Seven years of becoming, hanging on those walls. And then four days of watching people stand in front of it and feel something.
I made this show about the storm underneath the bright surface. About all the versions of myself that carried me here. And somewhere between opening night and the final goodbye, I watched people find their own storms in it, their own becoming. I will never have the words for what that felt like.
Some of these pieces have gone home with people now. They get to live new lives, in new rooms, with new hearts. And I get to carry these four days with me forever.
Still tearing up going through these. 🩷 More photos because I can't stop looking, and I don't want to.

Special thank you to my curator @sarahuwadiae for believing in this vision from day one. To my project manager @remadets_events for keeping everything moving🥹❤️‍🔥
Special thanks to @lagoschopcatering

Hey friends! I’m casting for a short film I’m producing and directing — Safe Zone.
It’s an intimate, character-driven story about trauma and healing, and I'm looking for a strong Black female lead (late 20s) for an intimate, performance-driven role.
If you’re interested or know someone who might be a great fit, please reach out or share!
If you or someone you know might be a fit, I’d love to connect!

The beginning of something special 💛

From the moment the doors opened, the energy was already building — people arriving, connecting, and stepping into a night we won’t forget ✨

AYO! was more than an event… it was a room full of joy, laughter, and real community.

More moments to come 👀
