I first met Nia at a Rising Tide Capital event, where I learned more about her business Myrtle & Flossie. Nia has a wealth of knowledge and advice to offer for fashion lovers and moms on the go. I stopped by her boutique at 140 Sip Ave. in the journal square neighborhood of Jersey City to […]
Break A Leg Show
Break A Leg Showcase was back at it again at Cafe Sole, a local Soul Food restaurant home to events organized by various performing and visual artists.

County Prep Alumni Dance Concert

It’s always great to support the local Hip-Hop scene in Jersey City. I was especially excited to see how many New Jersey underground greats were on the bill, a few of whom I’ve shared […]
