Where do you find inspiration?Growing up in New York City, I was surrounded by struggle and creativity. In communities shaped by poverty—even where hip-hop was born—I saw resilience and hope. I knew early I had little, but art became my outlet. My older siblings encouraged me despite their own struggles, and even without my parents’ support, I kept going.
What would you do with $25,000?I would love to create a program to teach the youth. To give back to my old neighborhood of Washington Heights.
