J Dilla made Donuts in a hospital bed. Kidney disease. Thirty-two years old. He had a drum machine, a stack of records, and whatever time he had left. He didn’t make a goodbye. He made a gift.
Detroit has been unwrapping it ever since.
I scored this video to Donuts because nothing else told the truth about what the Potluck looks and feels like.
An album made under that kind of pressure, given back freely that’s the whole argument.
That’s what four days of healing, art, and music in a room full of Detroit looks like when it’s still breathing.
Join us in 1 Week!

Welcome artists and union members!
This summer, the UNITE HERE Education and Support Fund (UHESF) is teaming up with Talking Dolls Studio to pilot a Detroit-based art residency for 4-6 emerging artists who are rank-and-file union members. This pilot prioritizes non-professional artists and is also open to professional artists or other cultural workers who can demonstrate an interest or intention for creative practice beyond the scope of their primary employment.
This is a paid residency to provide union members financial support to take a four-week leave of absence from work to concentrate on their creative practice. Artists of all stripes – visual artists, filmmakers, designers, musicians, poets, performers and more – are encouraged to apply.
As part of this application, applicants must submit a personal video or written statement, plus ten images (or examples) of their work. Applicants must also have a statement of support from their sponsoring union.

In 2025 The Corner was a deep & conceptual lyrical exhibition. Thematically, I guided the room through the progression of poetry & style over time to highlight how Hip-Hop & Rap are extensions of the Black literary tradition.
On May 23rd, thanks to the support of @culturesource I have the opportunity to dive deeper by investigating a new idea: How can wellbeing, mindfulness, and healing methodologies be front and center at a Hip-Hop/Rap showcase?
Thank you for supporting artists like myself & pushing the entire practice forward!!
