Trip is over.
After working through denial, pain, and anger, I’ve circled back to the denial stage. I consulted my brother Young James seeking inspiration to wrap up an epic month: “Juxtaposition, Meg, juxtaposition.”
Ghana vs. New York City:
Magic! Come!
vs.
Your invoice appears below and is due the first of the month.
Monkeys & Goats
vs.
Rats & Pigeons
Sauntering down the dusty village road greeting all passersby, stopping to indulge in a Fandago pop, plantain chips, and a cocacola light.
vs.
Lugging 3 bags per person through public transport (giving a woman an allergic reaction from the smuggled peanuts in our carryon)... and the wind and rain.
The only way to acclimate back to NYC is to take a good nap and hit the ground running. Next up on the 9th: the photoshoot! One of the best aspects of my new job has been the incredibly talented people I get to collaborate with. Introducing the All Star crew, I am in awe of them:
***Photographer James de Leon - Jimmy James gets the dreamy look that just knocks me out. I had to have him.
***Stylist & Jewelry Designer Julianna Vezzetti – Cool Jules oozes magic.
Minnesota native = good people
***Jewelry Designer Jessica Lennertz Tonti. Golden girl gives a golden glow of sweetness to her one of a kind pieces
Trip is just beginning.
This is gonna be epic!
