This morning I woke up with Biggie on my mind.
“It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt’n’Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin’ pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl…”

Yesterday, my evening was a little intense after I found out that The NYLA Report’s team was accepted into a major show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I guess you could say that I was at the point of excitement where you really can’t concentrate.
Then I got caught up in a bunch of text messages, emails, chats & phone calls from all over the place which kinda exacerbated where I was in terms of being able to focus.
Things only got worse when I received this email:
“CONGRATULATIONS!
We are happy to inform you that your application for Press and Industry
Accreditation for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York has been approved.
A schedule of shows will be posted on the event website once it is available. Details on picking up credentials, policy changes, updates and other information will be provided in subsequent emails.
Thanks again for your support of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.”
The text messages & phones calls just put me in a tale spin, then I took to FB & Twitter & poured a few drinks. I was truly a mess in all of the right ways.
I’ve been talking about this for a while, so you know that I am beyond being excited!!!!
A few years ago, this whole process was just a thought, a dream even; today it’s happening & it feels like a dream. Just two weeks from now, I’ll be done with my 1st day @ NYFW. WOW!!!!
Now, I ask the question; Who gone check me boo?
