Full transparency 2026 has NOT been my year. They say God doesn’t give you more than you can handle but goodness gracious somebody tell Him I’m not one of his strongest soldiers! Nonetheless, in reflection I came across some moments of joy this summer that I wanted to share to remind myself I am surrounded by love and I am rich in friendship, family and gratitude. Even when life isn’t going how I hoped, I still have to take time to appreciate what I do have. Here’s to the rest of the year looking 🆙

Even the things that are unplanned, chaotic and a nuisance are still necessary in order to live a life worth living. It’s a blessing to be able to open my eyes daily and see the sunrise without getting up or moving too far from purpose.

It’s a blessing to be seen in a way that matches my magic rather than vanity; to be told that I am beautiful and the work that I create is worth the path I’ve traveled.

To grow and propagate myself in new ways to making new versions of me that are built on promise, faith, and activation, gratitude.

To walk out my door and see @iamcardib B filming her music video on the same streets we find peace and creativity. Watching the excitement on my son‘s face as the biker boys rolled up and down the street all day long being their true selves for the sake of artistry.

Surprised to run into the amazing educator @monicajsutton and tell her how much she prepared my sweet Son for pre-k 4 when he was 6 months old (Covid). I let her know she’s part of the reason my son is a genius and is on a 5-6th grade reading level and entering 2nd grade a year early… that meant so much, from one Black woman educator to another. His face lit up once he realized who she was and sang “circle time is so much fun”.

A man who knows what he wants rarely needs much convincing.

Reden came to ELLIS ESQ through our friends at @groomconcierge with a vision of how he wanted to show up, confident, refined, and unmistakably himself. Our job wasn’t to change the vision. It was to understand it, sharpen it, and tailor every detail until it felt inevitable.

Undeniably ELLIS ESQ

What a moment! 🇭🇹✨ Thank you to everyone who showed up with so much love, pride, and energy 🙌🏾.

It was an absolute honor to DJ on the @bayotour stage and contribute my sound to such a powerful celebration of Haiti! 🙏🏾 Special thanks to @MichaelBrun for the invitation and to the incredible team behind the scenes who made the Majik happen 👏🏾🔥🎉.

Grateful to share this moment with a global community that continues to prove our greatest power is our unity, our culture, and our creativity 🌍. The victory was bigger than the score 💯✊🏾.

Here’s to the ancestors, to the next generation, and to a Haiti that continues to inspire the world.

This piece is a detail of a series of murals titled “Hysterical Realism: Abya Yala”, permanently on view at the Newark Public Library’s NJ Hispanic Research & Information Center. @newarklibrary @njhric

The entire series looks at how migration creates culture by way of assimilation, miscegenation and reconciliation. It shows a Puerto Rican beach, a Mexican folk dancer, a full moon and an Andean chakana pattern, all coming together in an impossible moment, only partially plausible in the realms of imagination and made physical by art.

I dedicate this public piece to the close to 300 incredibly brave detained immigrants who are in the middle of a hunger and labor strike at the for-profit and GEO Group owned concentration camp of Delaney Hall, right in the city of Newark. I hope one day they get to see this reflection of themselves in public space.

The City of Newark Division of Arts and Cultural Aﬀair and the Newark Arts & Education District, Invest Newark, the Newark Urban Enterprise Zone, the Newark Alliance, and Newark Downtown District — together with local arts nonprofit Project for Empty Space — announced the launch of A CITY OF CREATORS, a large-scale public art initiative activating vacant retail storefronts across Downtown Newark.

The initiative brings art to more than 20 vacant storefronts, creating an immersive arts corridor featuring work by 25 local artists and organizations. Through window-based installations, the initiative connects artists, small businesses, and neighborhood narratives, reframing vacant storefronts as spaces of visibility, creativity, and opportunity.
A celebration for the work will be held Thursday, June 11, from 5–7 PM at 756 Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson Blvd.
Congratulations to all the participating artists and organizations.

Location partners include Paramount Assets, RBH Group, Hanini Group, and Prudential Financial, Inc., all of whom are supporting ongoing downtown revitalization eﬀorts. Installation support was provided by Go Metro Pro. This project was paid for by UEZ.
Additional information about each storefront, featured artist, curatorial theme, and the small business directory is available at cityofcreators.art.

brothers over everything. 🤞🏾🖤

To my groomsmen and the day-ones who held me down when the pressure was on… I’ll never forget what y’all did for me this past weekend. When everything got chaotic, stressful, and unpredictable, you didn’t hesitate — you showed up, stepped in, and carried the weight like it was your own.

In a world where loyalty is rare and most people move with conditions, y’all proved that real brotherhood still exists. The kind where a phone call is all it takes. No questions. No excuses. No strings attached. Just “I got you.”

Through the storm, the last-minute changes, the madness behind the scenes — y’all made sure I stayed grounded, focused, and able to enjoy one of the biggest days of my life. That’s not something I take lightly. I owe y’all more than words can explain.

These aren’t just friends… this is family. Built through years, trials, wins, losses, late nights, hard talks, and unwavering belief in each other.

The mission hasn’t changed and never will: we’re all getting rich — in life, in love, in purpose, and yeah… in the bank too. 💼💰

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for riding for me the way you did. I stand taller because of y’all.

Forever my brothers. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏿
