We had the good fortune of connecting with W R E C K A and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi W R E C K A, is there something you believe many others might not?
Being humble. Humble has kept me overlooked in situations that I was over qualified for. Humility is a amazing characteristic to have, which in all points to staying grounded, but you also have to know when to fly as well.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What I feel sets me apart is my message and my upbringing. I’m born in Kansas City, Missouri, raised in Shreveport, LA which I consider home, and have lived the majority of my adult life in Florida. My message is a simple one, determination. Give up on bad habits, unsuccessful approaches, but never the creativity. I’m most excited about what’s to come. I’m coming upon a chapter in my life where I’ve finally looked at myself in the mirror and held myself accountable regardless of pitfalls and mishaps. Most will spend their whole life blaming others for choices made on their behalf, when we initially choose people in our lives to deal with. When you do something long enough, it’s natural you get better at it, so art and creativity has never been a issue, but over time if you have accomplished any milestones to mark progression, it can turn into a task. Loyalty is how I got to where I am today. Being loyal to myself, and those who have created opportunities for me to thrive. Perspective is what I mainly had to work on day in day out, because not having your mind in the game can cause your creative mind to be more practical and suffer. If I could go back an adjust one thing it would be discernment. The people who you choose to grow with can make or break you. My brand is called Un Cele’ which means (uncelebrated), a subsidiary of C.O.T.S (children of the sky). This represents the people I represent which i call Trillbunes, a combination of the word Trill and tribune, which translates into true and real champion of the people. Being over looked and underpaid and then looking around and realizing that’s most of the population is what drove me to that mantra.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Being that im new to Atlanta, I’ haven’t quite found my “ go to “ areas around here, or my tribe of people to hangout with. I love fine dining and art with a little bit of ghetto lol. I would Imagine our time would consist of these 3 elements.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout a special lady in my life for putting up with a dream chaser everyday. To chase what is not their is a task, but to be with someone chasing the invisible is even harder. Shoutout to helen for the love and infinite support !
