Last year, I received the Creative Entrepreneurship Accelerator Grant from
@inartscomm and my life changed completely for the better & I want to personally thank you
@inartscomm for taking a gamble on this youngin’ and granting the funds to elevate my professional presence 🙌🏾❤️🔥
The main game-changer in my journey has been the support of
@badboysofav . Jim and Neal didn’t just believe in my potential—they invested in it. They equipped me with everything I needed to get started as a DJ and taught me the technical side of audio/visual production. Because of them, I’ve been able to craft high-quality stage environments and immersive experiences that uplift and inspire our community.💙💙
@boxxtheartist and
@arthenticarts have also been foundational in my journey. Boxx’s mentorship + seminars gave me the tools—and the confidence—to successfully secure a key grant, and she taught me how to pitch my ideas with clarity and impact. Her support has been both empowering and deeply affirming, and I’m so grateful for her belief in me.💜💜
I’m also incredibly thankful for
@sleepynap and the entire
@inspiremusiccollective team, who have generously supported my growth with in-kind materials and mentorship. Through my work at Cornerstone, I was able to connect Inspire with my studio role, and together we’re now building a mini Inspire Music Collective within CLC. a dream come true.
Shoutout
@10eastarts for being my monthly open mic partner ❤️🔥
Lastly,
@egluttrull - our AWESOME instructor for On-Ramp, sent me her book “Arts & Numbers” and it has been a great resource in learning how to implement various techniques to advance myself!
I truly owe so much of where I am today to the incredible people I’ve mentioned. Their support, encouragement, and investment in me have shaped my path—and I carry that gratitude with me in every project I create.
