I Went to Paris once… I left with about 4 days notice after some friends said they were studying aboard there. broken suitcase wheels, coach flight ticket, unconfirmed hotel and my iPhone 4s.. those were the days. I also saw the mono Lisa and it was underwhelming.
Aaliyah’s first dance Recital…. Over the moon. 🌙 She performed infront of a very large and supportive crowd. I’m so pumped right now. 🌹🌹🌹
DR photo dump… Such a dope wedding. Clearly Rachel’s theme was orange this weekend.
The most amazing experience to be apart of.. happy Mother’s Day
**April was Alcohol Responsibility Month! 🌟**

In April, we engaged in discussions and activities that highlight responsible drinking With and the rests of the team At the 2024 responsibility.com influencer summit in Washington DC. Awesome insight and perspectives that last a lifetime.

There are a few new people around so here’s a quick summary of what you have stumbled upon here in Season 4 episode 11.
My wife Rachel and I met as Adults well after college. We’ve been married for 4 yrs. She graduated from Purdue, I graduated from an HBCU but we get along just fine. We snuck off to Vegas and got secretly married in a cheesy Elvis Presley style chapel. Rachel wore a romper, I had on jeans shorts and a fitted hat. We often have 2 completely different experiences 99% of the time. Which makes our relationship very dynamic. We embrace each other’s personalities more today than yesterday. It’s an up and down process but we say it’s just a part of Being Married. ( check my bio link for our Being Married series on YT).
Taj is 4 yrs old and our first born. I never changed a diaper until he was born. I was incredibly excited when we heard he was coming. He acts like me but smarter. He catch’s on to things extremely fast and is pretty quick witted. We sing karaoke together in the car on the way to school And we have pretty meaningful conversations.
Aaliyah is our 2nd born and She is the first girl born in our family in 30 years. I was incredibly nervous to have a daughter but now I can’t picture not having one. She is a HUGE learning curve for me and I’m embracing every minute of it. And she gets what she wants. And I’m ok with that.
And I’m D’Anthony. I contribute to social
Media platforms by creating digestible content of these positive, very authentic interactions I have with each person in my family because you deserve to see images and hear stories like these.
I own a brand called where we encourage people to enhance their interactions with others by being more compassionate, going the extra mile and adding value to people.

I would like every person that stumbles here to know that the most valuable parts of life are in the very simple moments you experience. You should be all caught up now 🙏🏾🙏🏾😁 I think you will appreciate this

One thing we know how to do is kick it.

I’m sure your baby registry has gone through deep Scrutiny and analysis with input from everyone you know with a baby. We were the same way. We didn’t think to add an air purifier to the registry but I’m here to say that you should! It’s great to have something that helps increase the air quality. And as a bonus, its incredibly quiet and to me is simulates a white noise machine help Aaliyah Fall asleep. You can grab this Crane Air purifier from in store or online! Happy register building!

Let’s change how we see blackfatherhood, I’m excited to partner with as we celebrate black dads by introducing you to some Dads that you should know! We represent a large group of men that are incredibly intentional and growth focus…I appreciate these men and their experiences.
Here’s something you may not know. My wife will ask “ What do you want to do?” And I’ll reply “ nothing “
Initially it sounds like a pleasantry that avoids an inconvenience... But for men, “Nothing” translates to being granted permission to mentally detach from the day to day if even for an hour with a glass of bourbon from . Next time you hear him say nothing... look a little deeper. I hope you appreciate that
It takes madd work to get everyone on the same page. But eventually it all works out. Look at my lil family.

I’ve been spending time creating a space for me in my office that is highly personalized. I noticed that my efforts have a dual benefit. The kids ask deeper questions about my wall art because they see me in the photos. They learn. I talk.
