::: DEAR MAMA SERIES

the honor. a few months ago i sat down inside a cozy, silent studio space at Edgehill Music Publishing with the other half of kb x kb, kristen blake. in our industry you know her has a talented itty bit that floats through wardrobe racks in her size nothing ballerina feet. pulling clothes and strings and landing impossible gets with her tight and trusted network of style superheroes near and far.

in my world i know her has a really special and intentional mama, gigi, daughter, friend. over the years i have been blessed to get to know and create with kristen. we've spent a lot of hours purging both sides of the brust closet and all corners of our hearts. collaborating and ordering dinners and creating space for new ideas + new hangers. stories and tears and giggles surrounded in all the textures of loss, life, tulle and satin.

today's Dear Mama episode of In Kristen We Brust is to honor a story that is not mine to tell. a twenty year anniversary of sorts that is powerful and the definition of motherhood. a really tender and beautiful collection of years and heartbeats that have waited to have a place to tuck in and feel safe. a story i have been privileged and trusted with knowing and now… sharing. i am beyond grateful for the raw, delicate way my best friend showed up in my life. today i am beyond grateful for the way she will show up in your's.

kb- thank you for trusting me to be the one to give your story and your girls life in airwaves. twenty years of holding and healing. of floating and now landing in hearts beyond your own. you and madeline have lived so eloquently inside of this story for two decades. i am so proud of the people and mamas you are. this is beautiful and your angel girl is beaming.
