Thank you @crybabyricecake for this amazing video compilation of our courthouse wedding and my 30th b day weekend. Thank you @liv.lesh for the gorgeous hand made bouquet. And finally thank you to all the homies that made our last weekend in America before our big trip the most amazing and wholesome parting gift we could ever ask for. We will forever remember this magical moment โค๏ธ
How Para Presents Went From Illegal Renegades to Full-time Curators ๐ฃ
Making the transition from a corporate job to full-time event curator is a scary road.
Yet Carter Holland (@pushincarts ), the founder of @para.presents , has gone about it with the ambition and demeanor of someone fueled by the desire to create.
Recently, we had the chance to interview Holland and learn how he transitioned from working a 9-to-5 to hosting 6-to-10s, his capital conquest of the DC bass scene, and his relentless pursuit of creating a space for people to connect.
Head to the link in @riverbeatsdance โs bio or keep swiping to learn more about one of DCโs most ambitious promoters ๐
What started as a party in my backyard has transformed into something I never really anticipated. Over the years the events have gotten larger, the artists more renowned, and my gratefulness for this experience has continued to expand.
The one thing that has remained constant is the love and passion I have towards this dream of mine, and the appreciation of all those who have made this journey possible through your support and endearment.
With that being said, come join us as we celebrate 4 years (!!!!) of dancing, 4 years of jubilation, 4 years of Para Presents.
10 years of friendship, 6 years of love, and a lifetime of memories left to be created. Youโre the woman whoโs shown me what true and unconditional support feels like, continuously demonstrated the value in a loving partnership, and has enabled me to live a life I previously could only dream of.
Our love story only just getting started, and itโs incredibly exciting to think the best is yet to come ๐๐งกโพ๏ธ
