Raven always works so hard to make sure her daughter enjoys her birthday 💕🫶🏾

[@kathyw.3146]

I always wonder after every one of your parties, what in the world can you think of, to out do the last party. But you always manage somehow to do just that. Ziya hit the jackpot when it comes to mommy and grandparents. ❤❤❤

[@amandakay8261]

LOVE the theme! I’ve done streamers like that before and found that scraps of fabric work so much better! You can take a long piece of twine and tie scraps of lace and silk in coordinating colors so they don’t tear and are all one line that you can easily and effortlessly hang 🥰

[@tammiedenson]

This brought tears to my eyes your daughter is going to remember this as she gets older. Absolutely Beautiful!

[@kaitlynjohnson1360]

Ziya is so beautiful!!! Great work on the party, and Ziya. 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tmarie3510]

[@michatreacymone]

So true !

[@ashantieb8624]

so we all got emotional at this part huh lol

[@autumncolors1673]

I like Sam's vibe. She and Zoey make a dynamic duo. To think you used to do all of this by yourself! The party was absolutely GORGEOUS. All the right touches. Cute little horsey. Loved mom and pop helping out. It was magical, indeed.

[@muffymariah2889]

Yesss Chef Toni, you can’t tell her nothing when it comes to preparations and a menu 🤌🏽

[@cherrylox88]

The way you always go all out for her birthday is the cutest thing LMBO. You really work so hard and put so much thought into it which is so sweet, i love that

[@lizvazquez5400]

You’re a great mom. Not because of the “things”, but because of the time and effort you give to making your daughter genuinely happy. She is really going to be so close to you for all of your life.

[@YourFavweirdo_isTrin]

We need to appreciate how much raven does for ziya❤

[@lisarobbinson8835]

Oh Raven... everything to the table scape, the diy projects, the food from Chef T., the photographer... absolutely beautiful. Huge Kudos to all involved, Bravo! Welcome Sam! ❤

[@msj3nn]

When they brought the unicorn around you can hear a kid ask, "Is that Ziya's new pet?" 🤣This was amazing, Raven! Also congrats on the book!!

[@PrettylikeTisha]

Sam seems like a great addition to the team!!!! I’m LOVING this party theme and I want to do something similar with my goddaughter’s birthday in October

[@mylatterdays5314]

[@sheabae10]

It gives me so much hope seeing you celebrate your baby girl. The parties are always amazing and you’re such an inspiration to us other moms! This party was EVERYTHANG🥹🫶🏾 HBD ZIYA🎉

[@auset7385]

Love the joy when Ziya saw and hugged one of her friends 🥰

[@NicoleAllwood]

I love it!!! I expected nothing less! Ok the child who said “is that Ziya’s new pet?” during the unicorn entrance gave me a flashback to MTV’s sweet 16 like the moments they’d receive their cars lol.

[@jaydacrenshaw2761]

Omgoshhh the beautiful black fairyy 💜✨

[@bakcandace20]

These parties make me tear up 😢 because Raven makes sure she is going to throw a beautiful party for Zina!!

[@christinainreallife3475]

My goodness Raven I’m So proud of you. Representation truly matters & the way you represent mothers, women & especially women of color is truly incredible. I’m much older than you yet you inspire me. I’m constantly telling people about you & sharing your content. Such a true inspiration and role model. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤

[@MakingsofMallory]

Wow, every detail is stunning! Your parent's yard was very suitable for the theme. The fairy, unicorn, and fairy floss were perfect additions!

[@renha6522]

Happy Birthday, Ziya! Ms Raven your awesome

[@besthappybirthdaysong]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ZIYA! May your day be as amazing and beautiful as you are.

[@MHand623]

Girl, you did that...Awesome party!!!

[@mmurray3136]

🎉 HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂 Ziya !! Hope you thoroughly enjoyed your day!! Well done Raven, Family and Team 👍 👏👏 such a wonderful party.

[@uniquely__awkwardsimply__b2701]

Not I’m trying to spend your money for you 😂 lol but I think your next party should be a big party for Chef Toni….. “P.S I’m sure you’ve thrown your mother a party before so yeah lol” Im not sure when her birthday is but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a birthday party just a party of love and appreciation! I’m 30 as well and my mother is 52 now! I was thinking the other day like wow I’m legit 30 and my mom is 50+! I know you guys are so good to your mom! Trust me! We have to love on them so hard now more than ever! This party was absolutely beautiful like always! ❤️❤️❤️

[@halfgodhalfdevil9334]

I like when you vlog the shopping process

[@chanice821]

why did this bring me to tears, I feel like we put so much energy into our kids birthday parties that sometimes they don’t actually like it because it’s all about making it look good but all the details and including Zaya and all the planning and decorating, you can tell that she really enjoyed it it was heartfelt and special to her as well as Raven. on top of that Raven fashion it was a gorgeous set up I’m obsessed. I’m obsessed😍

[@claudettelewis18]

HAPPY 8th BIRTHDAY ZIYA! Your Mom did an amazing on theme party! May all the fairies throw fairy dust and rejoice!

[@Dera7101]

Congratulations Raven, Ziya, and the entire team for such a great turnout! This was lovely 💖🥰🥹 Thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏾

[@ChristForToday101]

I'm so glad to see you cherish your daughter in such a way life is so short you never know how much time you have with someone I was never able to give my children anything like that I never even take pictures of them that much as children and then my daughter got took away from me and I can't seem to get her back when I look at you and your daughter I just think of all the beautiful memories she will have for the rest of her life what a wonderful gift you are so blessed and you are such a blessing

[@saboonthaa]

Seeing Ziya with her friends just warms my heart! Im currently planning my daughters Five Is A Vibe party and this was her first year of school so I'm excited to see how they all interact lol I might have to do this fairy theme for her 6th birthday, I love it!!

[@garredenerooskrans8697]

We've been waiting long enough 😅

[@sue8237]

Lovely! I want a fairy party AND a unicorn! (I am 70 - LOL!!!)

[@luchiane]

It makes my heart SMILE to see a little black baby getting what are essentially luxury custom theme birthday parties! And Ziya is so grateful too, love that for her.❤

[@andye.3960]

Happy Birthday Ziya and to Raven who has pulled through every obstacle and constantly reinventing yourself.. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥹🥹 Let me go get a tissue 😭

[@tkloveshair]
