funny story: Mr Washington used to mentor my big sister. ✨ my how time flies!!
i'm still pinching myself about becoming a Cashman x PABJ Fellow this past summer ✨💜.

last night, at the Emerging Media Diversity Awards Reception, I had the opportunity to witness journalists and creative professionals being honored for their impact on media.

of course i'm inspired, and deeply considering what it means to build a legacy that contributes to the culture in a multitude of meaningful ways. congratulations to all the honorees!

i'm ready for day 2 💜✨

as a creative who wears all the hats, you have to take actionable steps to embrace your duality. it doesn’t start/stop at the declaration “I’m embracing the process”… you’ve got to put forth the effort.

commission piece for the tiny one.
watch until the end for her genuine reaction! 🥹😘 of course, she's already told me what the next one should look like 🙃

so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe.

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul.

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃

good day 🙋🏾‍♀️ so i took to substack to share key takeaways from Emerging Media Diversity Conference.
for the full read, link is in my bio. ✨

of course, it's important to be in the room, but it's what you do with said information that is the real indicator of how you value the gems bestowed.💎

subscribe to my newsletter "The Makings Of" where I break down insights on my journey of being a creative business owner and multi-faceted artist. happy sunday 💜✨
