Chicagoans the heatwave is FINALLY over and we’re experiencing some great temps. It’s only fitting since the biggest holiday of all started last week… #Leoseason. Not only am I a Leo, but I’m a very special Leo seeing my birthday is the last day of the season. I’m bursting with Leo pride when my day finally comes to celebrate. Until then… you know how we do…we celebrate to the fullest. It’s the Leo way.
So to get this party started WNBA All-Star weekend is in Chicago, so you know we got invited to attend some pretty fun events.
Exclusive Cocktail Reception with Lisa Leslie, Veronica Beard, & Michelle Ghee (Thursday, July 23rd)
An inspiring group of men and women across sports, business, media, and fashion gathered for an evening of meaningful conversation, new connections, and celebration. The reception was designed to bring together women who are passionate about uplifting, empowering, and championing one another while celebrating the growing partnership between PlayersTV, Veronica Beard, and The BOSS Network.

I was invited to attend an awesome collaboration between the Sunglass Hut in Chicago and WNBA player Breanna Stewart. To celebrate WNBA All-Star weekend we were invited to the Sunglass Hut store located at 900 N Michigan for a day to celebrate confidence, creativity, and personal expression.
The meet & greet also included giveaways, styling moments, and more. I was super lucky because they sent me the Sunglass Hut 2026 look book ahead of the event to pick a pair of sunglasses I wanted. I went with the Tory Burch $252/ Item Number TY7228U. You gotta head to Sunglass Hut. They have so many styles to choose.

I love covering concerts! When I got invited to cover the Karol G concert I immediately started having memories of covering Shakira at Suenos music festival a couple years back. Reason being Shakira performed TQG and I was hoping Karol G popped up to sing her part. Lol
The highly anticipated Viajando Por El Mundo TropiTour opened with weekend performances at Soldier Field in Chicago. More than 90,000+ fans experienced opening weekend of Karol G’s largest production to date. The tour has already generated incredible demand, selling more than 2 million tickets in just four days and expanding from 39 to 63 dates following an overwhelming response from fans around the world. AND… Karol G debuted her new single “Matadora” during opening night. “Matadora” is an unapologetic celebration of feminine confidence, magnetism and self-assurance. Do you have your tickets?
See YOU next week Chicago!
