There’s power in forgiveness. There’s also power in no longer needing it. I wrote about @gunna , the idea of purpose vs pride, and no longer seeking forgiveness from people determined not to give it to you. Full essay available via the link in my bio.

creative strategy work for @adidas Honoring Black Excellence 2025 campaign. Black Excellence is a complicated theme within our culture, but what i found through researching the fascinating stories of our people, like The Ladies of Gee’s Bend, is that the only prerequisite for Black Excellence is the ability to create. And I’m grateful to be a vessel that inspires and challenges big brands like Adidas to make space for that creativity to flourish.
