Stories with hood heroes on the big stage. Society criminalizes and stigmatizes poor youth, but they are pure, kind, and powerful despite traumatic conditions. Less critique. More care, compassion, and cultivation.

Show some love to my makeup artist, Bre! Yes, I have a makeup artist. I did not know I needed one until I had one🤣. An extraordinary makeup artist who has the power to transform me from ashy to a work of art. A true artist with a brush!
