Happy Birthday to my bestie @owabowa ❤️ We met in 2012 through the street dance community and I will be forever grateful! So many dance floors, deep talks, adventures, fabulous outfits and memories shared over the years! We have hosted countless events, travelled together, ran a culture mag for a little while and just generally supported eachothers dreams and goals along the way! Thank you for all you bring to my life, for the patience, kindness and understanding you bring to life while exuding joy and compassion to those around you. Come see Owabowa spin tomorrow night for her Bday DJ set at @amahouseevents #besties #throwback #20122026
