Drip Dame

An absolute brew-tiful Juneteenth 2024. Freedom Day... in a real dames' way. See y'all January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation establishing that all those enslaved in the Confederate states their freedom . So, for over 2 1/2 years they all didn't know...  Juneteenth is commemorative of the day federal troops led by General Gordon Granger stood on business reading: "The people of Texas are now informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, ALL slaves are free “ .  It wasn't until now all that were slaved had been told. Freely, I elected to visit @Koffeko  -one of my favorites. A locally black female owned business that serves good vibes and a dope flavorist. Daily coffee deals and convos that give you the feels. ☕ With this sweltering St. Louis summer solstice, it had to be an iced Americano with a twist today for me. Sipped a few drips, while I enjoyed family playing an UNO and a Chess ga...

  To all things brew-tiful that one loves💟Coffee drip-me-immediately please and thank you...in a way that real dames do! Waking up in the wackiest way today, so I already know that calmness is one of my focuses as I continuously lay...in this war sometimes-- one that starts in the mind. I took one moment to breathe. Before my eyes opened, my mind woke with fast flashbacks of the dream I had just escaped. Yes, y'all I was dripped in chaos! I took another breath, this one in reflection. I began again to breath slowly and with understanding that my dream was telling a lot of the things my mind was yelling. Wack-chiato I need a macchiato. I decided last night that I was going to have a good next day. I lit a #cheloshun strawberry lemon-lime lavender candle, played a little Jill Scott, showered with calming creams, and closed my eyes with plans of a cute simple outfit to drip the next day... before I had all of those dreams. A dame needs to distress. With my mind awake and my eyes clos...

First. focusing on all brew-tiful things that one loves❣️ Dripping coffee and welcoming art creativity today... in a real dame's way. @dripdame2024 Waking in complete silence while soaking in the sunshine, I know this was my show of a peaceful day's design. Wake, pray, love and then most definitely coffee ☕️ “And in dat order”-Mama Dee (In the midst of all of that, I most definitely have put together a simple dope outfit). Literally a denim ballcap that reads "DOPE", and quickly grabbed a simple crisp white crop top, and denim pocket joggers---Looking good keeps one feeling good. Folks usually behave in a nice dope outfit too! Looking back, Sunday has always been a family day for me growing up. “Life be life-ing” so, it’s often hard to do things on said days and stay on that track. I began to remove some of those labels justifying re-organizing time, instead of having to eliminate the traditions. Time often moves fast…so incorporate family with some creativity on any ...

  dripdame2024   Wake up to all brewtiful things that one loves❣️ Dripping coffee and fashion today... in a real dame's way. @mannequinsproject gave creativity at its best cultivating recycling art and fashion. @dripdame2024 began with small goals in mind. Naturally, as the 6 AM wake up -on the first day of the sixth month, I knew the days focus. The number six (6) is a symbol of completeness- symbolizing, beauty and high ideals. So, for me, I will start with a little loc play and a hip-hop denim day... Time to allow the energy to drip... @koffee_ko_llc "Hey girl, hey, I’ll start this day with a hot 24-ounce caramel macchiato with almond milk, extra espresso, extra caramel drizzle”. ☕️ Multitasking as always so I’m getting these 10k walking steps in, all while embracing and enjoying artists. Always motivating when I am present in the energy of those moving in their purpose. They definitely understood the assignment! Recycling, fashion and marketing was the aim. This was the...
