Let’s Talk BADU | What’s Next for Badu Lounge

It’s been a minute since I’ve been out on the scene, but things have been moving behind the scenes!

My business partner and I have been making changes at Badu Lounge, and I want to reconnect with everybody and share what we’ve been working on.

Join me tonight at 8 PM as we talk about what’s happening this Sunday, our new Sunday Kickback schedule, the return of Lyrical Elevation Soul Sessions every second Saturday, and opportunities to reserve Badu Lounge for your own private events.

Nothing too formal. Just a chance to catch up, answer a few questions, and let everybody know what to expect moving forward.

Today we honor our king 👑

Happy Birthday to our Lester!
Today is more than a birthday-it's a Lion Gate Portal, a day of power, alignment, and new beginnings.

May this year bring you strength, peace, abundance & complete healing.

Lester is on the road to recovery. Please keep sending love, light, and prayers his way.

Out of an abundance of caution and to allow him the rest he needs, Badu Lounge will be CLOSED tonight.

We'll be back and better soon!
Thank you for understanding and for being part of the Badu family. 🖤💛🖤
