Middle school better  bring it , because Gracie’s coming in hot. 🔥 Then there’s  my nephews, Ricardo and Ralphie , who both graduated in  Laredo, TX  and reminded me that our family doesn’t just show up—we  shine . ✨ 🎓  Ricardo  graduated from  Alexander High School , earning  Magna Cum Laude Honors 👏🏽. I didn’t make the ceremony but I  did  attend the celebration—and let me tell you, that party brought so much joy. What made it extra special? His band with his brother  Benny  did ...
