! 🎟️ • From Paris, With Love, Your One & Only Arie 🫶🏾 • • • • • #ArieInParis #ReinventYourself #EnjoyThisLife #ThankfulHeart #TwentyFine #QuietLuxury #TravelBloggerLife #FranceTourisme #DressWell #BeEmpowered

May 2024 will be one written in the books as a month to remember for life 🤍 • Keep hope alive and smile along the way, friend 🙏🏾 • I truly thank Christ Jesus for sustaining me throughout this month and making it so easy going. Then He closed out the month opening gates I couldn’t have done on my own- I’m grateful. Be hopeful, family. Your time is either here or near. Celebrate others along the process and you’ll see what happens for you 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽

Le’w Ayisien Wa Konpran 🇭🇹 • Ayiti, La Perle des Antilles, Peyi Liberté, Manman Indipendans, Lakou Lakay- we didn’t haphazardly earn these titles, stay around these multi-hyphenates for a moment and you’ll bear witness to the art we as a people are- from our resilience to our language and ofc the sound of music that unites us regardless of faith or social class. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 • This Haitian Heritage Month is one I’ll remember for a lifetime for many reasons beyond what this post is able to depict, but I’m confident that this’ll show you a glimpse of what I experienced in the month we celebrate, honor, and pay homage to our cultural identity. Onè, Respè to those who made it possible for us today. 🤍 Major shoutout to the OG The Haitian Times for making Bonbonche Festival a success and allowing us to participate in the excitement! • • • • #AyitiPapKanpe #KanalLaPapKanpe #AyitiCherie #AyitiCherie509 #AyitiSakApFet #NouLaPiRed #HaitianHeritageMonth 🇭🇹

Happy Mother’s Day to all my Haitian & Francophone women • To the phenomenal women who raised me, the ones who refined me and showered me with l’amour sans cesse, and taught me how to share that same love in an amplified way. To these women, I express my gratitude, my honor, and my love. • To my Mommy, thank you for being my favorite of them all 🤍

We really leaped into Q2 with exciting news and here’s one that’s already been publicized! 🤍 • The Luminous Lab is honored to announce our selection as a 2024 Black Girl Ventures Emerging Leaders Fellow! 🎉 This prestigious fellowship opportunity seamlessly aligns with our commitment to fostering economic mobility and social impact within our global community of first-generation visionaries. 💁🏾‍♀️ • This win & the focus that I’ve poured into @theluminouslab within the past quarter and the current one echoes a reminder of Proverbs 4:25-27, “Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.” I truly Thank the Lord for being my Helper and ushering me into success. 🥇 • With this fellowship spanning major cities like LA, NYC, Chicago, and Austin, @blackgirlventures has been so intentional in ensuring that our cohort bonds well and regularly. I’m honored to share this win alongside a host of hand-selected, pioneering Black & Latina women in my city. Many thanks to Black Girl Ventures! 🙏🏾 • If you’re interested in how you, too, can be part of this incredible work feel free to learn more about the impact on the horizon of Black Girl Ventures at blackgirlventures.org. • #BGV #EmergingLeaders #Empowerment #CommunityImpact #SocialEngineering #EconomicMobility #BlackWomenInBusiness #NYCBusinessOwner

My slogan for Q2 is to be wealthy, timely, and wise! What are you doing with your time today? This is for those who saw a successful Q1 and even a rocky one. Remember that mishaps are opportunities for redemption, my darling. 🤍 • #TimeIsPrecious #BeResilient #PrioritizeYou

If you only leave with one takeaway, let it be the lesson found in the last slide. Happy Good Friday 🤍🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 • #GoodFridayAppeal #HolyWeek #ResurrectionSunday #JacobsLadder #AngelsOnEarth

The Verse I’m Standing On For Miracle March: “The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart. Day and night I’ll stick with God; I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.” - Psalms 16:8 🙏🏾 • First quarter has exposed me to the Father who truly chooses me- like I’m really my Dad’s “it girl”, His most preferred, a whole King’s daughter and because He reminds me that I am the “Good Thing” He has given me the confidence to think way past what the confines of my eyes can see! Do you have vision for beyond today?! Tap in! This is my season of the K A I R O S V I S I O N & it’s not limited to me alone. 🗣️ • Btw, ya girl got her silk press and color retouch by my trusted @curlydimensionssalon - it was THAT good that I had to post these bathroom selfies w. the ring light for the win! & did someone say hangtime?!🥇😂 Book Maxine if you can! 💁🏾‍♀️ • FR, I was surprised at the growth within 3 months but it makes sense bc when you prioritize health in any area of your life, you will bear fruit to the intended growth. 🌱 • Note: Miracle March has consistently been the time where my confessions are planted as seeds and sprout all year round as the harvest. We’re at the tail end of the quarter - anything could happen in your favor. Confess correctly & Get ya faith currency up! 😉🤍 • • • • #HonorYourself #BlackFashionBloggers #NYCFashionBlogger #RememberWhoseYouAre #KingdomWoman #CelebrateYourLife #BlackWomenInLuxury #ReadyToWearCollection #TheDiaryOfOutfits #BlackGirlsWhoBlog #OutfitInspiration #WhatIWore #WomenInBusinessClub

What a privilege it is to be chosen by my community as one of @caribbiznetwork ‘s Caribbean Boss Ladies for 2024 on International Women’s Day! 🤍 • 🇭🇹🇯🇲I’ve always thought myself to be the best hybrid to come from Ayiti & Jamdown, Lakou a & di Yaad. The resilience in our history and the waves we’ve made culturally is a testament to how necessary we are in this world. There are many phenomenal women amongst us who have before and are currently pioneering to move the needle in a favorable direction for those who come from our beautiful Caribbean islands, and I’m esteemed to be counted amongst them. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 • With all that said, I’m incredibly humbled to be recognized for #WomensHistoryMonth as one of 150 #CBNBossLadies !
