The UpCycle ♻️ It’s more than a sustainable crafting day party. When we can have these collective experiences of creating with care for the earth, we’re honouring where we come from while weaving in new stories. It was brilliant to see all materials and clothes given new life. The food hit, the music was fire, and the people were glowing! ✨ The biggest thank you to my team! Till next time 🧚🏾‍♀️ #slowfashion #upcycle #upcyclefashion #sandiegocreatives artist 🎥 @veltlarant_intelligence_agency @letmesitwitthat

Move your body because you’re water Move your body because nothing in this world is still- always vibrating Move your body to know yourself… to replenish yourself Shake, crawl, sprawl, jump, roll, spin… lean and bop because creativity is brought to life through the body 🩵 More details coming soon about the next movement wellness workshop. Till then, keep making space for yourself 🌻 . . . #movement #creativemovement #creativity ##somatics #embodiedmovement

I’m substitute teaching at the predominantly yt school I used to go to… and it’s crazy cuz I actually burnt my hair to crisp back in the day cuz I used to feel like that… BUT NOW?!? We just out here. A proud bald baddie with a wig on just for the giggles, confused faces of those that just saw me yesterday and the anti Brandy Melville fashion moment 😂 #itsmyhairiboughtit #decolonise #nohatetothewiglovers #ijusthopeyoudonthateyourself #2012hashtags

“ coogi zebra “ created: 7/2025 look 1 from nations rising we have the elegant @sunraewithin in a knit shirt with matching colette shorts all upcycled from a black and white knit fabric found at a estate sale. when i discovered this fabric it reminded me so much of coogi sweaters from the 90s. always wanted one as a kid but could never afford it. this brought back so much nostalgia! major s/o to @sunraewithin for adding her own flare to the outfit 🤌🏾 YOU KNOW THE VIBES UPCYCLING FOR THE GOOD OF THE PLANET WITH LITTLE TO NO WASTE 🌏🌱 photos shot by: @pii5102 runway video by @bmarvizion #bychriscarson #fashioninspo #slowfashion #upcycle #fashion

I got smacked in the face with dread yesterday. That was super fun 🥲 Today I remembered I recorded this.. unfinished…maybe that’s why I didn’t share it… but now I’m like who frickin cares… aliens are roaming the planet, kids can’t read and ppl would rather make ai flyers than drink water… anywho I’ll finish it, but I’d like it to come to someeeeee sort of resolution… but what? Crazy crazy times

What’s art without a community to share it with? An honour to be a model for @poeticartistry20 and @daniela_loizart figure drawing session for The Way Roots Grow exhibition. It was truly a poetic evening full of movement, art, music and good company. Captured by 📸 @letmesitwitthat
