I wish that more black bloggers would do more events like Essence. You are very relatable, you mix high and low and have not gone completely luxury. Oh and I need to make it New Orleans and Essence Fest.

I love how you always dress. That’s a vibe. There’s no such thing as overdressed. I love that💗

Hey Girl Hey. I'm a woman of a particular age....LOL, and I watch you and I am so so proud of you! You are doing what we couldn't do when we were your age. Keep going, stay respectful and Girl LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! Don't settle.....Mrs. Clee

Hey Girlfrin , baby Grandma wasn’t having it ! Loved the Gucci skirt I’m currently on the hunt for one . Don’t stop G we need more mature influencers like you !

Loved this vlog so much. I wish we had something like Essence fest in the UK but until then I need to start planning my trip to hopefully go next year x

OMG Gi I was so happy that you got a Janet ticket, but so sad you couldn’t go. I’m sure you’ll see Janet another time. Also, I always think your bedroom is a boutique.

Yes Lady G a very good vlog love the visit to Essence Festival. Loved all the outfits you chose to wear. Glad you listened to your grandmother, it’s all about the wisdom. I too am like the lady you met who is 65 yrs young. I may have mentioned it before but yes I was you 30 years ago but still living out my journey. I tell all young folk stay focused figure things out as you go along. No need to rush through life. What God has for you is for you. Just keep God first.

So happy to see you at Essence as an influencer. Next is fashion week. Keep being consistent. 💕

Gi thanks for sharing! I went to Essence Fest a few years ago. It was fun! Thanks for sharing the 2022 experience. I almost spit out my tea when you were talking about Siri and being somebody stepmom lol. Keep being you. Don't change to fit into societies box. I am older than you, but I watch because of your down to earth personality and individuality. Something that is missing in the world today.

So HAPPY you are going to all the events at EssenceFest and brought us along (of course)! Cheers Beautiful!

G, I'm 53 years young and I anticlipate your videos❤️. Keep doing what you're doing .

You are my muse G 🥰 I'm so happy that you were blessed with the opportunity to experience Essence Fest as an influencer! The Girlfrins love this channel...and that's on period🙌🏾

The Gucci skirt look was AMAZING! If you said God take control for going out with someone you just meet on the Internet, probably he was the one who sent your Grandma to give you a ride, and God also decided that your were not fully vaccinated to go with a stranger.....so thank God...because he takes good care of you.....there is crazy people out there. Happy you had a BLAST at the Essence Fest.

Glad to see you've enjoyed yourself! Keep up the great work and continue to prosper! I am so proud of you, Geranika!

The story about your grandmother happily driving you passed the concert entrance got me rollin 😆

Girl grandma knows!! God blessed her with discernment lmao I would’ve been mad about Janet too though…that was once in a lifetime 😩😭 loved the vlog as usual ❤️❤️

I’m a auntie of a particular age and also enjoy you. Stay focused and continue to thrive. Love the Gucci skirt look!

I was soooooo hoping I would have seen you. When I saw that you were out and about I was so sad I didn’t get to see you. You were giving looks as always. I want that Gucci skirt so bad.

I never knew you were shy because you go out out all the time by yourself on another note you look beautiful and I love that outfit.

Girl thank you for showing my city haven’t been home in a while again thanks

I am loving this star 💫 headband in the braids! ✨✨✨

Thank you so much Gi for letting us interview you. Like I said everyone on the team is big fans of you and your looks ! Cant wait to see more of you as you grow !

Baby… that outfit to the concert was 🔥🔥

Girl you had me cracking up telling that story of how grandma was 🤣. You really had me laughing out loud.

Loved this Vlog! In the recap vid I yelled “alright G”. Def was a vibe! And your looks “gave” at all of the events! “Ain’t nothing like a New Orleans Girl”!

Happy Monday Girlfrin✨ Excited for this vlog & your styling looks.

First of all, Siri haphazardly responds when you call for her but will try to jump in your conversations when you didn’t say not one thing to her. 😂🤣. I’m also one of your more seasoned girlfriends but I find you to be so inspirational and I love the way you maintain your sense of realness. You present fashion in a way that makes luxury still feel attainable and I hope you’re able to maintain that vibe as you grow and elevate. I’m all for elevating to new levels, but I’m finding that some influencers, as they elevate, feel less relatable. I hope you’re able to maintain that raw realness even as you elevate and grow. 🤗

My Sista, that experience was so Righteous…

Hey gurlfrin, you looked gorgeous but I'm team grandma.😩 Grandma prayed for that thang. You are always a vibe.

Love this review! If you're going this year, meet us at the SOKO MRKT!! It's our first year vending at Essence and we can't wait to bring our exclusive, licensed HBCU apparel to New Orleans!!

Thank you for sharing Essence Fest 2022, really enjoyed the festivities and looks 🙅🏾‍♀️

Happy you enjoyed Essence fest! The way you styled the gucci skirt is gold! Your videos are definitely reaching who it needs to reach. Love it

Gurl… you look beautiful. I’m old enough to be your Auntie… I enjoyed this thoroughly. Great style. You were right to spice it up a bit for Janet. 🤗🤗🥰🤗🥰💕

Hey girl hey. Might I suggest adding under cabinet LED strip lighting for your coffee/tea station. Them lights make the kitchen pop!

Yep, we love our G! Happy you had a good time. Btw, never doubt Granny's concern for you. We know those feelings.🥰

Love Grandma she was going on her wisdom....I was crying 🤣🤣 when you said she kept driving.....😂😂...enjoyed watching 👀

Congratulations!!! That's all I can say to you, you look so happy, and meeting some of your followers seems to have lifted you!!!

Wow!!! This was soooo fun to watch!!! You looked beautiful!!! The skirt gave everything it was supposed to give!!!! 🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍🙌🏾😘

Awesome Essence vlog G!! I am so glad you enjoyed yourself and met new people. Im so glad I choice to follow you because you have a down to earth personality. All I can say is that every outfit was such a vibe and your makeup was on point 🥰 . Thanks for taking us with you. Maybe I can attend Essence Festival next year. Have a great week and I will see you on the next vlog.💕

I went but I am not good with uploading videos. Because it was a vibe I truly loved 🥰 being around all kinds of Black people! My soul was uplifted after two years of The C word.

I was hoping you would go to essence fest. I was waiting to see all the fabulous looks and I must say it was well worth it. The looks was giving what needed to be given! I enjoyed watching you evolve into a beautiful social butterfly 🦋.

Yaaaasss this was so dope…okkieee content and looking so fly…luv u G keep doing yon thang!!!!

Grandma sounds hilarious 😂😂

I’m so happy for your growth. I remember watching your first set of videos and saying she’s different. Her path will be refreshing. 🥹😍🥰

Those glasses are Fire!!!

I remember you saying a while ago, that when you first started drinking you were upset with yourself, like “what are you doing?” And that’s how I feel sometimes. But it’s like I think I like wining and cocktails. So how did you get over being hard on yourself? And you always look great. Serving looks. I’m inspired ❤️❤️❤️

Every outfit 🔥🔥🔥 and grandma was kind of right lol 💕💕💕

I'm sorry, but I literally cried at the Janet essence story....and how grandma flew right on past the venue lol

I had a BALL at Essence too! I went just to see Janet and she was AMAZING!! Loved all the panels at the Convention Center too…The Wellness event was nice too!

Gurl I loved this vlog i so wished I came this year but hopefully I will see you next year, I soo love your energy and style , I too am an older gurlfrin. 😍

Janet is a must see! Hopefully you get to see her in concert another time

I AGREE with Grandma!!! Too much is happening in the world today.

I seen you at that day party and I thought that was you because I recognize that Gucci skirt from your channel. You looked amazing!

By the time u leave home it will be late hence grandma is offering to take u. Mothers/grandmas are National Treasures!

Yassss Girlfrin, I live by that,***FIRST IMPRESSION IS LASTING IMPRESSION **, listen I rather be Over-Dress than. Underdressed , that’s just me, like you said your soul and spirit won’t let you go in those Herme flats…👍😃❤️… I am glad you went to essence fest, am shy In going to events also but when destiny starts to call we all have to get out of it and am learning that also especially, sorry you missed Janet…..Blessings!!!,🥰

I loved this video! 🙌 Fashion on 💯👌🏾 per usual!! The story about your grandma had me rolling 🤣… The lady with the ticket 🎟 may have been a genuinely good person but it was just not meant to be. Cause God knows grandma would keep calling you the whole time you at the concert 🤣 I was looking forward to running into you but had to cancel my Essence trip 3 hours before my flight 😭… but there’s always next year. In 2023 you’ll be even bigger and might be able to host your own gig for the girlfriends 👯‍♀️ 🙏🏾

Thank you for sharing your experience at Essence. I want to go next year but was sort of afraid of going by myself until I saw this VLOG. As usual you were stunning in all of your outfits. Girlfriend let's talk about those Fendi shades....FIRE. I'm sorry you didn't make the concert. I know that feeling. I love watching your VLOGS every time one post I say my beautiful niece is about to SLAY. Until the next VLOG be safe and have a great day.
