POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Thanks so much to everyone who came out last Friday to @mediasanctuary to share space and vibrations with me. I was so touched by the generosity of your presence and time.

Together, we raised funds for our siblings in Sudan and Palestine. Please scroll through to see the words of Sara @bsonblast about the urgent need for funds to get hygiene kits to women and girls in Sennar, Sudan. There is a goal to raise $2,000 to be able to provide these for them asap. If you have the ability to donate towards this urgent effort then please venmo @bsonblast whatever you can. Sara has been at the forefront of covering and explaining the war and humanitarian crisis in Sudan and helping to make necessary connections for direct aid on the ground.

Half of the funds raised from the show went to @combcutters who @yesfolk will be hosting an additional fundraiser for on Sunday.

Thank you all and elhamdu lillah الحمد لله that we have each other.

🐝 Bake for Palestine 🍯

Every purchase from this bake sale helps support six Palestinian beekeepers traveling to Amman, Jordan, to attend the 16th International Conference of the Arab Beekeepers Union.

100% of proceeds AND tips will be donated toward their travel, housing, food, conference fees, and workshops.

❓Why is this important❓

Attending this conference provides an opportunity to exchange knowledge, share research, learn new technologies and sustainable beekeeping practices, and connect with beekeepers and experts from across the Arab world.

Your purchase helps make that exchange possible and supports Palestinian beekeepers in continuing their work, sharing their knowledge, and caring for their land and communities.

Meet the MOCA community: These are the faces that made our first MOCAFEST, a success.

Swipe to meet some of the vendors, artists are program participants who brought our first festival to life.

Behind every table, workshop, and familiar face is a connection that makes MOCA more than a place to see art, it’s a place to find your people, share what you do, and build something together.

For 20 years, Teen Art Force has given young people space to create, connect, and grow. MOCAFEST celebrated that legacy alongside the wider creative community helping shape what comes next.

Thank you to everyone who shared their work, supported a local vendor, tried something new, or simply showed up. You’re part of our story.

See someone you know? Give them some love in the comments.

Looking back on where we started to where we are now can sometimes sadden the Soul.

Today's Miami (World) has become an outward reflection of Wealth Hoarding, Greed, & Lies.

Let's continue the works towards a Miami (World) where Quality of Life for All Living Things is priority.

Let's not forget to Live and Reflect - Love, Gratitude, Authenticity, & Happiness

Let's not make up History but be a part of creating it!
