How the Hell Did Little Manny End Up at Paris Hilton's House?!

Okay bestie, sit down, because I still can't believe I'm typing this. How the hell did little Manny end up at PARIS HILTON'S HOUSE?!

Six years of posting videos, and I still have moments where I stop and think, "Is this actually my life?" This was one of those moments. Big time.

Me and my bestie Jess

I got to go to Paris's ADHD Creator Summit with my best friend Jess from @applesauceandadhd. We've been friends for 3 years, and if you would've told us we'd be at @parishilton's house in 2026... we both wouldn't have believed you. But we did the damn THING!

An absolutely ICONIC day

WHAT A FREAKING AMAZING EXPERIENCE! You could feel the love at this event. Meeting so many awesome creators, being around so much love and creativity, and yes, actually chatting with Paris. A day I will never forget.

Manny, Paris Hilton and Jess on the pink step and repeat — That's hot. Me, Paris and Jess!

Meeting Elyse Myers

It was SO nice meeting everyone, especially @elyse_myers. Going from watching someone while you scroll on your phone every day to meeting them in person and talking to them is one of the coolest feelings. I'm pinching myself... is this real life?!?

The kangaroo peed on me

Okay, the part you've all been waiting for. I got to hold a kangaroo... and it peed on me. 😂 And honestly? Still one of the happiest moments of my life.

Manny smiling while holding a baby kangaroo at Paris Hilton's house — Right before (or after?) the kangaroo peed on me.

I held a kangaroo, I went down a slide, I even peed in Paris Hilton's bathroom. What in the world?! Younger me would never believe this.

Thank you, bestie

So thankful for the journey I've been on. Thank you for being here, laughing with me, and supporting this wild ride. It means more than you know. More pictures and videos are coming soon!

And that thing you've been dreaming about... go for it. ♥️

Love you bestie!
