Merry Happy, Everyone! If you know me, you know that this time of the year is my favorite time!!! Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church has kicked it off in grand style with their Inaugural Gospel Jazz Brunch and Fashion Show! I was honored to be a part of this great celebration; indeed, I was so happy that I brought two of my favorite “ride or die” beloveds, my sons Rafael and Royan, to help me out with my new holiday season poem “Mary’s Christmas!”
I love performing with these guys!!!! Check it out! ❤️❤️❤️
A joyous season to all! 👑🌟✨️🎶
