good day 🙋🏾‍♀️ so i took to substack t good day 🙋🏾‍♀️ so i took to substack to share key takeaways from Emerging Media Diversity Conference. 
for the full read, link is in my bio. ✨

of course, it's important to be in the room, but it's what you do with said information that is the real indicator of how you value the gems bestowed.💎

subscribe to my newsletter "The Makings Of" where I break down insights on my journey of being a creative business owner and multi-faceted artist. happy sunday 💜✨
so i'm in the space of defining my own family trad so i'm in the space of defining my own family traditions, alongside events that are a big deal in society but of zero significance to me. i didn't grow up celebrating Halloween, but my Nana did. and the only way i'd get a costume or go trick or treating is if i was at Nana's house. that was something my mom chose to be lenient about because she trusted my Nana would keep us safe. 

that being said, my child will not participate at all, with anyone, ever. i haven't that amount of trust in a single soul. 

as a mom, i believe in providing unbiased information about holidays to my offspring.. she's still young, and i'm very comfortable discussing the origins of rituals and symbols. so when i'm asked "why don't you celebrate XYZ holiday" my answer is simple. "that's not what we do."

PS. this farm experience left a lot to be desired. i checked before i pulled up, the reviews were great!! but i'm not people. 🙃
and this why i mind the business that pays me 🤣 and this why i mind the business that pays me 🤣 
folk say they need an accountability partner, whole time they mean they want an enabling partner. 
yeah, no, this ain't that.

hustle without direction will have you chasing wat hustle without direction will have you chasing waterfalls. in my latest substack article, I unpack the reality of balancing expectations, and flowing with your creative rhythm.

share with an artist you love who might need some motivation to keep going 💜
