⚜️ HAPPY MARDI GRAS 2024 ⚜️
💜 Let the good times roll! It’s Mardi Gras time and we’re here to share the joy with our little music lovers!
💛 DID YOU KNOW: The first recorded Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans took place in 1837. Since then it has grown into a widely celebrated event with parades, parties, and cultural festivities attracting people from all over the world.
💚 Also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras isn’t only about big parades and elaborate costumes. It is a celebration of togetherness among family and friends, creating unforgettable memories together.
💜 Today we are embracing the family-friendly side of Mardi Gras, and wishing you all a day filled with toe-tapping tunes, silly dances, and lots of laughter.
⭐️ Stay tuned to Vasthy & Friends for more content, more fun, and more good times in the weeks and months to come!! 🌈

We can’t celebrate Martin Luther Long Jr without celebrating Mrs Coretta Scott King, a public figure whose lifelong advocacy for the oppressed and underrepresented deserves recognition in its own right.
✍🏽 One of the most influential African-American leaders of her time, Mrs. King received honorary doctorates from over 60 colleges and universities; authored two books, edited a compilation of quotes by Dr. King, maintained a nationally-syndicated newspaper column, and served on and helped found dozens of organizations.
👩🏽🦱 Balancing motherhood and movement work, Mrs. King was a mother, a wife, a civil rights activist, a passionate speaker, an organized and inspiring figure whose impact was felt on a global scale.
❤️ “What most did not understand then was that I was not only married to the man I loved, but I was also married to the movement that I loved.” —Coretta Scott King

✨ I love Mary Poppins. I had the honor of being in the Original Broadway Cast. I was always sad this song didn’t make it into the musical.
🌈Vasthy and friends sang this for women’s history month, a few years ago and it was so fun to create.
✨This video is dedicated to our
Sister suffragette Glynis Johns who passed yesterday at the age of 100 years old. 🌈
sung by: @hennihennisanchez @its_angellin @thejennoble and myself.
arranged by: @its_angellin
🌈 This weekend was incredible. Thank you to all who came out, to the cast and to @smplayhouse for giving us space to create.
☀️We’re back and ready to spread love and joy to all. More coming soon 🌈✨

🥳 HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VASTHY!!!
🌟 Woohoo!! Join us as we celebrate Vasthy Mompoint, our inspiring, talented, and fearless leader on her birthday!
❤️ From building a platform (with fun, original, and educational kids content) to support parents during the pandemic, to creating a space for children to learn and truly seeing themselves represented, to giving creatives/performers an opportunity to CREATE when the world shut down, to now releasing a children’s music album…she personifies ✨ Black Girl Magic ✨ in our humble opinions!
🎁 We could go on and on about how much we admire her for sharing her wealth of talent, wisdom, support, and love with us but instead we’ll just express our gratitude and well wishes for a bright year ahead. —Almost as bright as she, herself, shines!
Happy Birthday, Vasthy! 👸🏿🎉🎂🎁🧁
