It takes a village. This statement is the fundamental catalyst that drives everything I do and I’ve always done.

FIFA World Cup 2026 hosted a couple of games in Atlanta, Georgia. As a result, The Atlanta Mayors Office of Cultural Affairs @atlantaoca and The Atlanta Cultural Exchange @atlantaculturalexchange was activated for major days and brought the city out - through engagements that spanned across major verticals.

Crescent Gallery @crescentgallery_ was selected as an official curatorial partner. We delivered an exhibition program titled “The World Lives Here”, (2026) and its single purpose was to ignite the sense of purpose that connects the inhabitants of the city of Atlanta to the global stage.

We executed this and our message was that home isn’t just one physical location, home is where you carry with you.

As we continue to remain in our individual essence, it is also more important to have a globalized world view. With this, we realize that we are more alike than we are different.

Once again, it takes a village.

I want to give a special thank you to everyone that made this possible @atlantaoca @atlantaculturalexchange @angelaswatts @demoluwa @crescentgallery_ @aoo_designs @bdarlinevents @adebola.wilson @favourlani

Excited to announce that Crescent Gallery @crescentgallery_ was selected as a Curatorial Partner for FIFA World Cup 2026 in Atlanta.

This new body of works sheds a light on the faces of the people that drive the heartbeat of the city of Atlanta, through their creativity, entrepreneurship and resilience.

I’m immensely grateful for this opportunity to showcase our talent in such a historical moment for the city of Atlanta and the global community that the World Cup will attract.

The fabric is the cloth that sees.

Through it, your eyes are open to a new way of seeing the world.
Although this is a screen, however your view is not altered. The fabric sees what you see. But the thin layer opens a dimension of view that is renewed. It is nourishing and bright.

Sometimes dark, but depends on the viewer and what they choose to see. The fabric lends itself to depth and courage. It strengthens the eye of your observation. You see clear.

The fabric heals.

Its ability to function in a dynamic range of light speaks to the spectrum it crosses. And when we enter a new light with the fabric, the magnificent gaze strikes through the light and illuminates the subject with knowledge and truth. by @directedbydolapo

As I step into 30, I step with deep and profound gratitude. I’m grateful for my loved ones that constantly pour into me. In this new age, I’m walking boldly in the spaces He has prepared for me. With the feeling of wholeness, love and peace. This chapter is about grace, alignment, and choosing what delights my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Happy Birthday to me 🤍

BLACK GLOVES COLLEGIATE:

The process is the journey that should be enjoyed in order to experience the full benefit of the end goal. There comes a time in life, we must ask: How bad do we want it and what does it take?

Throughout the exploration of the process, we discovered the essence, the why, the grit and so much more.

During this journey of exploration, we realized that anything worth doing is worth doing right, and in order to do it well, we concluded that the full exploration of the process is essential to produce effective results.

Follow us as we take you through our system of the process. We may not have all the answers but we are definitely part of the solution. 📄

WHY LOVE - OUT NOW 🎥🎥

“He held onto a strength that had always protected him, but love asked for its release. Standing between what he’s built and what his heart truly seeks, he faces the cost of becoming. In letting go, he finds that the greater gift was love all along.”

WHY LOVE - OUT TOMORROW
“He wore strength like armor, but love asked him to lay it down. Caught between the fear of breaking and the hope of becoming, he stands at the edge of himself. In surrender, he finds the courage to choose love.”
