a day and a half left of twenty-seven.  it’s been a wild, tough, endearing, creative, supportive, angering, laughable, adventurous, loving, motivating, enlightening year.

i carried a white lighter in my left pocket every single day, just in case.

but i was meant to see twenty-eight, and i couldn’t be more grateful to the universe for seeing me through.  to everyone who made this year so special and showed up for me in ways i never could’ve imagined – i am deeply, wholly appreciative of each of you.  every new year seems to be the most tumultuous, and simultaneously the trip around the sun that leaves me most in awe.

some highlights of the big two-seven were :
- directing and photographing my first paid brand shoot in Los Angeles, AND getting tattooed by a dear homie during one of the shoots
- getting invited to exhibit one of my favorite pieces and live paint in a my first art show, also in LA
- becoming Auntie to another healthy, beautiful baby, B, and getting to celebrate P’s second birthday with her + fam
- I MODELED FOR PLAYBOY AS A HEAVILY TATTOOED MODEL, Y’ALL
- got my shit outta ATX finally and relocated to my new home in Denver with the help of my platonic life partner
- began learning to shoot medium format
- getting to help throw dope, inclusive events with badass women in Denver
- growing, learning to love myself and understand my worth, finding my people, and creating more than ever

i think i’m ready for twenty-eight, and a few more after that 🤍🌿

can’t wait to see my people Saturday + Sunday for all the scorpio bday festivities 🦂
