C'est ici, où j'écris.

trust me, darling.

I had the best birthday ever. Compliments of my awesome family, friends, work buddies, and coolest people alive. I seriously feel soooo lucky. It was one of the best 24 hours I have ever experienced haha. Thank you muchos. muchos. beacoup.
Also, I've been more involved with launching our jewelry business Musana Jewelry. It's been incredible to see it actually go from being a small desire to becoming an actual business. I was just reading some of the notes I took back in Uganda on some of the last days we were there. We interviewed a few women who we knew would be really good candidates to be a part of our business. Most of them widows, with seriously crazy life stories. We had our friend interpret for us while we asked them questions in their own huts/homes about their lives. Then we took pictures, and I mostly liked playing with their children. I still have some of their drawings in my notebook, I gave them pens while they sat there patiently waiting while their mothers talked. Man, I miss that place. But I'm really glad I get to give back even while being here in the States. One pair of earrings sold will bring a whole new kind of life for each of these women. AHHH I'M SO EXCITED FOR THEM!!!!!!!!! Anyways, I'll be working on the website a lot these next few days. I'm learning a lot about building businesses. Kristen is so amazing, if there's one person I'd want to be involved in a business with, it would be her. She's so competent and can make anything happen.
Also, Topher my brotha's birthday is today...2 days after mine. I made him this video, partially because I love the man, and partially because I was on a low budget. And I'm straight up delighted with how it turned out. Here's to you, TOPHER, honestly I'm so honored to even know this boy, let alone have him as a brother. LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
