The past nine months have been a journey of pure dedication. I poured every ounce of myself into this show… long nights, endless revisions, moments of doubt, and bursts of inspiration. I’ve felt every emotion possible: excitement, frustration, joy, fear, gratitude, and love. Now, as it all comes together, I’m both nervous and thrilled to see the vision I carried for so long come to life. It feels surreal. More than anything, I’m thankful. Thankful that God allowed me this opportunity, gave me the strength to push through, and blessed me with the ability to share my art in this way. This is more than a show… it’s a display of faith, perseverance, and growth. Now it’s time to celebrate!🖤🖤

Honored to be part of KUUMBA V. A powerful exhibition curated by @black_art_today , commemorating a century of Black history through visual storytelling. Showing work inside Neiman Marcus… in a space where luxury and legacy intersect, felt intentional. This exhibition wasn’t just beautifully curated. It was a reminder of where we’ve been… and where we are boldly going. Grateful to Alicia and Lisa, founders of @black_art_today , for continuing to create spaces where Black artists are centered and celebrated. We are not just making art. We are archiving culture🖤🫶🏽

Created in conversation with love.. the kind that shows up quietly, daily, and without applause. Honored to be included in Love Is the Answer, a 2026 Black History Month exhibition at Kente Royal Gallery. Grateful for the curators, the community, and the space to tell stories that feel true🤍

I’m so grateful for today. To be recognized by @aspireartgallery for a public art project in Southside Norfolk is pretty dope. The 757 is my home, and to be recognized here, among people who truly understand my art, means a lot to me. There was a day when I felt as though my voice in art needed to be tempered, softened, or even remolded to conform to what was “acceptable” to my art teacher. But today was a reminder of just how much the culture in VA is shifting… and how much room there is now for artists to be authentic. It was amazing to meet all of you, share the space, and experience the love. This is my 4th public art project, and every time I do one, it feels like a validation that it is always worth staying true to yourself 🎨🖤 Shoutout to @n2arts1.r your piece spoke to me the moment I saw it. Glad to support another creative voice in the 757. Thank you 🙏🏽 🖤
