It’s your girl Leka, and in this special vlog-style episode, I’m taking y’all through my very first Essence Festival, from the Garden District Airbnb with no washcloths to the 2AM Lauryn Hill surprise performance.
I share everything: chaotic parking, food that shut my Gemini mouth, biscuit-induced nostalgia, waiting in Target lines I didn’t know were controversial, and the pure joy of dancing, laughing, and vibing with my baby sister, Kenesha and good friend Charita.
I also give my honest take on the concerts, including Babyface, Coco Jones, Glorilla, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and why Ms. Lauryn Hill left me... conflicted.
This is not just a festival recap, it’s a full-on journey of laughter, exhaustion, and real-life reflection. If you’ve ever been to Essence (or wanted to go), this one’s for you.
🎟️ Would I go again? Maybe. But only if the lineup is giving and my knees are rested.
🖤 As always, stay cute, stay petty, and be safe out there. Bye.
