One Time For The Camera Man
In a world where your instagram profile is as important as your resume and every moment is documented whether its a birthday fit or a night out with the gang. But with everyone having a camera phone, the lack of respect for actual photographers is at an all time high lol.That being said, one of the greatest things about the Alumni is the Professional Photo Booth and being able to get that printed photo like back in the Gogo. Maybe its me being “old” but that was our first IG, a wall full of Gogo pictures.

Goonmilk Message of the Day: Perspective
This has been the best year of my life. Not my most lucrative, not my most productive, but my most self aware, loving, and the most personal growth I’ve accomplished in a long time. Accomplishing personal goals and becoming more of the man I feel I’m supposed to be. This thanksgiving I’m most thankful for the mindset and perspective that has given me this space to grow and walk in my purpose, start a family, and continue to push my brand and business relentlessly.
Mama I made it!
If you read my blog you know I recently was apart of LongLiveGogoDC’s Mumbo Connection Fashion Show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only did I walk in my first fashion show but had the opportunity to have my own scene to present my brand as well. It was a last minute opportunity I wasn’t gonna pass up.
