Work-life balance is definitely something that is a constant tug-of-war battle in my life. While starting my business, I was a senior in college at Kennesaw State University studying Industrial Engineering. Wanted to start a business while balancing the life of a student was no easy task. There were countless nights spent working on schoolwork, then finding the time to work on my business. Read More>>

Over the past two years, my work–life balance has shifted a lot. I’m still a college student, so juggling coursework with growing my platform can be challenging. What’s helped is getting clear on priorities and setting firm boundaries. I block time for classes, studying, and rest, and I treat creative work like scheduled “appointments” instead of squeezing it in at midnight. Read More>>

Work life balance has become increasingly important to me over time. In the past, I felt like I needed to always be available. As I grew in my career, I realized that balance is essential for both my well-being and my creativity.

I thought success was a destination. A finish line you cross when you hit a certain number of sales, or get a certain number of followers, or see your name on a big screen. But my journey has taught me that success isn’t a destination you arrive at; it’s a feeling you create along the way. Read More>>

Success is when your name is written in the lamb’s book of life. Success is also defined by the treasures that are stored away in heavenly places where no moths or thieves can steal. Where ever your treasure is there the desires of your heart will also be. When we delight are selfs in God. He gives us the desires of our heart. Read More>>

Honestly, the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a parent was deciding to heal myself. As a single mom raising a Black son in Atlanta, I knew I couldn’t parent him from my pain, my trauma, or my triggers. Therapy forced me to slow down and take a hard look at my patterns. How I reacted, how I communicated, and how I showed up. Read More>>

Why did I pursue an artistic or creative career? Honestly, for me, creativity isn’t just a career path—it’s a calling. I’ve always believed that imagination is the most powerful tool we have to change the world around us. Read More>>

I felt there was a ‘Void’ in the world. Something was missing. Everything was surface level. There was no true communication. Everyone following someone else. No one questioning who they really are. Everyone’s lost and scared to be themselves. Everyone buy the same thing or you’re not cool. There is no real raw emotional gritty music anymore. It used to be everywhere. Read More>>
