@Coach_Creeks Love you, pumpkin!

Grateful for it all.

As an adult, I’ve lived in a number of places, but as far as I’m concerned, I’ve only ever had one real home. My home is my family. My home is Barack. #TheLightWeCarry

[Dr. Thema @drthema]

Not trying to force what doesn’t flow is a sign of growth.

You’re no longer invested in convincing people of your worth.

You choose to only grant space and time to those who recognize your essence.

I don’t believe in “taking photos prevents you from enjoying the moment”, nor do I believe in being on my phone 24/7. Balance is key. I say that because I’m SO THANKFUL to have a collection of videos / photos documenting my fondest times. Reviewing them puts me in the best mood.

i am one of one. i am unique. i was created with divine intention. the only person i need to compete with is myself.

Growing pains are called growing pains for a reason.

It’s not comfortable or clear what’s ahead, but it’s not supposed to be.

But when you stay down and stay focused on the growth — You lift your head in a better space than you could’ve planned.

Trust the process.

[holistic mami✨ @LeArielleSimone]

my bf and i opened up a creative studio for wellness workshops, content production, photography and videography. all things black-owned. all things creative.

[Allison Retina Stewart @allisonretina]

Unimaginable.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Anguished parents were instructed to stay away from the school that was the site of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. They were told to gather at the Uvalde Civic Center “for reunification” as students were still being accounted for. https://t.co/WkiKZcA9jI

Polaroid as a kid. But, my Nikon D90 was everything early on in my career. From photographing CEOs on Madison Ave. to being lost in a #TravisScott mosh pit at @SOBs — that camera has seen it ALL.

[Adobe Lightroom @Lightroom]

What was your first camera?

“never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was,” or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.
