VASHTIE

for those of you who don’t know, GRACE is my good friend and mentor. she has truly been a crucial part in the realization of my dreams. not only with directing, but as head of the creative department at ISLAND DEF JAM she brought me in – giving me an executive position at a super young age.

she always believed in me and i am forever indebted to her for that. at the same time, she’s been an amazing friend that has always guided me on the right path.

she’s accomplished, grounded, intelligent, and beautiful. her name says it all. i admire her and love her dearly! H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y G R A C E!

*BALAN INC.organized the event. outside was a poster everyone was asked to tag up.

*this was my second time at GREENHOUSE, you may remember the previous post…

*GRACE, the birthday girl…

*JAHA and JEFF.

*MAMIE! she has a spa called MAMIES SKINCARE CENTER. GRACE (of course) put me on to her a couple years ago. she does everyone from JADA PINKETT to me. believe it or not, prior to visiting MAMIE i was using bar soap to wash my face like a dude. i highly recommend you see her for a facial, and tell her i sent you!

*the place got packed quick…full of DEF JAM peeps and a range of GRACE’s longtime friends.

*as me and GRACE posed for this photo, i felt someone damn near sitting on my shoulder…i looked back to find RICK ROSS getting in our picture. i busted out laughing.
