💞I’m so grateful for everyone who came out to our Valentine’s Queer Market, showed love, supported the vendors, and shared space with us💞

Thank you to @asyouaredc for hosting us again and always holding such a warm, welcoming space.🫂

To all of the vendors thank you for showing up, sharing your work, and bringing such kind, beautiful energy. And thank you to everyone who supported these businesses and made the market feel so full of love.🫶🏾

Shoutout to everyone who stopped by the bouquet bar to make something, whether it was a gift or just for yourself — that truly made my heart happy 🌸

And a very special thank you to @annastolt37 for supporting the bouquet bar and helping bring it to life. I couldn’t have done it without you, and I’m so grateful for your kindness and support.💞

So thankful for community and moments like this. More to come 💗 #queerevents #dcevents #valentinesmarket

my 25’ on digi cam :)

this year i learned that:
-hard conversations are only hard bc ppl avoid them so much
-discipline isnt about how you feel, its about necessity. you owe it to yourself and those you love to get shit done
-the price of community is inconvenience
-being mysterious & nonchalant isnt cool and only gets you surrounded by boring ppl
-i have so much more to learn.

cheers to 26’ and beyond 🧘🏽‍♂️

A labor of love 🤎 It was a pleasure curating @kanxsuda’s inaugural art exhibition, “Becoming & Belonging”. My goal will forever be to make sure Black storytelling, in all its forms, is celebrated.

✨Honored to showcase the incredible work of: @yesterdaynite @mayabeverly_ @cavierart @sketchedsteve @courtneynduke @tylerjoriginals @sam.ahhh

Big thanks to the dream team @aarafxadam @kee.lybuch @okayhanan & @bfa @saabrooklyn + my family and friends for their support and help in every way.
