πŸ’₯ Social Creamery showed up and showed out, at the first ever AAPI x MOBB MARKET inside the Crossroads Hotel.

Keyo and Avery had a blast serving our yummy Ube and Pandan ice cream for . They started dancing and grooving more, after brought her girls to hang out too. Then... it became a party!!

It's awesome to see everyone come out to support our local small businesses here in KC. The location was tight too because you could enjoy our AAPI stuff, and you could enjoy what the hotel had to offer too... from foods to games to drinks.

I asked of MADE MOBB, Why they decided to do this??

He said, they knew that I always started the month of May with our Taste of AAPI Food & Cultural Festival, so just wanted to do something fun to close Out the month of May for AAPI MONTH.

** Every year, my family is part of Iowa's HUGE CelebrAsian Festival, which drew in over 80,000 people last weekend. Not only that, their AAPI COMMUNITY is actually more Tight knit than ours here in KC.

I say that because I've been part of both cities, both communities. Here in KC, the unity isn't as tight as the smaller city of Des Monies BUT that's why we're doing things like this. It's starting to grow more and more each year.

Our team, the team, the team, the team... just want to bring everyone together and have a good time, while sharing our cultures.

Cheers til next year!! πŸ₯‚πŸ·πŸ¨πŸœ

ONE LOVE. ONE FAMILY. UNITED. ❀️

πŸ’ͺ Nobody talks about the prep work before an event, or after the event.

It takes SO MUCH work from people, to do an event.

I've been doing festivals as a vendor with my family for years, with my other company Sarinade. The food prep and logistics takes a lot of work.

Shout out to all those involved with the pre and post event activities.

Do you know how long it takes just to cut up meat and veggies?

Getting the signage, the products, the correct recipes and ratios, and things like getting gas for your generators, hair net, gloves, muscles to help load and unload, conversations, disagreements, arguments, laughter, buying ice, outfit of the day, and millions more things.

Year Five was bigger and better... always different and purposely curated.

Again, much love to everyone who helped make this possible.

I love bringing people together through Food and Music. The cultural performances were awesome, and just the whole Vibe of partying in the beautiful scenery of the West Bottoms.

We are and were the "Official Cultural Kickoff for the City" as we welcome into KC the Works Cup and all other awesome Summer events.

ONE LOVE. ONE FAMILY. UNITED. ❀️

The date has been set. Next year, we're doing this again Saturday May 8, 2027... same spot!!

** We may even be doing another similar type festival this Fall!! I've been talking to some giant corporations who have already asked me about spearheading one in mid September 2026.

Stay tuned!!

❌️ CANCER SUCKS... A Blessing in Disguise... Yesterday was my mama's final radiation day for lung cancer.

Thankfully... mama Solpaul Brim got sick with Pneumonia A during Christmas break and couldn't breathe well, so went in to get her lungs checked.

When they checked her, they found some cancer in her lungs.

So now, here we are. She's still in great spirits, healthy and moving like normal. She did 10 bouts of radiation, with possible chemo coming up.

βœ”οΈ She'll be here in KC this Saturday at our Taste of AAPI Food & Cultural Festival to sign books and take pictures with her fans.

If you didn't know, she wrote a memoir book about her life, which was released right after New Years.

The book is called "FROM THE KILLING FIELDS TO THE CORN FIELDS" and you can get it delivered by Amazon in One Day!!

Order one today, bring your book to the festival and have it signed by the author, my mama.

πŸ’₯ Get it here ==> https://solpaul.com/

I wanna thank everyone who's bought and/or have already read her book.

❀️ We want to turn the book into a real, Hollywood type movie so if you know anyone in the film industry, please let us know.

Maybe Angelina Jolie?? Because she's done numerous Cambodian movies. Anyone have her contact??

01/23/2026

πŸ’₯Wanna ride, while getting some awesome viral content for social media too??

For the second year in a row, we've partnered up with Atticus Sloan and his amazing team!! Jump on one of the EZ Pedicabs and they'll shuttle you around the West Bottoms during our 5th annual Taste of AAPI Food & Cultural Festival - Kansas City.

βœ…οΈ Save the Date. Saturday May 2, 2026... from Noon to 8 pm.

Don't miss out!!
