What is SoCurious?

SoCurious is a people-powered media company.
We make content, products, and experiences that help you feel more human.

Kinda like if PBS had been created by a mashup of Mr. Rogers and Basquiat instead of a group of white dudes.

Why are you building this?

Because I believe joy is the revolution.
Because I’m an artist. An entrepreneur. A feeler. A fighter. A futurist.

I’ve gone through three major awakenings:
2016. 2020. 2023.

Nearly ten years of wild stories, hard lessons, and spiritual growth have uniquely prepared me to guide others through this moment of collective reckoning.

We’re all being called into greater alignment—
To step away from toxic people, places, and systems.
To dismantle inherited trauma and rewrite the story.
To do the sacred, creative work we’re here to do—to save ourselves, and this planet.

The old systems are crumbling.

And while the distractions are incessant, a new world is already being born.

What’s the full vision?

I believe radical change is simple:

  1. Regulate your nervous system.
  2. Reconnect with your inner child.
  3. Follow your joy.

Here’s how we’re doing it:

  • Launching short-form video shows and newsletters to share this joyful philosophy
     
  • Teaching creatives and multi-hyphenates how to build sustainable, soul-aligned businesses
     
  • Designing products that spark delight and connection
     
  • Hosting real-world experiences that build community, creativity, and collaboration

This isn’t a nonprofit.

This is a joyful, for-profit business that actually gives a damn—about people, about art, about the planet.

What do you need to get there?

$250,000. (That number feels so intense, but its the truth)
Enough to bring on a small team, run lots of ads to grow the audience, and go on a national joy tour.

What have you done so far?

With just $25,000 in savings, I’ve launched multiple proof-of-concept projects:

  • Good Morning Sunshine – a weekly email of inspiration and wonder
     
  • SoCurious About – a podcast on creativity and healing
     
  • Creative Reset – a YouTube show encouraging multi-passionate people to make money by doing their wildest work
     
  • Joy is the Revolution – 3 pop-up social art experiences
     
  • Launch the Damn Newsletter – a workshop to help creatives share their voice
     
  • Joy Bombs Shop – art prints, greeting cards, and affirmations that spark delight

Why me?

Because I’ve tried everything I dreamed up.
Because I’ve failed in fascinating ways—and kept going.
Because I don’t just talk about creativity. I live it.

  • Launched InvadeNOLA, a culture magazine for New Orleans
     
  • Co-founded VenturePop, a conference for creative professionals
     
  • Founding member of The Good Shop
     
  • Served as a creative director in advertising for 8 years
     
  • Traveled the US as a photographer for Dear World
     
  • Spoke on stages and podcasts across the country
     
  • Self-published books, zines, and digital products
     
  • Published The Reset Workbook with Penguin Random House

What are your biggest challenges?

  1. I’ve never cared about money. But I’ve learned that money is how we express value in this world. So I’m learning to prioritize it and honor its power.
     
  2. I’ve had to learn to regulate my nervous system—to move from being an anxious mess to having the presence to sit with myself with love and appreciation.
     
  3. I’m healing my people-pleasing tendencies, my need for external approval, and my desire to save people that don’t want to save themselves. 

    There are so many distractions for light bearers.

How can you help?

I believe this work matters.
Because joy is not a luxury.
It’s how we heal.
It’s how we fight back.
It’s how we win.

Let’s build this new world together.
One act of joy at a time.

the scariest moment of my adult life.

On Friday, June 20th, I deposited $4,800 into my bank account. I felt… calm. Secure. Like I could finally exhale. I even went to the store and bought the good lotion. (EOS Shea Butter, if you’re curious.) That weekend felt like a small vacation. For the first...
