Over the weekend I flew to Minneapolis to surprise my mother for Mother’s Day (See the viral video below) and I couldn’t come to Minneapolis with out paying my respect!
When my mother called asking if I heard that Prince died and my heart dropped. I reflected on his life and his music as well as a funny story that I had. Here is the story:
I was working at Macy’s Oak Grill and he was promoting his fragrance 3121 and we had an exclusive dinner for him and his guest. I was the host. He was floating to the bathroom and there was a board with the menu on it. He literally floated underneath the board, I couldn’t do that. He was a short man.
I was heartbroken because I was all the way in Dallas and all my friends and family were posting all the events they were attending. What was really shocking to me is that, I did not realize how much of an effect Prince had on the world! THE WHOLE WORLD MOURNED. Do you know how beautiful that is? Cities celebrated his life by many different things.
I was glad that Dallas participated and I took this very dangerous video:
There are so many posts going around about how he died or why he died but I will just celebrate his life and legacy!
I went to the memorial and to my surprise people were still visiting and taking many pictures. Here are some of the photos that I took UNEDITED! Enjoy!
On some of the photos, you will see titles and some of the lyrics of some of his songs!

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man- And I said, baby don’t waste your time I know what’s on your mind I may be qualified for a one night stand But I could never take the place of your man It hurt me so bad when she told me With tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes) He was all she ever had And now she wanted to die

There are so many Christian Influencers telling us who and who not to listen to when it comes to false preachers and teachers. I feel that they do not properly equip and empower us with the practical ways to use our discernment to identify for ourselves. When I rededicated my life to God, I wanted…
