Last Friday, we brought @moneyunmaskedlive - The Mini Show to @tgrll_philadelphia delivering a live, interactive financial literacy game show to their after-school program. Students took home REAL financial education and REAL money- creating a practical experience around learning about money. We don’t just need better financial education, we need a better way to experience it. Most people are not struggling with money because they lack information, they’re struggling because of how they think, feel, and behave when making financial decisions. We must reimagine the way that financial literacy is introduced, by integrating psychology directly into the learning experience. Instead of passive lessons, participants are placed inside real-time scenarios where they must make decisions under pressure, navigate uncertainty, and confront the same behavioral patterns that shape their everyday financial lives. Because money isn’t just math.
It’s mindset. It’s emotion. It’s behavior. Through interactive gameplay, we create space for people to recognize their habits, challenge their assumptions, and build a more intentional relationship with money. This Mini Show marks the beginning of a new phase, bringing immersive financial education directly into the environments where people are already learning and growing. If you’re interested in bringing the Mini Show to your organization, feel free to reach out. #FinancialLiteracy #Edutainment #ExperientialLearning #BehavioralEconomics #MoneyUnMasked

I’m so excited to share something I am a proud to have documented. My photography is being featured in the upcoming exhibition, “in case of fire, speak,” at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. This project is a deep dive into the soul of American dance. I had the incredible opportunity to document the creative process between the legendary @marthagrahamdance and our very own @philadanco ! Seeing these two powerhouses collaborate to answer the question “What is an American?” is a career highlight for me. This exhibition is a huge part of @artphilly2026 ’s “What Now: 2026” festival and ties directly into #Philly250, celebrating our city’s massive role in the nation’s 250th anniversary. Come celebrate with me: 🗓️ Opening Reception: Thursday, March 19 @ 6:00 PM 📍 Location: Arts Lounge at the Annenberg Center (3680 Walnut St) It’s free and open to everyone, but please register online first. You can also grab tickets there for the world-premiere performance happening May 29–30. I can’t wait for you to see these moments captured. See you there! #ArtPhilly #WhatNow #Philadanco #marthagrahamdancecompany

Happy 11th Anniversary to a project that didn’t just inspire me, it literally redirected the course of my life. Today marks 11 years since @Hezekiah3rd dropped the “Dreams Don’t Chase Themselves” album and short film. Looking back, I can honestly say I wouldn’t have had the courage to build Embassy: Interactive into what it is today if I hadn’t been a part of this journey. Swipe through for a look back at the history: Slide 2: Where it started. I first professionally linked with Hez for an @embinteractive interview, then while filming a community project for Sneaker Villa (@villajtm ) (shoutout @aishawinfield ). I’d been a fan since 2008, but seeing his videos showing his commitment to health and community in Malcolm X Park made him the perfect subject for my first Villa video. Slide 3: The pivot. A month later, Hez asked me to film the DDCT short film, written by Mike Beon (@thekooleybopkid ). We shot scenes in my old apartment and at the Performance Garage, a space I now work at annually and where I met @simonebee23 , who I’m now about to become cousins with in October 😉 Slide 4: Global impact. The project dropped Feb 10, 2015, with screenings from Toronto to Ghana to Cologne. Seeing @oddisee perform my personal anthem “Own Appeal” at the NY release party was the moment I realized leaving my old career to go full-time with video/photo wasn’t just a dream, it was a necessity. Slide 5: Full circle. The film was selected for @blackstarfest in 2015. I couldn’t make it then, but I like to think that empty seat on the Q&A panel was waiting for me to eventually become the festival’s lead photographer years later. The film then landed on @xfinity On Demand, @amazonprime , and @gravitasventures . A year after this project, I quit my job and started “chasing” my dreams for real. It was the best decision I ever made. Support the art and find Dream Don’t Chase Themselves 🎶 Album: Hezekiah’s Bandcamp 📺 Film: YouTube

Ten years ago, I bet on myself, and on the vision behind @embinteractive . 2016 marked the start of full-time storytelling: from a #craigslist wedding shoot to a @christianlouboutin credit, and a photo that would later headline my first solo exhibition. That year taught me how to build, how to listen, and later how to lead with purpose. It was a crash course in business, boundaries, and belief. A reminder that growth isn’t always loud—but it’s always moving. #2016

#TBT: Working on a campaign in 2023 for the movie The @bookofclarence with @overallmurals . The video also highlighted the incredible artistry of @elcreativ.e . #murals #artinphilly #timelapsevideo #teyanataylor

Congratulations to @saltnpepaofficial on their @rnr_hall_of_fame induction! Fun Fact: They were my first concert (FreshFest w/ my cousin @msdimples39 ), so you know I was elated and honored to capture these photos in 2018 at one of @flygirrl ’s amazing parties.
