My Koorsoo is ever evolving. This is just the tip of the iceburg, it’s also a few examples of my that glimmer of hope guided me through parts of my journey. Here is the full video (shot and edited by @lstopmedia ) of my keynote for @cm_denver I was really honored to be the first the one to set off the 2026 season.
Each one teach one! Sometimes we all gotta just hear ourselves talk, it helps us to believe in ourselves. @khaliqondeck made his old man proud with this one. S/o @introducingjcru for giving him the opportunity to show up for himself others. I think we can learn a lot from this kid.
My Koorsoo keynote from Januarys @cm_denver is live. You can find it on their website or the link is in my bio. Check it out. Let me know if anything stood out. Or you learned anything about me. 📸 @justinlevett
Sometimes it blows my mind that 300 strangers at @creativemorning will listen to me. But my 14 year old son won’t lol. S/o the whole @cm_denver team again for making that such an enjoyable experience. 📸 @justinlevett
Do the hard stuff. The things that make you uncomfortable. Only then can you see what you’re made of. If you really are what you think you are. Today I got to be the keynote for @creativemorning@cm_denver and what a blessing it was to share my version of Koorsoo for 30 min to a crowd of over 250 people. Today I learned to be kind to myself. And to never let the imposter syndrome take control. I belong everywhere my 2 feet can take me. I was able to share my journey as a creative professional, how I got there and where I’m going. What an honor. I hope people took something positive and inspiring from it. 📸 @designedbysilhouette
