Lately I’ve been thinking about creativity and what it takes to go to the next level. Why some projects feel blocked and some feel like they have free rein to flourish. That question has always led me back to one thing, trust. Now I want to put a disclaimer that this is my observation on […]

I love going to art museums. I have two in my city where I live and I’ve been to both more times than I can count. I love them because of the art of course. It’s beautiful and inspiring. I also love them because when most people go to museums, more specifically contemporary ones, what […]

I’ve pondered this question many times in my life. In fact, I’ve found myself wrestling with feeling insignificant if the answer is yes.

2020 has been one of the craziest years to ever exist. That’s no surprise. During quarantine, a lot of racial injustice erupted.

A depression that comes after birthing something so to speak. Not knowing what’s next. Not knowing if you’ll be able to top […]

The thought of me trying to write about, the often cited as the epitome of American literature, Great Gatsby is a bit terrifying and burdensome. Luckily I’m only required to write about why I like the book. I could talk about the sheer beauty of Scott Fitzgerald’s writing, the novel’s use of characterization, or even […]

I recently met and became friends with a designer in Amsterdam. We realized quite ironically that we have sort of mirroring lives. Upon meeting her, she expressed how awesome it was to meet another female designer and then on top of that to find out that I’m African American. I didn’t realize it until then […]
