As the year comes to a close, many thoughts fill the inside of my skull. The first being an epiphany, “I survived.” The other being the phrase: “I am grateful.” It’s hard for me to gauge where to start when thinking about all we have endured this year. It has been a year of pain,…

Honoring, You
A song that’s been on repeat for me is called “Enough” by Kelela, ft. Ahya Simone. As she sings into my ears while the harp follows her melodies, I can’t do anything except feel at peace. She whispers towards the end, “Just hold on… hey” and it plays through my ears like a distant lullaby-…
Sleepychi
This shoot was one of my favorites with a local artist I enjoy- Sleepychi. “Good music inspires me. And that feelin’ of creating something that you actually like, that YOU made, is different..” My personal favorite song by him is Gameover. The way the song feels is a mixture of nostalgia and euphoria. Kinda like…

Reflections
As we go through this pandemic, millions of thoughts have passed through our minds. I can only tell my story about how I’m dealing with it– but it’s going rather well? I think a lot what I’m feeling in terms of emotions has manifested through a creative lens. Also, a grateful attitude. I’ve been lucky…
Feminine Libations
“Mom, Why do you have a Tramp Stamp?” Cheap red wine, lemon-ginger tea, fine China, Mesmerized by a carousel of emotions wringing the throats of young Daughters. Painted baby-blue fingernails, tongue piercings, hip rings’ A butterfly embellished down the spine of her back– perched on her lower bones. Escapades with esquires, replenished by a hot…
