I didn’t know, sitting in that studio 8+ years ago, that I’d help build a third school in Africa.
I didn’t know I’d step away from touring myself and help hundreds of others do it in a way that actually sustains them.
I didn’t see the awards, the bigger stages, the countries, or the work supporting women in their personal and professional lives. I definitely didn’t see being recognized by Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD Foundation or named one of the 100 Women to Know in America.
But I did see the gap.
Women were tired. Overworked. Losing themselves. Underwhelmed.
And choosing to finally show up for myself gave me the capacity to show up for others.
Young Ny always had a plan… but the shift happened when she took her hands off the wheel and let God steer.
Look at who you were 10 years ago. Line that version up with who you are today.
What changed? Even if it feels small.
That’s the proof. Be grateful for that.

Shhhh… don’t tell anyone, but I’m speaking at Music Biz to one of my favorite audiences on one of my favorite topics. 🥹
Building Without Burnout: Sustainable Leadership in the Music Industry
Led by: Nyeesha Williams, The Serenity Haus
High-performance environments demand constant output, resilience, and availability—often at the expense of long-term capacity. This roundtable challenges the assumption that burnout is the cost of ambition and explores how women leaders in music can build careers, teams, and structurally sustainable companies.

One of my biggest flexes is him.
Artist development and creative nurturing isn’t something I stepped into—it’s something I’ve always carried.
Seven is one of the reasons I returned to what I love most. And I thank him for this every chance I get.
From keys to drums, to theatre, to understanding healing and wellness—this started in me, in my home, long before it became the work.
And for that, I’m forever grateful.
What's your favorite slide? 🥹👀

As a homeschooling mom (10+ years in, with one already graduated), it gets real chaotic over here—but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Just know when I say “no excuses,” it’s coming from a place of doing all the things—running a business, homeschooling, being a wife, raising capital, supporting 100+ girls in Africa—and still choosing to show up intentionally in every room.
If you want something to happen, you’ll make it happen. Period.
Today was a win with the kiddos… which means it’s time for business me to clock in.
But first—dad (), I’m tired.
Somebody ask him what’s for dinner 😩😂

For years I admired individuals who could step into a cold plunge and push through because it always represented how they were resilient enough to push through life. I read every research article to learn the benefits and after 5 years I noticed I started searching for research that told me I shouldn’t do this. Then I seen do it and I was like man…she’s resilient and equated that to how successful she is and how she shows up for others.
I would watch my husband cold plunge and wouldn’t even bat an eye! “Kudos to you” I would say but never made the decision to do it myself until TODAY!! And not only did I do it for the first time but your girl did it for 5 MINUTES.
told me that I would die a thousand times before taking the step and I wanted to fight that because I’m strong, I’m capable, I’ve pushed through so many obstacles in life but I knew that this NEXT level called for another version of myself. The self that I knew I was but was too afraid to meet her.
Well… it’s a whole celebration because…I DID THAT! And so can you. 👀
Maybe your challenge isn’t a cold plunge. But whatever it is I do think that in order for us to reach new heights we should go towards that challenge. Witness yourself go through it. And come out an entirely different person.
Now let me go eat a good meal. 🥹🥰
Thank you

I may or may not be road ready… but I’m not playing about getting there. 💪🏾
Love seeing y’all tag me and the Haus—especially those gearing up for tour. This isn’t just workouts… it’s discipline before the demand.
The road will test you. Preparation decides how you show up. And if you're not going on the road think about your next level. Let's prepare for that!
Gym or track—I’ll see you outside.

Your body will always tell the truth—even when you don’t.
Mine did. Loudly.
I spent years in high-performance environments, on the road, around excellence. I knew what to do. I understood the work. But I wasn’t living it for myself.
And it showed up. In my body. My face. My energy.
When I started , I made a decision—
if I was going to build something for artists, for families, for teams…it had to include every dimension of wellness. Every layer too.
Mental. Emotional. Physical. Spiritual.
Not as an add-on—but as the standard.
So I got quiet.
Built the infrastructure.
And started applying it to my own life.
Because I knew eventually… I would be the proof.
And this is what that looks like.
I’m just getting started. And still digs in my a** when I try to give an excuse but…
🥂 Cheers to doing things differently.
🥂 Cheers to listening to your body.
🥂 Cheers to building something that actually sustains you and others as you give your all to the world.
See you on Monday! Make sure you tag in your movement content.

• No you don't have to check in with us. Just tag when you're out moving.
See y'all on Monday.

When I get two abs it's over for everybody! 😩😂
Tour season prep is now in full effect, right?

I was talking to my A&R about touring schedules. And I said how important it is for me to make sure we’re building in blocks of time for us to decompress between stops before moving on to the next city.
He stopped me and said he’s never heard that in all his years in the entertainment industry. And I believed him.
Because this industry has mastered how to move people—but not how to sustain them. And for me, understanding my role at the Haus means making sure everyone inside of it stays safe, intact, and supported.
We work hard but we also take breaks because this isn’t just about high-level production. It’s also about high-level sustainability.
Be well. See y’all on the road! And when you see me come give your girl a hug or a high five! 💙
