So grateful and inspired, appreciate being invited to lead a zine making workshop at the CA Civil Rights Summit. Thank you and shout out to the organizers Louise, Sarah and Candace. Special thanks to @laurendavisdraws for helping me run the workshop. The attendees were amazing and it’s always awesome to share space with community leaders and folks doing the work. Appreciate the Civil rights department and its efforts to stop hate and support folks in real time. #zinemaking #communitybuilding #zines #stopthehate #oaklandcreates

Found some old videos and photos from November 2023 and started reminiscing. 2023 was a crazy year! Iykyk…sigh. @pdx_zines and then @shortrunseattle the year was an amazing break from the madness. Shoutout to Portland and Seattle and all the friends, family and community support! I am grateful. Stay tuned for more daily affirmations and positive vibes.

Sneak Peek of my interview with Jose Ramirez Calamateo. Such a moving interview, I found out we have so many shared experiences. Check out the full interview on @nuthingoodat4 Youtube channel where we talked about honoring our ancestors through art, our favorite hole in wall taquerias and following our art dreams instead of our family's career expectations. #artistinterviews #mexicanancestors #oaklandartists #artcareers #dailyartpractices
Excited by the new Portrait of Marsha P. Johnson I’m drawing. Deciding what type of color to add and whether or not to create postcards afterwards? Work in progress. More art videos on my YouTube channel. #transrights #marshapjohnson #inkportraits #drawingtimelapse #lgbtqa
Daily positive affirmation, Remain Faithful. It’s easy to lose yourself, lose foresight and to lose faith with all the things going on in the world right now? It’s even more imperative to remain faithful. Rely on your intuition, inner knowing and power and to allow guidance from whomever you believe in and the knowledge of your ancestors. Is your faith ever tested? Do you set aside time to connect with your faith? #walkbyfaithnotbysight #innerknowing #discernment #dailyaffirmations #selfportraits

Daily positive affirmation, Feel all the Feels. Don’t be afraid to sit with pain, grief or disappointment and it’s okay to find joy, love and abundance too. Feel it all and don’t be stuck in a cycle of denial and depression. Why not feel it all? Will you be vulnerable enough with yourself to feel everything? #inkdrawings #dailyaffirmations #mentalhealthandwellbeing #emotionalinteligence #portraitdrawings
Daily positive affirmation, Shine a light on your demons. Only love can drive out hate! *Bob Marley once said only love can drive out hate so let the light of love, compassion, understanding and healing expose demons so they can be eradicated and destroyed. What demons are you hiding? Healing? #positiveaffirmation #shinealight #inkdrawings #mentalhealthandhealing #shadowwork
