I’m a poet. Im CEO of a social impact incubator. At 31 I’ve helped founders earn millions. I’m VP of Business Development at a Public Sector integrator specializing in community evolving solutions.

I’ve ENJOYED my 31 yrs off the grid. No social, no IG, just life and God is a blissful way to live.

My art…Poetry ended that bid. 🥰

This picture is a flashback to my birthday last year when I went out dolo for the bday. I wanted to teach myself to celebrate me. A consistent theme on this trip around the sun. 🥰

Not a fan of livin for follows and likes.

Page under 🚧. Always.

I’m in no rush.

I’m not a bot lol

More love, art and light to come.

You love God when the prayer ain’t answered?

I’m so proud of this performance because it’s a testimony on the other side of failed procedure. With anesthesia still coursing through me and a heavy heart I was led in to the most beautiful healing spaces at @mahaliascorner

Essence of Clay has carried me through so many hard times. It’s only right I share it on Resurrection Sunday.

If you’re ever in Barbados 🇧🇧 don’t miss out. The talent, the music the band is a life changing experience. Came broken left whole.
