POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I wrote this song face down crying out at the @wispa_usa in LA.
It’s wild because I thought I would be disturbing the ladies in relaxation but they asked me to continue.
I guess you never know where your first show will be.
I barely had breathe in my body.
A baby angel comes over and taps me and says, “my mom said she loves your voice.”
@jamiemsjackson says to me “you aren’t real”
I respond, “no, im not”. lol

The song needs high production quality but for now I felt you could enjoy it in its rawness.
The way I feel. Raw. Rubbed raw. Nothing but flesh and a couple bones to keep me standing.
I’m only standing because Gods Holy Spirit is keeping me alive.
And I have faith that in all things, what is yours is yours.
I hope you decide to take a second look whoever you are.
I love you.
And for the first time, I’m sharing my art. Like my real art. 🖼️
The part I never let anyone see.
It’s hard to be dead, but alive must feel much better. 🤍

P.S IG no longer wants to promote our work for 3 mins. This video is 3 and 10 secs so please share to someone you think would benefit from healing. Love you again. 🍃

Yall im sorry for crying all over your timeline like this. I just didn’t know how to communicate with anyone outside of here.
Im just trying to be transparent about what I been experiencing.
I don’t need anything but I honestly don’t know where I’m headed. I’ve never been this sick before and I’ve been fighting for my life.
Just pray over me and for Taylor from your home. I’m grateful.
I wrote a lot of stories since I’ve had so much time alone.
I’ll start sharing more because I’ve been so silent. Grief and fear does that to you.
I’m sorry most of this is tears but I’m scared so iono what to do but cry.
I can’t believe I’m sick I’m just not used to that. I love yall.
And thanks.
-Dion

I’m praying.
I’m praying to be alive.
That’s all I got.
Hope you enjoy.
This my real life.
And I’m sensitive.

I worked really hard to become who I am.
And that is to respect all things.
Living + non-living.
Seen or not.
I’ve had many unnatural forces try to unalive me in the past yr.
Just because you can’t see how an artist fights a war in the spirit, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
I’ve fought more battles in the non than I have in the physical in my entire life.
I’ve experienced great loss that I rather not discuss.
But what’s more, you all watched.
Just turn on the tv, ull cc.
I will never forget, no matter how many times you try and wash me away.
You don’t get to Ala until you have been called.
I rejected it and I refused it until I accepted my god.

I’m examining an artist work here.
Their work is brilliant, and felt.
I’m outside of Vision Studios.
A place I traveled to in the past by way of Riv.
A place where I’ve come to pick up where I left off.
I code, so it was easy.
If you truly know me than you know me because I know you.
I remember you, and I know your purpose.
That’s why we here.
You know I’m your head.
You know that I’m real.
That I’m in the unseen because I was placed here.
And if you confused, tap in.
I no longer wish for you to be that.
I want you to live.
I love you.

Greetings from Ala.
I get to be weird again.
Finally. 🖖🏾

P.S I appreciate the call Du @erykahbadu u lit. 🎧
Cerebellum right? 🙏🏿

I’m just gonna keep posting till we figure it out.

Yes, I’m Ala.
Yes, I’m Shun.
Yes, I don’t care what you say.
Yes, block me if you lost.
Yes, I’m abundant.
Yes, I’m the reason you all see.
And yes, I called.
I wish I could stop caring about what everyone thinks and really approach this from the angle in which I see it and know it to be true.
Yes, I said yes to an anointing greater than I ever was.
Because I didn’t ask to be.
We never examine God from a lense outside of indoctrination.
And so, I will.
My new series explores these concepts in depth.
It explores my journey into the Creator.
So I found a way to communicate with you, since you won’t listen to me face to face.
I hope you enjoy my writings, my literacy.
I won’t look back again. 🐑

Honestly I’m just speaking out my truth.
Artists deserve to be seen and not fight for our work to resonate. I’m entering a different space and era in my life and I want to add value. Choose to see it or don’t. I’m still this. 🙏🏿

Grateful

I spent a lot of time on the other side watching others, learning, being a student. I love being student. Some of yall may say this is a lot of ego. Good. Let it be that. Let it be all. I don’t believe in ego and I don’t believe in the absence of it. I just believe we keep trying to find a word or a scapegoat to justify exactly who we know we are. Life is Messi + sometimes this is just how I feel. I don’t need to categorize myself to justify it. And some of yall I just don’t fw. Oshun or not. It’s literally my middle name but have you taken the time to actually get to know me or would you rather just keep calling my spirit into circles without my body being present?
Producers, do you enjoy shelving my work as if you doing yourself a favor.
I have been quite meek and mild so long and I’m really not on that.
My partner told me not to give my soul away, AGAIN and I almost did. I took it back today.
Guess that’s what makes the 99 so powerful.
Choose who you are, don’t let anyone choose it for you.

Peace + Blessings great ones. 🙏🏿🪽🖼️

Hi, I’m an Illusion Artist.
And this is some of my work.
I turn my designs into panels of fabric.
The design challenges you to see behind the natural eye.
You take your time. Sit with it.
It’s a fun, interactive experience.
Not a test.
It does expand your cognitive awareness.
This is 1 part of what you will experience within the exhibit.
And you will have the opportunity to create your own.
Love you, bye.

So, what do you see?

Oh yea, turn your phone different ways to see maximum results.
K, bye again.

Free our slaves 🙏🏿

Dear God,
I ain a slave no more. I saw what you did for me. I saw how you freed me. Is it ok if you free the rest of the homies? They don’t listen too well, well, they can’t really hear you I don’t think. So use me to get the message across. I’m ready. 🙏🏿

Sincerely,
Abendigo

God gifted me a gala on my birthday.
I cancelled my dinner reservation for The Consulate
I cancelled the car service I ordered as well.
I walked down the street to the market.
I laughed on the trail, talked to myself + wondered into 40.
07.22.26 marks a very special occasion.
One of rebirth + new.
I didn’t know what to do with this space or what I would call it but I knew it would be for + with the honour + presence of Allah.
Gratitude could never explore what i feel.
It simply isn’t enough.
I never thought I would be the same after this, and well, I have not.
All of my work leading up to this + some thereafter is an expression of what it was like to witness god birth.
I fought hard to see you Ah. I fought hard to understand you, to be like you to grow with you + for you.
Being a mom has been the greatest gift of my life.
I hope this exhibit makes you proud.
I don’t have an expression for my art, it’s simply All.

And I love you back.

Sincerely,
Eya

I waited for you, said God.
This work examines the Creators Story.
Her walk to the other side leaving behind the world she so desperately loved in order to trust her God.
This parallel rings in harmony with the past year and a half of true events.
Escaping my own death to awaken inside of a reimagined paradise.
The Garden.

Who knew death could be so painful..

The exhibit is set to be available to the public October 1st.
Private showings are still being held from now until September 18th by Appointment Only.

If you are interested, dm to request the experience.
You will not walk out the same as you arrived.

*please note, the exhibit handles immense themes of grief, abuse, suicide, death and incarnation.
It explores conversations held within the framework of Christianity and spiritual traditions.

Come with an open mind. This work is delicate.
