Flower Child🌻 Had so much fun shooting a lil visual in the flowers with this lovely artist @mintahtumbao • An image, moment in time, can speak so many words and speak to so many emotions. That is something I’ve always loved about the visual arts even when I was little and didn’t know why I was so drawn to images and color. Creating always brings me so much joy…I didn’t realize how much I’ve actually come to love experimenting with the camera till we were tussled about the flowers!🤗🌻🌻🌻 • When I see Aminah’s movement it brings to mind a calling upon, a gentle summoning, a welcoming for the new. May this coming year bring in newfound love, joy and gratitude for all that is to come.

Moving to the city sounds with my sis @princessa_mae_

A lil sneak peak of some moments of movement with this beauty @mintahpants • My goal has been to become more acquainted with the camera, to better communicate what I’m envisioning in my mind for directing. Thank you for supporting and playing in the flowers with me Aminah! 🌻🌻🌻You are a joy to work with 🙌🏼✨💕 • 🎶: Identidad by Haydée Milanés y Ibeyi Skirt: @farmrio • #movement #dance #freestyle #film #director #farmrio #gorjanagirl #artistsoninstagram #afrolatina #latina #chicanas #mexicanas #woc #luxury #luxerylifestyle #flowerchild

Got to capture some in the moment shots with this amazing human @mimorales09 Check out her work and what she is up to as a Dance/Teaching Artivist, Educator & Speaker. 📸: @rqlcabrera 📝: Michelle Morales 🎶: The Long and Winding Road by Aretha Franklin #create #dance #teaching #Artivist #film #blackandwhite Re-Post from @mimorales09 ——————————————————- The co-creation of this beautiful, simple, and creative video began about a year ago in my living room with my friend Raquel. I remember it was a new moon and we hung out to set our intentions, goals, and desires for the month and dance the evening away to salsa. Raquel also explored with her camera and captured candid moments of me writing in deep thought and dancing. We recently picked up again. This brilliant human created and edited this sacred piece of art. Art creations are sacred to me because they have the power to awaken, empower, heal, and connect you to your loved ones and community. They hold and transcend more than the eye can see. • • Thank you so much, Raquel for telling a part of my story. It represents the season I am in…living and creating from a place of ease, rest, peace, connection, and integrity. Allowing myself to be witnessed and supported by my loved ones as I tend to my grief, joy, rhythm and flow, and make space for new perspectives and ways of being. • • The words you see are prayers I created for myself and the collective. I hold them near and dear to my heart with the understanding that these prayers live within me and start with me. I am not perfect and I make mistakes. AND I am committed and come back home to my values and myself again and again and again. I am humbled and in love with life more every single time.
