No fashion, no styling & no recognition needed, I just love showing up for our young men doing gods work with @joybaltimore . Collaboratively for our youth, we choose to pour into themāwith love, intention, and opportunity. Earlier this week we hosted a dinner and wasnāt just a meal, it was a movement for our young kings in training. Thank you to every guest @dashthechef@_respectmygrind who showed up, shared your story, and reminded our young people that they are seen, valued, and capable of greatness. Shoutout to @0ne0fone & @mikevick for showing love while in town to our youth! Your presence is saving livesšŖš¾#BaltimoreYouth #PurposeInAction #Mybmore #Keepshowingup #DifferentRegard #JoyBaltimore

ARTASTE | 2026 | BALTIMORE
A full weekend of Black Art & Opulence happening in Baltimore from April 24-26th.
I am so honored and excited to serve as the Master of Ceremony for ARTASTE 2026 and highlighting the invaluable impact of non profit organizations serving Baltimore youth and families such as G.R.O.W (@thegrowprogrambaltimore ) founded by my good brother @diwee_sewell
ARTASTE is a 7 year tradition for me that Iāve always looked forward to celebrating and witnessing the vision GROW from the inception of its founders and partners and how they purposefully infused art, fashion, culinary, culture, community and excellence to occupy the same space for everyone to enjoy and build!
From 2019 to 2026, kicking off ARTASTE as a celebratory occasion with two of my favorite human beings, artists, and friends @aaronmaybin and @steves_styles , I am honored to be showcase my gift and rock my @differentregard tailored fit on the mic & stage while curating a vibe of giving and honoring an amazing organization and honorees who selflessly pour into others and make the world around us better!
We plants seeds to see the fruit and trees G.R.O.W. !!! And I am grateful to pour back in my community in such capacity!
As a second generation art collector and someone who literally wears the brands and culture as proudly outward expression of Baltimoreās gifts, uniqueness, and our value to the world. I am forever grateful to see a world in #MyBmore where art, service, jubilee, and community can still exist, grow and thrive in real time and over decades!!!

The atmosphere was in the heart of the city , and we had valet parkingāļøBut what truly made the night unforgettable was being surrounded by my crew of brothers from Street Chronicles @joybaltimore . I never imagined that at this stage in my life, I would find and embrace such a humble crew of brothers. Cheers to new connections and unforgettable memories!
