29 & Unbreakable 🎂💪🏾🎈| Happy Birthday to Me ! ❤️🥹 God, thank you for another year of life, lessons, and growth. Waking up in Paris feels like a dream, and I’m so immensely grateful for this moment. Here’s to 29 years of resilience, love, and abundance. Merci, Paris 🇫🇷✨

2025 held a lot. This year reminded me that life doesn’t move in a straight line. There were moments of growth, joy, softness, chaos, community, creativity, celebration, recovery, connection, and introspection. The rangeeeee 😭
But I showed up in every season, and that’s the real highlight of 2025 ✊🏾
In 2026, I keep becoming on my own terms. Loving my people, exploring new places, and holding close the memories that carried me through.
Onward,
Derek 🤍
