Throwback Thursday | I Pat My Weave Back And Forth ...


Whenever I think about the things I want to accomplish in life, 
this random thought always becomes a motiviating factor ...
"I gotta do something cool so I can show my future grandkids how awesome their Gramma was back in the day."
Being in a music video was one of those random life goals I had ...

Me- 3 years ago ...

A couple years ago while teaching dance, 
I supplemented my income by working as a promoter for Nuvo liquor in the DC nightlife scene.
I basically walked around in a pink dress, offering deals for patrons of different nightclubs if they ordered a Nuvo drink.
At the end of the night, I got my cash and bounced.
Definitely a side gig I've recently thought of getting back into to make some quick money so I can save for life's "whatevers".

Through working the nightlife scene,
I got the opportunity to be in a music video.
For the record, I did NOT have any weave on in this video ... 
But I was still patting away like any other!

I got mixed reviews from family and friends when this video was released on MTV ...
My friends loved it.
My family ... eh.
I think it may have been the booty shorts and sexy feel of the video but I don't think I crossed the line into video hoe-dom ...
I mean ... I'm not gonna be able to wear these types of clothes forever!

Whenever I look at this video, I can't believe how skinny I was a couple years ago!
It definitely serves my motivation to get back in shape this year.

Enjoy!
Peep the girl with the stripe top on ... She kinda looks like me ;)

I've got a pictures on my board that I look at every day of when I was smaller. It serves as motivation for me to get back down to a more comfortable weight.

I think you look great NOW and back then.
