What you won’t do…

Situations.

Planning, filming, and editing my first short.

I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, I’m just doing it.

No fancy cameras and no fancy tricks. Filmed it on Dom’s phone and edited it on DaVinci.

I’ve been purposely avoiding videography😅. Alas, here we are.… If you know me though, you KNOW I’m all about that art/create/life situation and I love when situations just align and the opportunities present themselves.

Thank you Dominique Gorley. This is a dope life receipt for me. I had so much fun! NOT to mention you got me to step out of my comfort zone…we’ve awakened something. eeeeeeeekkkk. lol.

KING 👑

King @ Sofar gave me another idea!

Healing Trauma FTP gang gang things.

I went to see King Kimbit at a SOFAR event this past Monday and it happened again.

King and I have been working together for a minute on her latest upcoming project “Healing Trauma FTP”. When this project is released it is going to be amazing.

I’ve been a fan of King the Human for a while now, but I officially became a fangirl of King Kimbit the Performer this past Monday. She was singing her version of BAD and I was hooked.

During her performance at one point she stood up and started to sing “I NEED TO GET OUT OF MY HEAD. GET OUT OF MY HEAD. GET OUT OF MY HEAD…..” and again I had one of my moments where everything goes slow-mo and it feels like I’m in a movie and everything is clear. It was like what was happening outside of me was an exact replica of what the inside of me needed. King Kimbit the human and the performer are medicine. I just knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Also, also… I see you @DGSOULMUSIC

#NEUROTIKASESSIONS

NEUROTIKa SessioN #1

This one ain’t for peasants…

This is for the magicians, the alchemists, and the slightly cray cray.

So my girl graduated from yoga school and had her first class. It was at Prana Shanti, the new spot on Gladstone. I can’t even describe this class it was such magic. It was outdoors evening sunset vibes. Dancing, music, live drumming —if you know me, you know I’m a sucker for a dope vibe and any reason to dance.… I was there to take pics, but as per usual I couldn’t help myself and I just had to partake in the awesomeness. So I’m stretching, I’m dancing, snapping pics, and at some point at the top of her lungs Jax belts : “The universe doesn’t want you to breakdown it wants you to break free !!!!!!!!!!.” Like afro beat in the back, live drumming with Dennis, and this bitch drops this gem. I swear to God, its like time stopped and she saw right through me and knew exactly what words my soul needed to hear. Like in that moment everything made sense (even if it was only for a split second.. lol). This bad ass bitch is medicine. If you know her you already know, I don’t need to tell you.

So I reached out to another good friend DJ MELO T, and fast forward a few weeks and here we are.

First jam session was fucking brilliant. I’m always so amazed when creative people get in the flow…..especially when the only mandate is to play and see what happens. I swear I live for this shit.

DJ MELO is working his magic now. I’m also in the process of teaching myself new tricks… Stay Tuned baby.
