A week ago, we gathered at What's The Word (my art studio) to celebrate what would be the centennial birthday of John William Coltrane — a man who left a lasting imprint on black musical traditions as well as the genre of jazz. The depth of his contributions have been unfolding themselves long after he transitioned; and while his playing and compositional abilities are remarkable, it is his artistic bravery to push into spiritual realms and avant -garde at the height of career success that has always been an inspiration for me as an artist and vinyl collector. That period after A Love Supreme is a testament to artistic and personal conviction — those short but prolific years before his untimely death when industry expectations and what you inherently need to do as an artist are tested. And oh did Trane answer. Thank you to friends and guests who came together with such generosity of spirit and community — and to everyone who brought albums, stories, gifts of appreciation and performances to share. This would be possible but not magical without you. The night was anchored with the generosity of @cauleen_smith, as we screened her film "Pilgrim" — a visual montage meditating on utopias that is sonically foregrounded by Alice Coltrane's piece "One For the Father" which is dedicated to her late husband and collaborator. I’m grateful for the tenets of third world cinema in your practice that meant that I didn't have to explain the gravity of showing your film in my studio while simultaneously having it available in institutions. Lastly and definitely not least of all, we had the edible delights and talents of @akao_food_lab who kept us nourished and @noirewinelounge who poured and shared the most beautiful wine with us to compliment. Until we gather again..and we shall🤲🏿 #coltrane100 #johncoltrane

Radical empathy under the Soweto sun. Love will save day, we will be okay! The true measure of a brand is not found in the silhouette of its garments, but in the sanctuary it builds for its people. This past Heritage Day, the open-air-landscape of the second annual @thesis_lifestyle A Day at Thesis Picnic at the Soweto Equestrian Centre offered far more than an exhibition of local style. Having been entirely blown away by the inaugural edition, l returned to be taken up higher. What unfolded yesterday peeled back an entirely new, visceral layer of what it means for a brand to commune with its people. The defining revelation did not happen under the main stage speakers or amidst the beautifully tailored streetwear crowds. It happened in the quiet, protective geometry of a routine, chivalrous act. Walking my lady to the restroom, a deliberate habit ensuring her safety, I encountered a level of foresight I have never witnessed at any mass gathering in my entire life. Staged just before the entrance was a beautifully appointed wellness station offering complimentary tampons, disposal tissues, and hand cream. By placing essential sanitary care directly at the threshold of the space, Thesis deliberately engineered a touchpoint of pure thoughtfulness, transforming a standard public amenity into a baseline for human dignity. In a society working tirelessly to correct, protect, and actively rewrite the narrative for women, this gesture went far beyond standard hospitality. It was a radical demonstration of spatial dignity. By anticipating a woman’s fundamental physiological needs and ensuring her comfort, Thesis showed how an environment can be engineered to make women feel profoundly safe, honoured, and shielded. Looking out at the collective vibration of the space, it became clear that this wasn’t just a corporate event; it was a living, breathing testament to a conscious community economy. It proved that true culture is never superficial, it is built on the active foundation of mutual respect, deliberate protection, and quiet, revolutionary care. #thesislifestyle #soweto #community #brand #cx
