I get to turn pain, passion & perspective into visuals & poems people can feel. Art lets me speak without saying too much & speak freely.

Poetry for sure. I like creating art that feels real, the type that comes from pain, growth, love, survival, and the environment I was raised in. I also enjoy creating videos and clothes that tell stories without having to explain too much.
Where do you find inspiration?A lot of my inspiration comes from life. Growing up in the projects, going through struggles, relationships, family, the obstacles i face trying to accomplish my goals while handling college on my own, it gives me something to speak about. Music, late night thoughts, conversations, and emotions inspire me too.
What would you do with $25,000?First, I’d invest in my future and take pressure off myself. I’d put money toward college, build my brand and creative work, help my family, and invest in things that can create long term income. I never came from much, so I think about stability just as much as success.
