My nine days in the Midwest during J4 was a really good time. I relaxed more. I went with the flow more. I ate more. And gained more…weight, friends, love, and light.
Spending 77.7% of my trip with family, I discovered something that I knew within my heart, but had never said it out loud.
I have four sisters and we are all very close. If you could see me right now, my fingers are crossed and I’m saying “Like this!”.
I love them and they love me. And yes, on some days, we only like each other.
But just recently, it dawned on me that there’s one sister who I am compatible with 99.999999999999% of the time.
We click. She understands me. I understand her. We hardly argue. We know each other’s weaknesses and strengths. We build upon them together.
So the other day, I told her:
“You are my BEST friend.”
It felt like doves were flying, the sun was shining, and the gates of heaven were opening.
On our way to my J4 gig! (Hair & Make Up by Pa Kou)
My best friend/sister’s name is Pa Kou. And she’s had my back since I was born. We’re two years apart, although no one ever predicts that I’m younger. (Boo.)
She is one of the most thoughtful people I know.
She gives. She’s so giving, she leaves the last ounce of OJ in the fridge out of kindness.
She reminded me of the real me every day when I got bullied in high school.
She always has a funny comment to leave on our Facebook posts.
She went for her dreams, without any guarantees.
She makes men & women feel and look beautiful for a living.
Her blending skills are killer.
She is my favorite make-up artist.
And I get to call her my sister.
Today's not her birthday.
She didn’t win an awesome award (although she has several of those!).
nd President Obama didn't call her...yet.
But today, I am celebrating Pa Kou, because she has given so much of her time and energy to make me feel beautiful -- not only in life, but also in my music career. She did so this past J4 -- play the video below!
Pa Kou's work on the "Ntseeg Kuv" album cover.
She’s already given me so much as her sister; and for her to give to me as I work toward my dreams, I am speechless. The least I can do is to let the world know just how incredible she is.

Thank you so much, Pa Kou.
Is your best friend a sibling too? Or do you know someone just as incredible as Pa Kou? Please leave a comment below; I’d love to hear from you!
