Sip & Slay: My Favorite Christmas Martinis This Season Martinis will always be in. Period. But Christmas martinis? Those are a different sport. And listen, I know, I KNOW, some of the cocktails on this list are not technically martinis. But the internet has decided that if you pour something into a martini glass, it becomes a martini.

3 Black-Owned Businesses to Try in Nashville This September Why I Highlight Black-Owned Businesses (And Always Will) I didn’t grow up with a list of Black-owned businesses taped to the fridge, but now, I keep one in my Notes app like my life depends on it. Why? Because it kinda does. Supporting Black-owned businesses isn’t just about cute brunch spots or fly boutiques; it’s about pouring into people who pour into us. It’s about intention. It’s about community. And it’s especially about making sure our money circulates in places where it can create real change. As a Black creative, I know firsthand how hard it is to build something from the ground up. I see the hustle behind every cocktail, candle, and curated experience. So, each month for Black in Nashville on Legacy Said So, I’ll be highlighting 3 Nashville Businesses owned by Black people you should check out, starting…
