This is proof that childhood dreams can come true.

by | Joy is the Revolution

Next year I turn 40, and I just had my first solo art show.

This weekend was a major milestone in my journey as an artist.

“Joy is the Revolution” was all about hope, community, and reconnection.

Leading up to the event? Ya boy was stressed.

But every piece of art reflected my heart and heritage.

DJ WyldFlower set the vibe.

We had make-and-create stations where people could color versions of my pieces and design their own Joy Bombs.

My homeboy Sani made giant letters.

My high school best friend made delicious mocktails.

And I got to do joy readings with attendees using my Joy Bomb Affirmation cards.

But this wasn’t just about me.

It couldn’t have happened without my community.
Your support.
Your belief.
Your presence made this real.

I’m beyond grateful to share my art and heart with Austin, TX.

Joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a force. And it’s contagious.

This is just the beginning.

Massive thanks to everyone who helped make this happen: Valerie, Camari, Evelyn, LaCole, Chris, Sani, Nhi, Shari, Kay, Kiana, DJ Wyldflower, and the Origin Studio House team (Brittney, Dante, and Stefon).
