Thank you @red_lappa for these words of wisdom. Video: @transientphotog | It’s our turn to get outside with @bklyn_fam and do what we do on that Prospect Park Boathouse patio next Sunday 10.26.25. It’s free. Come on thru so we can properly ring this Fall bell and transition into ancestor veneration season together under the trees and by the water like our farmer grandparents did way back. Ohhhhhhh! And let’s talk about getting here … A year since we’ve performed … New apprentices … New company mates …. New time rebuilding from scratch … The explaining over and over … The capacity thinning … The let downs … The grant winning … The grant rejections … The overdue everything … The almost made its … The overflow of blessings … The shining in our glory … The devastation … The set backs … The joy, opulence, and excellence … The ocean … The volcano … The canyon … The mountain top … The laughter … This life … And waterfalls of LOOOOOOOVE. All of it. @serena_maximilien @freee_stile @goussycelestin_ayitibrass @goussyc @orionkg @imogenewill_ @tylahlyzette @jaysonpsmith @bloodlinedancetheatre @mendance2 @isaiahtyrelleboyd @makafui_mordedzi @sanctuariomusica @skymenesky @capri_quarius719 @orionkg @bradleygirlfree @thornstouchwellness @jbdances333

I grew up in my local library in many ways. It was a satellite beam for my childhood dreams! What joy to be celebrating a book dedicated to little Jasmine at my current local library. Thank you to @bklynlibrary for hosting, and head librarian Adeeba for all your work to make this happen!

As I gather videos to piece together for you, dear ones, anyone of you who couldn’t be there & also for myself bc I’m still processing: here is evidence via slides that my official NYC Book Launch for What We Do With God happened. Seeing videos & photos is helping me piece together/have a fuller conceptualization of the very stunning, very fortifying evening—if you have videos/photos plz send to me!
Slides:
1. @tracedepass & @ehimeora film a Daniella’s post-event ramen reflection.
2. Daniella is moved to switch up her reading set after being moved by @poemsandcake & @champagnepoet ‘s v stunning readings.
3. What We Do with God Bingo was a hit—you really should have been there. Congrats to our winner, @ehimeora !
4. The crowd game “Is it cookies or is it sewing supplies” was also a hit. Volta: it was cookies lmao. Then the open container of cookies was placed next to me during end-of-night Book Signing time for ppl to get both a signed copy of What We Do with God and a cookie :). Someone said the fact that there were actual cookies in the container healed something in her childhood ♥️.
5. My shoe of the evening was teddy bear slippers bc a. the book launch theme was slumber party & b. I read “all about bears” as apart of my set (if you read the book, then, you know lmao).
6. Two friends brought me beautiful bouquets of flowers that I carried around all day the next day with my luggage bc I had to teach the next day and hotel checkout was 11am so here is Daniella in her office w/ her flowers and bags during post-teaching office hours.
7. @tracedepass & @ehimeora & Daniella being silly pals post-book launch.
8. Daniella gifts abuela a copy of What We Do with God. I will keep the details between me & abuela personal bc it was stunning & between me & my beloved. Just know, something in our lineage was healed in the exchange ♥️✨.
9. Teddy bear again bc lmao.
10. Thank you @ptknitwear for having us!! It was an honor to be held in your space.
11. Signing store copies!
12. Documents <3.
More on this soon. Until then,
thank you to everyone who made this night—and me—possible ♥️.
What We Do with God, out now with @haymarketbooks !

What We Do with God, out now with @haymarketbooks !
As I gather videos to piece together for you, dear ones, anyone of you who couldn’t be there & also for myself bc I’m still processing: here is evidence via slides that my official NYC Book Launch for What We Do With God happened. Seeing videos & photos is helping me piece together/have a fuller conceptualization of the very stunning, very fortifying evening—if you have videos/photos plz send to me!
Slides:
1. @tracedepass & @ehimeora film a Daniella’s post-event ramen reflection.
2. Daniella is moved to switch up her reading set after being moved by @poemsandcake & @champagnepoet ‘s v stunning readings.
3. What We Do with God Bingo was a hit—you really should have been there. Congrats to our winner, @ehimeora !
4. The crowd game “Is it cookies or is it sewing supplies” was also a hit. Volta: it was cookies lmao. Then the open container of cookies was placed next to me during end-of-night Book Signing time for ppl to get both a signed copy of What We Do with God and a cookie :). Someone said the fact that there were actual cookies in the container healed something in her childhood ♥️.
5. My shoe of the evening was teddy bear slippers bc a. the book launch theme was slumber party & b. I read “all about bears” as apart of my set (if you read the book, then, you know lmao).
6. Two friends brought me beautiful bouquets of flowers that I carried around all day the next day with my luggage bc I had to teach the next day and hotel checkout was 11am so here is Daniella in her office w/ her flowers and bags during post-teaching office hours.
7. @tracedepass & @ehimeora & Daniella being silly pals post-book launch.
8. Daniella gifts abuela a copy of What We Do with God. I will keep the details between me & abuela personal bc it was stunning & between me & my beloved. Just know, something in our lineage was healed in the exchange ♥️✨.
9. Teddy bear again bc lmao.
10. Thank you @ptknitwear for having us!! It was an honor to be held in your space.
11. Signing store copies!
12. Documents <3.
More on this soon. Until then,
thank you to everyone who made this night—and me—possible ♥️.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
