After an amazing weekend performing at the Ohio Black Expo in Columbus, We kept the fun going with a special visit to COSI — and it was definitely a 10/10 experience!
From the moment me and my sister Lena walked through the doors, the energy was nonstop excitement. The sisters explored interactive exhibits, hands-on science activities, and creative experiences that made learning feel like one giant adventure. Whether they were testing out cool experiments or discovering new technology, every room brought something fun and unforgettable.

One of the highlights of the visit was getting the opportunity to meet the CEO of COSI Dr. Frederic "Dr. B" Bertley. I loved hearing more about the museum’s mission to inspire kids and families through science, creativity, and innovation. It was the perfect stop for two curious young minds who love learning, creating, and having fun.

After spending the day exploring, I had one final review for COSI:

“10 out of 10 — you HAVE to visit!”

If you’re ever in Columbus with your family, make sure COSI is on your list. It’s fun, educational, interactive, and packed with experiences for kids and adults alike. DJ Lily Jade and Lena already can’t wait to go back!

DJ LILY JADE, TANK AND THE BANGAS & FELICIA HANEY

Just got done watching Tank and the Bangas at Severance Music Center and WOW… what a SHOW!
From the live piano to the trumpet solos, every part of the performance felt like art coming alive on stage. The energy, the storytelling, the vocals, the musicianship… everything was NEXT LEVEL.
One of my favorite moments was hearing them talk about what they love most about New Orleans — the culture, the people, the soul, the music. You could feel that spirit throughout the entire show. And when they said, “I just love me Black people” and “Black don’t crack,” the crowd ERUPTED!
They also performed music from their new album “The Last Balloon” and talked about being fearless — comparing life to roller coasters and learning to enjoy the ride. That message really stuck with me.
And the encore song “Move To You” was the PERFECT ending. The whole crowd was vibing!
If you missed them in Cleveland, don’t worry — you can still catch them Memorial Day Weekend at the Ohio Black Expo… and guess what? You can catch ME there too with Tank and the Bangas! Trust me… you do NOT want to miss this experience.
