Ten years worth of credentials, stuffed into four shoeboxes. Adding another handful to the pile, realizing my career started roughly 10 years ago. My liver quivered, and my soul smiled. These heart-full moments make me incredibly grateful for all the people who make it all happen, from the sleepless producers, crews, and bartenders to the patrons and vibesters--and everyone in between. Y[our] magic is real. ✨🙌🏽✨ #sxsw #atx #tenyearsoffesting #credsoncredsoncreds #yourmagicisreal #wenowreturntoyourregularlyscheduledprogramming #fuckyeahwristbandliberation (at SXSW)
