Five years ago today my life changed and the life

Five years ago today my life changed and the life of millions of other Americans directly. Five years ago today the US Supreme Court ruled that I had the right to marry and love the person I choose. No matter their gender. I’m forever grateful for that 5-4 decision. At our wedding in September 2015 we affirmed our marriage with the words of Justice Kennedy who said: “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.”

It is not over. We are not safe. For the love of all things good - please stay indoors and if you’re outside wear a mask. Social distance. Stop hugging your cousin. We have community spread in the US. This is not a joke.

Happy Fathers Day to this guy. He’s funny, irrev

Happy Fathers Day to this guy. He’s funny, irreverent, kind, witty and a great example of what it means to be a man and a dad. He always taught me that emotions are real, love is worth fighting for and your word is your bond. Love you daddy. ❌⭕️

The origin of all BEAUTY is BLACK; anything else t

The origin of all BEAUTY is BLACK; anything else that you have been fed is a false narrative about the world’s history. As we recognize JUNETEENTH today, the freeing of Blacks in America in 1865, we also recognize that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH because RACISM IS A THORN IN AMERICA’S FLESH. When our ancestors were brought here in 1619, they were beautiful creatures; when America gained its independence, our ancestors were still beautiful creatures and even now in 2020, we remain beautiful, FREE creatures. Today, we don’t just celebrate a holiday, we declare that we won’t wait…WE ARE CREATING CHANGE. As BLACK EVENT PROFESSIONALS WHO MATTER, this REVOLUTION won’t be planned, IT WILL BE EXECUTED. We can BRING A SEAT TO THE TABLE, BUT WE CAN BRING THE TABLE TOO. We encourage you to SEE LIFE IN COLOR. We will BE SEEN, BE HEARD; WE WILL BE A MOVEMENT. We rededicate ourselves to knowing our history, to sharing herstory; but even more so to writing our story because inevitably it becomes YOUR STORY. Happy Freedom Day! #juneteenthcelebration #blacklivesmatter #blackeventprosmatter @janethowardstudio #unitythroughcommunity

Look at God! This accidental behind the scenes video was taken of our bride (and my baby sister) as she was waiting to enter the church. The way the wind captures her veil as she walks in takes my breath away every time. Thanks to @edgedesigngroup for the gorg florals. @verawanggang for that incredible gown and my team for allowing me to be a big brother on her big day and not just her planner. #bybriangreen #luxurywedding #swoon #verawang

Thought I’d do a #tbt to this most intimate and gorgeous wedding in #tuscany #italy at the @borgobastiacreti. Was the perfect spot for a fabulous destination wedding for 25 guests to enjoy the week of planned events and exploring on their own. Oh... yes, I forgot to mention - it was my wedding. ☺️. Don’t be afraid of intimate sized weddings not being fabulous! The view alone here over the valley was all we needed and then I kept the design clean and true to the location w fab stationery touches from @paperedwonders and custom keepsake napkins from @idolinens

When you say you don’t see color what you’re saying is you don’t see the person or object fully. You don’t absorb and appreciate all of the beauty that makes the subject unique. The goal is to ALWAYS see color, embrace the beauty and the differences and celebrate them equally. #celebratefabulously #bybriangreen #blacklivesmatter photo @shawnaherringphotography

Thanks to @brides publication for naming me one of the 100 black event professionals to support. I’ve been published in their magazine and online with them a few times in the past so it’s nice to be acknowledged and to know that they heard us as we called for stronger ally ship. It’s important and this step is a big gesture towards dispersing the divide. I look forward to next year when there is a fully integrated list of all talented people and making that one as well! #bybriangreen #celebratefabulously

My bride and groom were about being proud of our heritage and making a statement in front of the “Colored Waiting Room” sign at their historic southern venue in Macon GA. @inijephoto captured this iconic moment beautifully. #blacklivesmatter #fortheculture #whentheyseeus @moderngentstyle @pninatornai @edgedesigngroup

With everything going on in the world, Resets in l

With everything going on in the world, Resets in life are good. Resets allow you to refocus the narrative and to shape a new direction as you move forward. So, let me re-introduce myself to those who may not know me and to those who think they do. In our history lies power and understanding that I am not begging for a seat at the table but that I have earned the right for a seat at ANY table. . I am a former hotelier and was a senior manager of a 4-star all-inclusive property in Barbados. .

I was a Diplomat for over 10 years serving my country with pride as Vice Consul at our Consulate in Miami. I have been a Tourism Marketing leader and was a Destination Management expert, where I was charged with managing the look and experience of Barbados at events and activations. .

I didn’t come to planning because I thought events were pretty or I got married and did my own (not that there is anything wrong with that) but I did the work. . I studied HARD for my CMP and my CMM (equal to a Masters in Events) have been an event professional for over 20 years. I have done events all across the US (30 of the 50 states), Canada, Mexico, Barbados, Jamaica, St Lucia, Italy, UK, and Dominican Republic. I planned & executed an event that was attended by 22 World Leaders in Washington, DC. I have planned and executed over 500 events in my career – 99.5% flawlessly. I am human and I have made mistakes and I have grown from them each and every time. .

I have planned fabulous six figure weddings and events and I love the ability to collaborate with a wide diverse group of event pros as we bring the fabulous. I am an event planning mentor, a cheerleader for my industry and a fierce ally for my friends. I have spoken at conferences all over the world, because my passion is to see everyone in the events industry get the same opportunities that I had. I have been featured in every notable publication in print, online, on local and international television and even on The Steve Harvey Show. I know who I am. .

I am proud of my journey, the good and the bad of it – and I am here still ready to grow, to learn and to do the next big thing. Nice to meet you. #blacklivesmatter
