Hey Locals! 👋🏽

Warmer weather is finally here and April is coming in HOT.

Between April Fools, Easter events, and new openings… there’s a LOT happening this week—so I’m getting straight to the good stuff so you don’t miss anything.

Quick Local Updates

Creative Chao Studio– Black-owned mobile art + karaoke bus is having their grand opening April 4th (this is such a fun group activity idea)

Pikes Cinema - Black Owned cinema in Pikesville celebrating 1 year open with new management! Come celebrate with some throw back movies like Set It Off, Hairspray, Raisin in the Sun and Dreamgirls for FREE on April 4th 🆓

She is the Reason Concert Fundraiser - Unforgettable evening of music, inspiration and community for a cause in Gambrills, MD on April 2nd.

Black Moms Fair - Bowie, MD

If you’ve been thinking about going… this is your sign to grab tickets now before they sell out.

This isn’t just an event—it’s an experience.

The Black Moms Fair is all about pouring into Black mothers and families through:
inspiring speakers
Black-owned vendors
wellness resources
family-friendly activities

It’s one of those events where you leave feeling full—not just entertained.

And I’ll be there as a guest speaker 🙌🏾

If you’re coming, make sure you come say hi—we’ll be talking motherhood, self-care, and building your village.

FREE Italian Ice 🍧 (April 1st)

Let’s start April with something FREE

Tia’s Italian Ice is celebrating their anniversary by giving out free Italian ice—and yes, it’s:
✔️ Black-owned
✔️ vegan
✔️ dairy-free & gluten-free

Perfect quick stop with the kids… or a little treat for yourself.

April Fools… but make it fun (not annoying)

Let’s be real…
April Fools can either be hilarious… or ruin someone’s whole day.

So here are a few easy pranks that are actually fun—and won’t have anyone mad at you after 😅

1. The “Broken Screen” Prank

Change their phone wallpaper to a cracked screen image.

Watch them panic for 2 seconds… then laugh.

Bonus: Film their reaction (this is content gold for you)

2. The “TV Remote Not Working”

Put a tiny piece of tape over the remote sensor.

Watch them press buttons like:
“Why is this not working??”

Then you magically “fix it” like you’re tech support 😂

3. The “Unexpected Wake-Up”

Set their alarm label to something wild like:
👉 “WAKE UP YOU’RE LATE FOR YOUR FLIGHT”
👉 “You missed the meeting!!”

Let panic hit for 3 seconds… then:
“April Fools 😌

5. The “Brown E’s” Dessert Trick

Tell everyone you made brownies.

Bring out a tray of cut-out letter “E’s” made from brown paper.

Then actually bring real brownies after 😂

This is very “mom audience” coded — they’ll eat this up

5. The “Switch Their Phone Language”

Change their phone language to something random.

Hand it back like nothing happened.

Watch the confusion build 😂
