VASHTIE

finally, after months of planning and date re-arranging…i made it to ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN for a F.O.K.U.S. event. since, my team is dead serious when it comes to “keeping busy” and i’m on the same page with overall making the most of your time — i was also scheduled to shoot with the amazingly talented DANTE MARSHALL. he approached me about doing a photoshoot a while back and this day, the timing worked out perfect with a cameo by BIG SEAN.

anyways. i just want to say a MAJOR THANKS to miss ASHLEE ARDER and the crew at F.O.K.U.S. who were extremely sweet and welcoming. their organization is doing super dope things and i am very appreciative that i was asked to come and spend the day with them. at the end of it all, the “1992 Themed Party” was the cherry on top. TEDDY RUCKSPIN killed it and (without cue) the decorations were almost exact to what OSCAR and i do for our own parties – candy, quarter water and balloons. also thanks to DANTE MARSHALL + BIG SEAN + TINA J + BRITTANY + ISIS ARIAS !!!

everyone was sweet and treated me like family. i hope to visit again soon (and watch a WOLVERINES game!)

PS: shout out to all of you who came out. i met a lot of blog readers out there and a lot of INDIAN descent. it was nice to meet some of my INDIAN sistrens!
