Born to be a girl Yorkie dad 💗

Rihanna came up to @gayleking at the Met Ball and told her she looked great and to give up her secret, so my job here is doneeeeeee! Great job team (especially Miss Mia at the final fitting)!!!

As someone who owns a @stanleytucci cookbook and who was raised by the devil wears prada, this was fascinating to experience 🤳🏽🍳👠

One month with Miss Mia. Who knew a 2 pound yorkie would bring so much healing? Harry and @the_boomer_boyfriend did 🫂

I got a text saying “Clear your schedule and meet me at @morehouse1867 on Friday.” The calendar was wiped. The ticket was purchased. And I was able to witness the @oprahscholars be surprised by the person who’s been paying for their education the last four years through the @oprah Winfrey Scholars Program (established in 1989!!) They shared how the school and the scholarship impacted their lives and in return she got on a mic and poured into them. She’s been doing this for 37 years. Just one of one 🫂

I’ve also had shoes (meant for pavement) fight for their lives on @oprah ’s beautifully manicured grass. At least @emmagrede ’s heels survived 👠

Today I took Miss Mia to work so she can learn how we pay rent around here🤍

Miss Mia would like to thank everyone for giving her such a warm welcome into the world. She wanted everyone to know that her dad has only cried twice since she’s arrived but they have been tears of gratitude. She also wanted to give everyone a peek into her last few weeks in NYC 🐶👬

Since Harry’s passing, I avoided being home at all costs. Simply put, my house felt as empty as my heart without him. But as the months passed, I realized life itself felt empty. I could have a great day, but the second I got home, or to a hotel room, or anywhere there was silence, I just cried. I tried to keep it to myself, but @the_boomer_boyfriend saw it. He felt how sadness had taken up permanent residence in the space Harry once filled. Three weeks ago, he texted early in the morning that he was coming by as soon as he landed from Miami. I rushed to shower, trying to wash the tears from the night before off my face. When he rang the doorbell, of course, he didn’t look like he’d just gotten off a 4 a.m. flight. And as we hugged, I caught a glimpse of a tiny ear peeking out of the bag he was trying to hide—and I lost it. I always thought maybe I’d get another dog…only if Harry said so. Turns out, he went straight to the only dad he could manage from the rainbow bridge. I’m so happy he did. World, meet Mia Auxiliadora Zambrano-Robinson. Mia, because she’s ours—and because she came from Miami, where Harry took his last breath. Auxiliadora, because we want her to carry the strength of her auntie @stfzmbrno and grandma @tatyzambeauty . (And because Marc vetoed Mia Glinda.) Because of Mia, joy and love have found their way back to me on four tiny legs. Because of my partner, happiness has signed a permanent lease on my life. And because Harry cracked my heart open when he left, I now understand it was to let the light back in through her. Now, I count down the seconds until I can come home 🐶

Turned 36!!!!

Love is in the Dominican air! Congrats to @ariannagab and @jay_thebroker on a beautiful wedding weekend filled with 150 people that would travel the world for your love. It’s an honor and a privilege to see my bestie find partnership, blossom with him, and then commit to one another. Long live the Santanas🤍🤍🤍

And there you have it 🤣
