Thank you @imbibe for including me in this year’s Imbibe 75! It is a great honor to share space amongst some of the best in our industry. I have always strived to make a lasting impact on our community. I look forward to growing the HAPI community on the east coast and providing a platform for those in the API space. I only hope that I can help others to grow in their craft and support those around me in whatever capacity I can! Thank you for all of this.

2025 was full of ups and downs, not only for the beverage industry, but also for Haiti. However, there were many bright spots and not only did we introduce Saint Benevolence Mango to the world, but thanks to your support, we were able to help many people in Haiti. We’re looking ahead to an exciting 2026 that includes many Mango Spritzes - while cheering on Haiti in the World Cup for the first time in 52 years. We raise a glass to you and #DrinkToGoodness

TOTC 25: my favorite reunion It’s amazing to share space with so many beautiful humans. Blurry photos and so many hugs. Thankful for all the moments shared ❤️

☀️July☀️ This is 40❤️ 40 is celebrating your birthday on the same day you open a bar in Manhattan. It’s spending time with people you love. It’s taking adventures, exploring and trying new things. It’s celebrating SO many birthdays because you have a lot of cancer loves 🦀🎂 It’s dance parties, caviar bumps, one bites, poolside sunsets, bone marrow luges, laughing till your belly aches, blurry photos and fighting for the things you believe in. It’s never letting a number hinder your joy and love for life. I am so incredibly blessed with so much love and am thankful for every moment❤️ Also thanks @justin_sisson for the dope 📸
