If you know me, you know I love a visual aid! Here are the ones I made for my @eatdrinksofab chat yesterday on Food Writing in the Influencer Era. Would’ve done a slideshow, but these were more reliable. 🪧

Sunday Son Day Funday with my bestie Franklin! Snowballs at the Brother Martin snowball stand, my @eatdrinksofab chat, @tractorsupply to see baby animals, and @blueoakbbq. Blessed to be able to do this. 👩‍👦

TODAY from 4-5 at SOFAB! 🍚 Excited to be talking about food writing in the influencer era at the inaugural @eatdrinksofab Writers Festival sponsored by @dominosugar! 💚 Admission is $11, but the museum is super cool! 🎟️

GEAUX VOTE if you haven’t already! Use the @louisianasos GeauxVote app or visit geauxvote.com to make sure your polling place is the same and get a preview of your ballot. 🗳️ And next time, do early voting!

My goodness, @walmart! The ads cutting up on my sweet innocent @facebook! 🫣🤣😳

The @archdioceseofno’s 404 page cracked me up! 🤣 That said, I’m lemon hunting Monday! Midas whale. I really miss that sweet Black lady on Elysian Fields with her St. Joseph’s altar. I feel like I messed up by not taking one from her altar back in 2017. 🍋

Outside for the first time since Carnival! Celebrating Dr. @alicia.l.battle and @brandant2k60 and @morebang4urbuck_ too! ☘️ 🥃

My girl @whatspoppinnola got me wanting to throw a block party! 🥳 Here are the deets! Hella exclusive. ⭐️ You’re VIP if you’re a real estate investor who buys properties to make them short term rentals. Special treat if you’re flipping! 💫 Still very much invited if you bought a property with the intention of using it for short term rentals. At ANY point. “Usually I keep it for friends, but sometime I put it on AirBnB” YEP Y’ALL TOO. ✨ Absolutely on the list if you sell properties with the intention that buyers will AirBnB them. 🫶🏾 If you are visiting and stay in a STR, sorry but you’re NOT invited to the block party. It’s not your fault that staying in New Orleans in a hotel can be so challenging. Our public transportation is lacking, hotels charge so much to park, etc. Hopefully that can change, because that definitely makes the STRs more attractive. 👋🏾 If you’re lucky enough to be invited, go ‘head and block me, baby. This block party is brought to you by @janeplace_communitylandtrust, @louisiana_fairhousing and @nolarentersrightsassembly.

Congrats to @senseihesu on @blerdfestnola! It’s so important for Black youth especially to know that they aren’t a monolith! There are Black nerds too, and it’s not “white people sh*t” to enjoy things outside of BET and Q93. Be your lovely BLACK self! 💜🖤🤍 That said, pull up on my mans an’em! Saturday, April 1, from 11-6 at our alma mater, @mcdonogh35. ✊🏾

“Hey mom, I don’t feel good. I’m super sneezy and I just feel really sick. My arms feel droopy.”- my best bud, yesterday after school He’s very much vaccinated (thank you, @michoudpharmacy!) so it’s mild. Also his second time getting it within months, second time ever in life. And he don’t be outside like that! Despite what y’all think, IIIII don’t be outside like that. So, in the words of @fatjoe, COVID was definitely out there! 😷 Anyway, lemme get this quarantine in order. Gotta send texts to cancel a few lunches smh. Posting this to let y’all know that the ‘VID is very much still around, and breaking through all the vaccines and hitting even the healthiest of horses. If you think it might be seasonal allergies or a lil cold, take a test.

This is so sweet! 🥰 A nice lady emailed me to compliment me on my @bonappetitmag article on gumbo. Also, she shared that she met her husband at Piggly Wiggly in Algiers. IDK how much I believe in love for me personally, but I love folks’ stories. 💓

FYI, my main @instagram, @megandoesnola, is down. IDK exactly why. 😩 Got an email from them last night to change my password (yes, from Instagram) and all was cool for a while. Went to post later and now they are talking about some 24 hours to verify my account IDK. 😒 They make it so hard on @creators sometimes. Meanwhile, I got scammers and strumpets all in my stuff — we ALL do. 🙄
