Last night was something truly special. Last November, I was trapped in a neverending nightmare. Today I have real hope for the future.

Congratulations Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social ! 🗽❤️

I'm convinced Sondheim wrote "Sooner Or Later" just to let me live my gin-sipping lounge singer fantasies 🎤💃🏻🎹

I've been experimenting with eyeshadow and mascara lately, and I'm loving the results ✨👁️👁️✨

This one is for all the kids who learned to live free after years of living as "different" ❤️

Here's "Not My Father's Son" from Kinky Boots.

Wanted to be like the cute gym gays and take a post-run selfie... Then I snapped the pic and realized there's a reason why I don't take photos after working out 🙃

For the Mama's Next Big Act finale, we all had to put our own spin on the jazz standard "All of Me" Given all my open call trauma, it's only natural I turned it into a (manic) audition 🎹🎶😅

The moment they said my name, I turned into a blubbery mess. But the joy I felt was worth a few tears 🥹❤️

This summer, I entered the Mama's Next Big Act cabaret competition at #donttellmamanyc. Spent eight weeks singing with 22 fabulous contestants. And on Monday night, I was crowned this year's winner. To say that my heart is full wouldn't do it justice ❤️🥰❤️

Oh. And did I mention that I was selected to sing the national anthem at commencement? 😌💅🏻

Just practicing for the last final of my masters degree 🎓

As a singer with little interest in leading a choir, I never thought conducting would be something I'd learn during my grad school career. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm proud of the progress 🎉🧑🏻‍🎓
