Aging like fine (nonalcoholic) wine 🎂 ✨🍾

Life Update: After graduating from business school, I took a major leap of faith and decided to become a full time entrepreneur. For the first time in my life, I have complete autonomy to think, create, and build on my own accord. I can’t wait to leverage my strengths and MANY talents to elevate my personal brand and equity. I’m grateful for my friends and family who have supported me along this journey. These past couple of months I’ve been building a brand that sits very close to my heart, Wine Not. Wine Not is a nonalcoholic sparkling Rose and Brut that caters to customers with a sophisticated taste palette and bold lifestyle. For those who don’t know, I don’t drink alcohol, and while I embrace this lifestyle, I wanted to create a beverage that encourages an inclusive, social experience for everyone. Show the world that you can be fun, social and sober! Although I didn’t plan to launch until Q2 2023, I was selected to pitch to over 200 investors and VCs at @andersonentrepreneurship ’s Venture Showcase. So, TODAY (MONDAY, OCTOBER 24th) at 5:30pm PST, I’ll be presenting live from Google/YouTube’s LA office, to show these investors why I believe in myself and this brand! If you want to watch me present live, follow the link in my bio. In the meantime please follow @winenotlive and/or join our mailing list to know when we launch. 📸: @rickycodio 💄: @ericanikole 🎨: @leon_le_heart #entrepreneur#Nonalcoholic#winenot#sober#alcoholfree#ucla#uclaentrepreneur#longla#startup#lastartup#ventureaccelerator#noalcohol#soberoctober#sobercuriousmovement#siophisticatedsips#soberlife#sobercurious#scorpioseason#alcoholfree#soberlife#sobergirl#nonalcoholic

I already graduated, and you can live through anything if Magic made it ✨ #MBA

Today is my grandpa’s birthday and 3 days until graduation. I can’t say that this journey didn’t come with its own share of sacrifices and obstacles. Last year I lost one of the most instrumental person in my life, my grandpa. As I prepared for my trip back home and the emotions to follow, I randomly found this letter he wrote to me 9 years ago. Somehow it was the right words that I needed in that moment, and the fire that fueled me to #PressOn. As I head into this next chapter, I’ll never forget the lessons that he instilled in me, and continue to thrive through his legacy. Happy 80th Birthday 💙💛

Thank you for the birthday wishes today! This past year I’ve learned to trust my voice and the process. I look forward to growing and glowing in this next year. ✨

Can’t believe that 5 years ago I moved to Philly to work for JP Morgan Chase (somehow I ended up a DJ). Thank you Philly for embracing a girl from Detroit and treating her like she was your own. I’ve learned so much about myself and my purpose within this talented city. I started DJing in Philly and had no idea that I would have accomplished so much within so little time. Thank you to everyone that supported and believed me, it wasn’t in vain. This is just the beginning! The end of August I’ll be moving to LA to start my MBA journey at UCLA Anderson School of Management... WITH A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP! As a first generation college graduate, this is not a blessing that I take for granted. At UCLA I plan to concentrate on entertainment so that I can use my voice to create more opportunities for black and brown people within the industry. Thank you to god, my friends, family and colleagues that have supported me along this journey. #UCLAANDERSON
