  1. GROUNDING-While I am floating in the excitement of such a great opportunity and receiving tons of energy from all directions, it’s important to be personally grounded in who you are. Attention is external. Gratitude is internal. I retreat inward with the Divine and give all the glory and continue to ask Him to use me for his Purpose. All God. 🙏

  3. We are happy to share with you Cola Boyy's new single "Babylon" with a video directed by Joey Frank. Matthew had reached out to Joey after seeing the video he had directed for MGMT. Says Joey's production: "The video debuts a year after Cola Boyy’s tragic and sudden passing. The dance and location and props and actress are pieced together from text thread about the video between director Joey Frank and Cola weeks and even days before the surprise of his death. We filmed the video in Oxnard as a thank you to Cola Boyy on the day that would have been his 35th birthday." His final studio album "Quit to Play Chess" will be out May 23 and is available for pre-order Follow @recordmakers for more updates about the release

  1. Is it a sin to date a non-Christian? What you worship is what you are willing to sacrifice for… when you date for the purpose marriage it’s important that what is at the center of your life is at the center of theirs. If not, the other person will not understand you because your identity and life stems from Jesus. #datingadvice #datingtips #dating #christian #christiandating

  1. Today was special. The @fayewebster Chess Invitational brought the city together for the coolest tournament Atlanta has ever seen. Tyler the Creator jumped in the bracket, and the energy was unmatched. Thank you ATL for making this morning unforgettable. ♟️🖤 Can’t wait to run it back for next year @fayewebsterinvitational x @atlantacheckmateclub

  2. Man when I was in highschool I didn’t even make the grades to get into a college like Morehouse…. Now I’m hired here to teach kids the game of chess and its many life lessons. This is so dope to me. The more chess players and critical thinkers in the world the better ♟️

  3. Best day of my chess life so far. It was an honor to be asked to be the Tournament Director for the 1st ever HBCU Chess Classic along side @mauriceashleychess. Such an awesome day for the game of chess and the culture. Met so many awesome people from all over the country and the Mayor of Atlanta even pulled up. Thank you @tbo_chesssociety for trusting me to run the tournament. I love being apart of this game and the growth of it ♟️

  1. “Fictions of Reality” @campillo_official FW25 // @patricio_campillo x @chino.castilla x @nicola.kast Words cannot express how fulfilling and emotional this show was for me. Much of my younger life was spent along the South Texas border in the Rio Grande Valley - just a few minutes away from Mexico. If you know my story, you know that so many Mexican families and individuals literally saved me and my family's life in many ways, and I am eternally grateful; while I can never repay all of you who did, I want to dedicate this one to you. 🙏 I'm so blessed to be able to represent the culture, the #956rgv, this breathtaking brand, and the incredible team that forged this beauty into reality. Puerto Rican and Filipino by blood but always Mexican at heart. 🇲🇽 ❤️ #NYFW

  3. Today is the fourth and final shared sequence from my last homework term of 2023. This time we have @tori_danger_rex Who is showing off a self made sequence with moves she's learned from the term! Tori has had UNREAL progress in just the short month we've been working together. Picking up moves faster than nearly anyone in the program, they spends the time not only to learn the moves, but also to make them super clean, as shown here. Spinning for 5 years now, their dedication only continues to increase! Go give them a follow on their page @tori_danger_rex and show some support for the clear hard work they've put in this term! If anyone is interested in info about my next homework term, shoot me a message and I will mark you down to receive information during the next sign up period this January! Newest episode of my free YouTube tutorial series "Creating Composite Patterns 3" is now available!
