This October was packed with high-energy achievements as I continue to push the limits with each new This October was packed with high-energy achievements as I continue to push the limits with each new challenge. From setting the rhythm at Shine Tribe’s wearable arts showcase to tackling another intense fitness milestone, it’s been a month of vibrant progress—and I’ve got some new gear to share, too!

Bringing the Beats to Shine Tribe’s Wearable Arts Showcase

In the spirit of community and creativity, I had the amazing opportunity to bring my DJ skills to the Shine Tribe’s wearable arts showcase, making it an unforgettable night! The event was filled with awe-inspiring artistry, as models walked the runway in handcrafted pieces, each telling a unique story. My beats set the perfect tone, adding energy to the showcase and creating a dynamic atmosphere that brought everyone together. This wasn’t just about fashion; it was a celebration of creativity, self-expression, and unity, and I was thrilled to be part of it!

5th Fundraising Challenge: Smashing the CrossFit Circuit!

The fifth fundraising challenge kicked off at dawn with a serious burst of energy as I joined a CrossFit circuit class arranged by my sister, Maria. From the start, I knew this would be intense, but with determination and some solid gym training under my belt, I was ready to take it on. Here’s the circuit rundown:

5 Shuttle Runs
10 Sit-Ups
20 Step-Ups
40 Seconds on the Bike
5 Burpees
40 Seconds of Skipping
30 Seconds on the Rowing Machine

I had to complete this set four times, with just a two-minute rest between rounds. It was no small feat, but with a supportive crowd cheering me on, I powered through each exercise and smashed the circuit! Huge thanks to Haven Community for providing a great space to complete this challenge.

New DJ Gear!

On top of all this, I recently got a brand-new set of decks! Check out my photos for a look at the setup—I’m excited to bring even more energy to each event with these.
