Today, we “ cut the umbilical cord”, and sent our daughter to her first day of Kindergarten. It’s been a special time setting her up for this new journey. As a stay at home mom, I’ve had the privilege and honor of teaching her everything she knows since she was born. In the past 5 years, she has grown into such an amazing, kind & intelligent kid. I cannot wait to see her continue to blossom and become everything she is meant to be! I am happy to say she will still be able to make it to our Zumba classes most days! She says she doesn’t want to miss them.

I want to say thank you to all of YOU who have encouraged her in class to shine bright and be unapologetically herself. WE set her up for success, and I seriously couldn’t have done it without all of you who attend my classes. Every interaction and high-five instilled confidence in her that only experience in the real world can give. 🫶🏽 Let’s congratulate Jhené on her bravery to go out into the world without her mommy or daddy by her side. We cannot wait to touch-base with her every night while she teaches us everything she learned.

As for me, I am being very strong for her. No tears have flown yet, especially not in front of her. I am actually very at peace with my decision to enroll her in kindergarten vs homeschooling this milestone. Thank you to everyone sending me texts, checking in on us.

God, thank you for your protection, love and guidance over our children. 🙏🏾

This past weekend was my mother-in-law, Lola’s birthday, and I just want to give everyone a chance to put a smile on her face this week by writing something for her to read on this post. I’ll start! 🫶🏽🙏🏾

Lola, you are a HUGE inspiration in this community on and offline! People take notice of how graceful you move & how much you support me! I get messages all the time saying things like “ I love how much Lola is in all your videos and classes.” People notice how you always welcome them into the class, and they appreciate how you check up on them before, during and after class! You give up your favorite spot for the newbies to be able to feel empowered in what they do! You are a team player, and you are always looking out for our family. It truly takes a village to build what we’ve built here, and you are a BIG part of why this journey has been so successful. 🫶🏽 I cannot thank you enough.

I know you had no idea that stepping into this Zumba world with me would absolutely change your life. I bet you had no idea that you would be someone people look up to in this Zumba world! I want you to know ever since you stepped onto the dance floor, you have inspired so many people to come to my class & to take care of themselves. We all love & admire you so much!

You inspire me everyday to be strong & determined. YOU are an answered prayer of mine. I hope everyone gets to have someone like you in their corner. I know this birthday wasn’t “normal” or at all what we’re used to, but I am so glad you accepted all the love, gifts & joy we all have for you. I am very proud of you for being EXTREMELY thankful for being alive & healthy. You are one of the most selfless people I have ever met, and I pray that I gain as much wisdom as possible from you. I love you so much!

If you’ve ever been touched or inspired by my MIL, please leave a comment for her to read this week! Nothing is too small or big. Kindness goes a long way!

Today’s Zumba Gold session was fire and FULL 🔥 Thank you to everyone that came out to my class today because they heard the local media outlets were invited to showcase the energy and impact of my classes at Oak St. Health! Unfortunately, they didn’t come, but nonetheless, we had an amazing Zumba Gold experience. I am truly in awe of the community we are building here in Chicago/Elmwood Park. I am beyond grateful for all the support and love. Thank you for filling up the space today for me…. 🥹🙏🏾
