RESUME

ARTIST STATEMENT

I am a creator, guide, and storyteller who channels the transformative power of color, culture, and spirit into my work, blending ancient traditions with modern techniques to empower individuals and communities. Rooted in the African Diaspora, my practice incorporates vibrant palettes, metaphysical guidance, and visual storytelling to align personal vision with higher potential.

As a Sacral Chakra Visioneer, I unlock creative and sensual energy, guiding authentic expression and healing, while as a Visual Communications Educator, I teach individuals and organizations to craft powerful, culturally resonant narratives through branding, design, and photography. Whether designing visuals, leading rituals inspired by ancestral wisdom, or fostering transformation through creative consulting, my work celebrates identity, amplifies purpose, and honors the interconnectedness of our collective stories.
