Born in the wrong era… because why do the ’80s look this good on me? 😂

Smiling with my eyes closed because some moments are meant to be felt more than explained. ❤️🇺🇸

Since 1999, this country has been part of my story. It has given me opportunities to grow, to learn, to dream, and to become the woman I am today. Looking back, I am filled with gratitude for every lesson, every blessing, and every person who has been part of this journey.

Watching my children celebrate today reminds me just how beautiful this journey has been. My heart is full of gratitude for the life we are building together and for the opportunities that continue to shape our future.

Happy Independence Day from our family to yours. 🇺🇸✨

Smiles, gratitude, and a moment worth keeping. 🇨🇩

Some moments remind you that history isn’t only found in books. Sometimes, you’re fortunate enough to witness it unfold before your own eyes.

This past Saturday, I had the incredible privilege of being in Atlanta for our World Cup match and watching my country make history. The atmosphere was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Every goal brought an eruption of joy. Complete strangers embraced one another like family, united by a love for our country and the belief that we were witnessing something far greater than a football match.

What made the experience even more meaningful was knowing our children were watching from home. Although they haven’t had the opportunity to visit Congo yet, they celebrated every goal with us. They witnessed the pride, the resilience, and the joy that define our people. Moments like these help them understand that being Congolese is more than a place on a map. It’s a legacy they carry wherever they go.

As we celebrate the Independence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo today, I’m reminded that our strength has always been found in our unity, our perseverance, and our unwavering hope for the future.

I’m deeply grateful that I was able to witness this historic moment in person and that our children experienced it in their own way. These are the stories we’ll tell for years to come. They strengthen our roots and remind us where we come from.

To my beautiful Congo, Happy Independence Day. 🇨🇩

Here’s to our past, our present, and a future that continues to make history. The dream is no longer just a dream. We’re living it.

Vive la RDC. Vive le peuple congolais. ❤️💙💛

Red dress. Black suit. Married & thriving. ❤️‍🔥 He did NOT come to play this Valentine’s. Who else loves seeing couples win at love? 💘

This Thanksgiving hits different… 7 weeks postpartum and my heart has never been more full. Grateful for strength, family, quiet moments, and God’s goodness through it all. 🍁🤎

A moment captured before she arrived, a journey that changed me in every way. 🥰

4️⃣0️⃣ days of healing, adjusting, bonding, and protecting my peace — honoring the woman I was while carrying her, and the quiet strength these days have restored in me.

I knew her gender for weeks, but wanted to make it unforgettable for my husband and kids. 💗
At the Dallas Botanical Garden, we revealed our first Princess — with her little protectors. 👑
And a week ago, she’s finally in our arms, and our hearts are full. 🤍
