Mama checked out my book 📚 @nypl while I visited. This was a beautiful moment for me! 🥰

Posted @withregram • @tamarapizzoli #Dallas late night a couple of nights ago...
Suspended between the then and the now, the astral realm--the dreaming and awake state...
Went to check out my friend @picnictyme’s event called #CasaBloom where @erykahbadu aka DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown was spinnin'. My intention was to give her a copy of my book 'Bold Words from Black Women,' though @blvkbeats & I were happy to just be in her orbit on a date night.

Hard to put into words what the night was & meant. Felt like the sweetest syrup being poured on my southern soul to bathe in a musical volley of Badu singing her own jams & playing my favs like Back that Thang Up, Blow the Whistle, Stevie Wonder...ahhhhhhh. Dallas you tryna make me miss you, I thought...

Not sure if it was in an actual dream, or a daydream, but I'd already met Erykah in my mind...in a Whole Foods parking lot on Greenville. I could see it clearly, though only imagined at the time. She said somethin' as I stood in front of her, and I reached out to touch a hem of her garment.

Well after such an incredible sonic experience, Picnic invited us to come around to the side of the stage. I don't get tongue tied often, but when I found myself positioned in front of this icon, who is a beauty and a balm to so many of my homegirls and to me, in the very same stance, on the other side of the game changer, but in real life this time, well...it went a lil something like this...

Me: blah blah blah I curated this book and live in Rome and blah blah blah want you to have it

Badu: Is your contact info in here?

Me: Nah but blah blah blah and I just wow I've kinda dreamed this moment before

Badu: So I should get it from Picnic?

Me: Yes...um, I've dreamed this moment so I just need to --
*reaches out and touches the hem of her garment, a fly ass jacket and stutters, "Ok, thank you."

She floats away.

I levitate for the rest of the evening.

Picnic lovingly affirms, "Girl! You deserved that!" 💛
