I need to up my MacGyver game
With a little ingenuity anything is possible…
Can YouFeel It
Yes I can! I am taking a trip down memory lane and remembering how impactful this video was to my inner space nerd.
My Motto
Watching Auntie Mame every Thanksgiving has been a family tradition since I was a kid. This scene were Mame rally’s Agnes to live her best life, resonates with me today as much as it did when I first watched the film eons ago.
More Marine Waste WIP
Channelling the ancestors with this one…
You are one of the good ones…
Bell Hooks dropping knowledge on the “you are one of the good ones” stereotype… listen
If I had a dollar for every time, some one told me I was one of the good ones, I’d be independently wealthy.

Im a National Leaders of Color Fellow
Imposter syndrome was telling me I was not accomplished enough to apply, but then I applied anyway and forgot all about my submission until today…
I just found out I was selected as the U.S. Virgin Islands Fellow for the 2023-24 National Leaders of Color Fellowship Program, representing the Mid Atlantic Arts (MAA) jurisdiction.
The National Leaders of Color Fellowship is a transformative leadership development experience curated by the Western States Arts Federation (WESTAF) to establish multicultural leadership in the creative and cultural sector.
Selected fellows receive access to specialists in the field, strategic learning objectives determined to deepen thought on anti-racist and culturally-oriented leadership practices, and national-level network and cohort building.
Upon completion of the 8 month program, participants transition to alumni status and have opportunities to collaborate in their region as advisors, funding panelists, and/or other professional capacities.
Learning from Indigenous Knowledge
Im still going through boxes unpacking and looking for my weaving tools. In the meantime, I’ve been foraging grasses and yucca leaves around Little Fountain, St. Croix USVI to make a woven grass skirt like these in this video as a sculptural form.
There is much to learn from indigenous cultures from around the globe…
