I recently had the honor of painting this 8ft x 8ft mural of George Floyd. My goal was to uplift his life and legacy in a way that feels powerful, beautiful, and full of light. The stars in his eyes represent hope—for justice, for healing, and for a better world for all of us. This piece is dedicated to his family, his friends, and to the movement his life helped spark.

Thank you to @studios.moss @the_styldlife @greenlightfund

One week ago today I held my first intimate Wintering Dinner Salon at the @fsminneapolis, and invited 33 people to gather around the table to reflect on winter’s call for stillness and any other thing it needs to say in this season. The idea for this dinner was really born out of my love for setting a table and being in company with anyone looking for a soft landing to settle among winter’s frozen roots, and maybe find a little patch of sun from time to time. I am deeply grateful to The Four Seasons and @jdtober for saying yes to my inquiry to partner and host at their gorgeous space. Every experience with them the hospitality is so overwhelmingly intentional that is inspires me to raise my own level of service. 

To have had so many people—many whom I knew, many I did not—come through and share space and ultimately leave as kindred spirits was beautiful. Some of you even ventured from out of state to be here! Thank you so much to everyone for leaving your cocoons on a cold Friday evening and infusing the room with so much beautiful conversation and love. I was overjoyed to be with you.

I am enormously grateful also to the contributors who helped lend their gifts to this evening to make it even more special. Sydney of @cosmos.floral created the beautiful floral arrangements for the table, and elevated that tablescape in such a thoughtful way. Go to her page and just oogle all of her floral rangements and then hire her ASAP for your next event 💐

To one of the coolest photographers @roy.son whom I connected with via Instagram, and who came through with his beautiful eye to make these photos, thank you so much. Can’t wait to collaborate with you again in the future.

And to my dear sister LaQuisha, of @the_studiohouse who sewed so many dinner napkins for this evening. I love you. I highly encourage anyone seeking tea towels and pillows to visit her page and shop the beautiful designs that she creates. 

And lastly to my partner Mike for always deeply supporting me in all my ideas and throwing spaghetti against the wall alongside me ❤️

Look at me. A Spring born baby out here doing free PR for winter. And we gon’ do it again ❄️
