SHARING THE ABUNDANCE OF ARTISTRY WITHIN LIFE AND LIFESTYLE!

Week 43 of 2023

We’re inspired by the culture that is Black and African American first and foremost. We strive to love ourselves so we can effectively love others.

Social media plays a prominent role in who we are, who we have become and even how we will define ourselves into the future. As in and with Art, Design and Photography, we’re sharing and reflecting over the content that has influenced and impacted us today into tomorrow.

Since a youngin, I knew that I wanted to do anything and everything that had to do with Art and Design. It didn’t take long after entering the working world that a tremendous passion for Photography would’ve been cultivated. Now—as an entrepreneur—I find myself in and at a place where so much can be done and I love it. The fusion of technology and creativity ignites the passion of artists, designers, photographers and more empowering them to capture, embody and reflect the essence of our rapidly evolving world while evoking emotions that transcend time. In what seems to be an ever-constant moment of reflection for African Americans, social media often not only informs me of who I am…but also in what the world is and has the potential to become.

Growing up off of magazines such as VIBE, BLACK MEN, BLACK ENTERPRISE, THE SOURCE, GQ and many others, I know, understand and have felt the impacts of commercialization within and thru culture thru and for capitalism. With that awareness and appreciation, I know the significance of being able to communicate artistic thoughts to be applied to the various platforms of life. In being a Man of Color, Culture and Ethnicity, I further appreciate being to create and produce…because of who and what we—as African Americans—are and ought to be.

*I’m doing this for so many reasons—it’s crazy. We weren’t put here to live in the filth of suppression, depression, oppression or repression. We were meant to maximize upon who we are to be of impact upon this pale blue dot. I didn’t com cup with a lot and as I got older, I knew that I wanted to create—like I REALLY just wanted to create. Experimentation…and creation. Now that I’ve gotten to that place where I can, I know that I must.
