Adam & Leshia
Wedding Party
Michelle Mwalimu
Maid of Honor
We met in high school and have been attached at the hip ever since! She’s been my partner in crime and my shoulder to cry on. Through the years she’s taught me how to cook, the best wines to buy, fashion tips, wrote my college papers...I mean helped me write my college papers, and the list goes on and on. But most importantly, she has shown me unconditional love in a judgement-free space. I’m so honored to have her has my Maid of Honor and sister always.
Chontae Coleman
Bridesmaid
I met this wonderful lady standing at the bus stop on our first day of middle school. She got me through the most awkward stages of growing up in the cut throat streets of middle school. I admire her fearless pursuit of happiness, work ethic and devotion to her family. She and her partner Nikki have the two sweetest little twins who will be debuting as our flower girls!
Jasmine Lataillade
Bridesmaid
I’m so blessed to have this hot and fiery Haitian-New Yorker in my life. She brings tons of passion and love to everything she does and everyone she cares for. She has taught me two very important things, 1) set goals and attack them and 2) there is no sale that can’t be bargained or negotiated.
Judy Hunter
Bridesmaid
One of the wisest woman I know. She’s a ball of positive energy that just gives and gives and gives. She is my sound board in our faith and I can always count on her tell me the truth. Who she is as a person is what sparked my interest in attending church again and that has forever changed my world.
Tamika Banks
Bridesmaid
I worked with this wonderful woman for two years and is one of the best Occupational Therapist I know. When we met the friendship grew instantly. One of my favorite things about her is that she’s a steady and calming force when everything else around seems chaotic. I miss working with her so much, but I’m so glad our lives have crossed paths. Now she is stuck with me forever!
Kurt Summers
Groomsman
A friend from business school (BP4BA) I spent many a night on his couch talking politics, listening to music, playing Madden, and drinking whisky. Kurt inspires me to push past my limits and to rethink what is possible. He teaches me what it is to be a leader, and to not be afraid to follow your calling in your own way.
Jibreel Lockhart
Groomsman
A friend and section mate from business school (BP4BA). We bonded when we went to a conference in DC together in our first month of school. A role model to me and countless others, Jibreel teaches me what it means to be intentional about what’s important, and to put family at the core of all you do
Alok Deshpande
Groomsman
A friend from business school (BP4BA). We bonded early over an Atlanta connection and ended up in a study group together. The most entrepreneurial person I know, and quite possibly the smartest, Alok is a model of perseverance and he teaches me that it is indeed possible to make the world a better place by how you live every day.
Iman Tyson
Groomsman
A friend from business school. Became closer when we both ended up in DC after school. We were in a small group together and he and his now wife Mashari listened patiently while I complained incessantly about the perils of online dating. Always building others up, and the most positive person I know, Iman teaches me what selfless sacrifice looks like and lives like.
Aakash Thakkar
Groomsman
A friend from work. He shares my affinity for all things DC and may serve as a reference on my application for Native Washingtonian status. A true friend, and one of the best real estate developers this city has ever seen, Aakash teaches me what it is to embrace who you are, infuse it into what you do, and not sacrifice what is most important.
