    How I Style My Mom’s Prom Dress

    I didn’t quite put on the dress, as much as I wrestled it. After sliding the heirloom garment out of its rosy sleeve, I realized it was seamless, but getting it on, would not be. That is how my grandmother sewed it, so it would fit my mother like a glove when she dawned it… Read more

Today’s office: The California State Capitol interviewing CA First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom! Shoutout to my lovely photographer @tamara_on_earth who filmed and edited this wonderful piece on Ag Day! And the Academy Award for best picture [taker] goes to…. @howsogia! ✨🎞️ My outfits and my people🙌 Let me tell you a story about the power of mentorship: Seven years ago my @pepperdine journalism professor, @theresamdelos introduced me and other students to @foxla’s @marlatellez. During a mentorship dinner, I asked Marla if I could shadow her while she was anchoring. She said yes, and I got to spend an entire day at FOX LA, hoping one day like her, I could serve my community as a TV News Anchor. Fast forward to today, I get an unexpected call from our @fox40news team that FOX LA wants me to report for them live on TV during a major weather event in NorCal! I got to share the screen with LEGENDS @elexmichaelson (fellow @uscannenberg alum) and @devinenews (fellow fashion aficionado). And little did I know, that Marla was watching! Mentorship is a seed planted in someone that nurtures their growth for years to come. It’s beautiful when others believe in you, you believe in yourself, and you believe in others. ENTERTAINMENT COVERAGE: When #paulthomasanderson is filming a movie in Sacramento starring #leonardodicaprio and #teyanataylor, you better believe I’m covering it 🎥 Candids at Court 🎤 Stopped and [wore] the roses this NYE! 🌹 2023 was filled with HEALTHY AND HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Javana Abrussezze
