this one’s for me.
don’t ask me how I did it.
don’t ask me how I switched from graphic design to film with doubts of it working out.
don’t ask me how I started photography as a hobby and turned it into a profitable and sustainable business during my last two years of college.
don’t ask me how I was able to write, record, and produce an album with 19 songs dedicated to the ups and downs of my 25 years of life.
don’t ask me how i turned my one bedroom apartment into a place where I take magazine-level portraits in.
don’t ask me how i stayed focused on my academics and photoshoots while laid up in different hospital beds due to sickle-cell pain.
don’t ask me how i didn’t miss a single flight to my Flo events and made sure to produce those shows with my best effort despite a restless body.
don’t ask me how i went from graduating high school with a 2.4 GPA to appearing on the Dean’s List in college on more than one occasion.
don’t ask me how I worked hard enough in and out of the studio to the point where my dream school published my work not one, not two, not three, not four, but five times.
don’t ask me how i did any of those things as a full-time college student, because my answer will be
“I don’t know, but I did it.”
