Writer & amateur photographer. Slowing down on purpose. Practicing rest, presence, and quiet joy.
Spent my #Juneteenth exploring my city. Rain, sleet, or snow, Detroit will always shine.

A moment for the Black fathers who came before.
The ones who built the homes.
Stood in the portraits.
Held the babies.
Said little, but did much.

This is for the fathers history doesn’t always mention.
But we see them.
We remember you.

Happy Father's Day!

GNX Tour in Detroit. I had a wonderful experience taking these photos and I hope you enjoy this abstract view of the tour.

We outgrow the slides,
but not the memories.

These aren’t just playgrounds,
they’re archives of joy.

After the breaking came the blooming.
After the blooming came the wings.
And just like that,
she remembered she was meant to fly. 🦋✨

She bloomed right from the wound.
No detour. No apology.
Just quiet, determined life.

This is what healing can look like.
Not perfect, but possible. 📷✨

Slowed down just enough to catch this drop before it let go.
Learning to see what’s been whispering to me all along.
This is what freedom looks like: quiet, focused, mine. 📷✨

Just a little reminder that peace doesn’t have to shout to be powerful. Sometimes it’s just a bridge, a breeze, and water that keeps moving. 🌊✨

Echoes of my inner child. Art for the sake of art. No pressure to be perfect. Just being. I’m not creating for achievement anymore. I’m creating to remember who I was before the world said I had to earn rest.

What inspires you? For me, it’s transformation. The quiet miracle of nature becoming. Every season reminds me to let go, grow, rest, and begin again. I return to nature because it reminds me that change doesn’t have to be loud. It can be soft. It can be beautiful. It can be enough.

A sunrise.
A still city.
A reflection that showed me more than I expected.

Wrote something gentle. Let it be what it is.

Reflections Don’t Lie
A sunrise. A skyline. A still river that showed me everything I needed to see.
