I’m so excited to have had a hand in bringing @jimmythemodel.com idea into fruition 😄. Thank you, Jimmy!!!
As y’all know, I’ve been sitting with a lot lately. One thing I’ve been meaning to do is rebrand—not just the look, but how I show up in the world. Huge shout to @landandworld.bsky.social for her patience and craft. She helped bring this new vision into focus.

So sad to hear the passing of the great Alain Grée. His work was truly masterful and he will be sorely missed. Will post more of his gorgeously colorful work soon.

Nice Isn’t Always Good, and Kind Isn’t Always Easy

Being pro-Black means celebrating Black culture, history, and progress. It’s about uplifting a community that’s faced systemic oppression, not tearing anyone else down. Supporting Black empowerment doesn’t mean being anti-white—it’s about equality and justice for everyone.
