We officially launched our new segment, Book Tank, and let’s just say the stakes have never been higher for literature. Huge gratitude to our brilliant May Author of the Month, Jeff Boyd, for being such an incredible sport, navigating the chaos with us, and sharing the gems behind his phenomenal book, Hard Times.

A massive thank you to our stellar comedy lineup for absolutely setting the room on fire:
✨ Danny Sellers

None of this magic happens without the sharpest badass women in the business. Endless love and thanks to our producer, Maha Yvonne Maldonado for keeping the wheels turning beautifully, and to Odaly for capturing all these incredible moments behind the lens. 📸✨
