POV: You pull up to the POC camp at Burning Man and suddenly… it feels like the family fish fry you didn’t know you needed. 😂🖤✨

There’s something powerful about finding your people in the middle of the desert.

The music.
The laughter.
The twerking.
The unapologetic joy.
The feeling of being seen without having to explain yourself.

And I hope you remember this:

Human connections aren’t supposed to feel like mind games.
They shouldn’t leave you constantly questioning where you stand.

The right connections should feel like home.
They should expand you, nourish you, make you laugh, make you dance, and fuel your soul.

Protect the connections that feel like freedom. 🖤✨

We are here, burning man is all about radical inclusion

2022... Build week.

Sunday. Just after midnight.

One final nail. Then... silence.

For 7 days, the desert had become part of us. White dust covered my skin in layers. The Gate had just opened, but it felt like we’d already lived an entire lifetime out there. We’d worked through heat, relentless wind, and moments where the easier choice would have been to stop.

But the team never did. And then...it was standing.

I remember looking around at the people beside me and thinking how strangely beautiful life had brought us together. Some had started as acquaintances or brief convos years earlier on playa. At the time, I had no idea those moments were introducing me to the very people who would one day help bring this big crazy vision to life.

Somehow, I knew who to call when the time came.

One of the greatest lessons this project gave me was to trust my intuition, and my ability to gather the right people around this vision.

These were the people I’d laughed with, disagreed with, stayed up until 4 a.m. solving impossible problems with. The people who taught me to weld. The people I’d share 10 p.m. dinners with after 12hour days in the shop.

Together, we built something that had once only existed inside my head until enough people chose to believe in it too.

The craziest part? We never completed a full build before bringing it to playa.

The first time Black! Asé truly stood in its entirety-was here.

It still feels like something that shouldn’t have worked.

As artists begin arriving on playa & the sound of build fills the desert, I know the mix of emotions many may be carrying. The excitement, pressure, exhaustion, anxiety.

I’m rooting for you all. For the newbies-Trust every part of the process that’s happening for you, not to you. Challenges & all.

To every BIPOC artist helping shape the landscape of BRC, thank you for continuing to dream bigger than what feels possible.

Because for one quiet moment just after midnight, standing in the dust beside people the universe had quietly placed in my path years before, I realized that the thing I’d been carrying in my imagination had become real.

I’ll never forget that feeling. 🙏🏾team

As we decompress from last week’s immaculate energy, we just want to thank everyone involved, including YOU ALL for showing up.

The location amongst the trees was intentionally set for US to feel held in a space where we ALL could feel seen.

Thank you for the amazing, loving energy yall brought.

Make sure you’re following us for the next one!
