Last night, I had the pleasure of seeing @chineduogu do live stand up for the first time. A year ago, I met him as a purple haired, hungry writer who saw a great comedian in the making. I wrote about for for @houstoniamag. Now, he’s been touring across the country! Y’all. I was crying laughing. I haven’t done that in a long time. And he gets love from EVERYONE. If you haven’t seen him yet, catch him at his next Houston show....before he blows up 😏 (at Joke Joint Comedy Showcase)

Last month, I went to #flowersandheartmeetup, a @twentyishthirty event, and was photographed by six different photographers. I never had that done before! It was so awesome being captured by different eyes, and it was nice to know that I put a good outfit together 😂. In an effort to promote @braidsbydrikahtx, I wanted to showcase my self-made hairstyle, which definitely got me some compliments from the free spirits of the world. #houstonphotography #houston #outdoorphotography #cityphotoshoot #braidsbydrikahtx #marleytwists #mermaidhair #houstonstyle #vintagestyle (at Helen's Park)

I’ve been making some big moves this year to end my 20s, including digging back into my word. It’s a struggle to get back on that horse, but I keep trying. I’m boldly going out and using the gifts that God is giving me!

So proud of this guy graduating from high school and heading to PV next year! Well done, young black man ❤️ #cousinlove #graduation2018 #classof2018 #pvamu22 Photo shot by @bri_dezel (at Houston, Texas)

Found this gem while cleaning up this week. How fitting! After the year we've experienced, her strength and perseverance is beyond what I could imagine. So grateful to be her kid and be able to brighten her day. Happy Mother's Day mom!

Writer. Artist. And now, magical hair braider! For those who may not know, any braids or twists I’ve done within the last three years I’ve done them myself! It took some practice and quite a few YouTube videos, but I really dig doing hair. @braidsbydrikahtx is more than just me doing hair. It’s me creating art and embracing the people of my city and beyond. I am officially open to making appointments on Tuesdays and weekends, so check out my new page to see my previous work and to book with me! I’m so excited on starting this new journey! Special thank you to @bri_dezel for collaborating with me and capturing this moment! #braidsbydrikahtx #braidsbyme #boxbraids #marleytwists #havanatwist #senegalesetwists #ombretwist #houstonbraider #blackcreative #houston (at Houston, Texas)

At first, I couldn't imagine myself wearing brightly colored hair. But when I step outside, I feel every bit as me. I'm wearing my imagination wherever I go ✨✨ Photos done by @bri_dezel #magicalblackgirl #bluehair #greenhair #thesiren #midtownhouston #springtime #marleytwists #boxbraids #braidsbyme #houstonbraider #braidsbydrikahtx #oceanhair (at Midtown Houston)

Some wedding realness for y’all. Thankfully, the weather warmed up enough for me to wear my shoes 😊#greenhair #greenpants #hm #marleytwists (at Princeton Station)
