I love this first picture. The moment before that photo is Andre and me sitting on a little wooden deck over looking the ocean in Malibu. We were having our first, of many, deep conversations…. when out of a nowhere a big wave splashes the rocks below us, and we get hit! We get so startled that we jump up and run off the deck…..and then crack up laughing. We were shooting the Beach House episode.
I will remember all the advice you gave me. I will remember all the times we laughed because your laugh was one of the all time greatest laughs to have ever existed. I will remember the deep love and loyalty you had for your family. I will remember it every time I ask work to make time for me to be with my family. I will remember how you sent me pictures of Fall trees in NJ because you knew how much I missed that time of year back east. I will remember you calling me Melly Fumé. I will remember so much.
I really thought I’d see you again.
My deepest condolences to Andre’s family, to Ami, to the boys, and to all his friends and loved ones. It was an honor to be in your orbit for a time, Sir.
May you Rest in Peace my friend.

Ya know… I always say it’s good to know your strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes you learn those weaknesses on a tv show with millions of people watching. Sometimes you learn that you’re not that great with…. I don’t know… let’s say; random trivia… as much as you thought you were. Or maybe you had a feeling, but just wanted to confirm it ya know? For the sake of knowing yourself a little better. And sometimes you learn you’re really bad at pushing a button. Sometimes we learn those new nuggets about ourselves when we least expect it. ITS ALL ABOUT GROWTH PEOPLE. Ya know what it’s also about??!!Getting $30k for charity. 😎✌🏽

My great aunt Gisela passed away a few weeks ago. Rumor has it she was 99, but she never told anyone her age so we’ll leave it at that. This tiny force of a woman never stopped moving… whether she was painting, drawing, cooking, telling a story with her whole body, or giving you a bear hug so hard you thought she might break your bones. I can remember begging my parents “please can you tell Tia not to hug me, it hurts!” And as I got older I loved those hugs so much and marveled at her strength. Red lipstick and always fashionable, often with the best fun jewelry or a scarf, Tia Gisela had style. She was an artist and she dressed the part. I think her art made me believe I could also pursue the arts. Like it was possible even if I was pursuing a different medium. My Tio was also an artist, a scupltor- we would spend most Saturdays at their house in Queens when I was a kid. Playing off the wall in their driveway with my brother and cousins. Poking around Tio’s studios looking for a tennis ball. Everyone gathered in their basement laughing and eating Tia’s delicious food. I have the best memories with her. I wish I would’ve visited her more in my adulthood when I still lived in NYC, but I was still young and dumb. I’m proud to have her art in my home. Rest in Peace Tia. I think I’ll start wearing little scarves more often. 💗✨

Went out on a Sunday night and got home at 2am and it was WORTH IT. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is an album that had a transformative effect on me during a particular time in my teenage years. So, seeing her live for the first time was something I’ll never forget. Also seeing The Fugees and the surprise guests was also incredible. Lastly, there’s not a ton of people I would enjoy spending this many hours with and @thatvanessaramos is certainly one of those people. Thank you V forever for inviting me to come with you!
