My butterfly, my star.
Born Friday, February 7th, at 12:38pm.
'Amelle', named after
@amellarrieux Amel Larrieux from Groove Theory. Amel's music has been on heavy rotation throughout our relationship, and the 'Groove Theory' album was one of the first records I shared with Dina 10+ years ago. Anyone who visits our home will notice an original 1995 'Tell Me' 12 inch on display - We vibe GT heavy.
'Sade', named after the Nigerian British GOAT Sade Adu of
@sade
Sade's album 'Promise' is also among our favourites, and has been part of my life since childhood as my mother would often play Sade's music around the house.
'Flow' is a tribute to our breaking crew
@flowtality_
whom Dina and I cherish deeply. Dina and I met through breaking, and more specifically our crew. We thank them for bringing us together. Flowtality have inspired us in tremendous ways, both inside and outside dance. It's fitting that our daughter carries with her a special bond to breaking and Flowtality, even if she chooses another path.
Amelle has already helped me work harder, think better, push harder, and run further. She truly motivates me, man. Although I'm happy and proud of all that I've accomplished in my life thus far, I know that I have much to prove to my little angel. I'll make her proud.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey as well. We appreciate the support.
Lastly, I am so moved by and grateful to
@geraldinahnitko
She copped a rough labour, and baby didn't make it easy for her. Nonetheless, Dina handled business and gave birth to a beautiful, healthy bub. I wish everyone truly understood how tough and resilient Dina is. She's amazing.
I'm enjoying this new chapter in my book of life.
Thanks, all.
