POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Y’all ready for a dose of melanin magic with a twist? ✨ I’m launching my new blog, Crowns and Canvas, where we dive deep into everything that makes me who I am: fun fashion, Black history/culture, a lil travel, lots of creativity with a sprinkle sprinkle of vulnerability in hopes that people who share the same interests can find a safe space to land 💕

My first post tackles a topic close to my heart: “Black Girl Not So Magic: How Therapy Saved My Life.” In this post, I open up about revelations I had in my first therapy session that led to my perfectionism diagnosis 🫣

*currently living a dream I didn't know I had*

Once I got tenure, I thought I would put my feet up and chill because I earned it. Who would have thought I would be asked to serve as the Chair of the Theatre and Dance Dept here at AP!?!

It has been 54 days since I started. There have been thousands of questions, hundreds of emails, many, many meetings, loads of help from students+ colleagues, lots of laughs, lots of growth, some doubts, a little faith...and somehow its all working.

Cheers to my next 4 years. Send me smoothies and prayers. ✨🙏

I am back in a creative process for the Brave New Works Lab 2026 at @ozartsnashville and this time I’m bringing friends! Dancers @official_justintinker @zxshaniya_ and @amaya_.marie with singer @onealblackmusic and my trusted pianist @lexbrolezal and dramaturg/documentarian @margaret_eliza

I don’t have a title yet but this project centers my research of the Black Radical Imagination(as embodied process) Sankofa and speculative futures.

I don’t have much experience working in this way but I’m trusting the process and watching it all unfold has been deeply rich and satisfying.

Please Join us on May 14th - 16th @ 8pm! Tickets on sale now. Yay! by @ecainyoface

The world feels like a circus right now.

No think pieces today, just my art.
