I’ve always volunteered growing up and although I didn’t have it the best, I had the opportunity to see my privilege. My grandma fostered all my aunts and uncles outside of my mother, so I always saw service. Mom’s a social worker and then there’s me!

Always remember that you are the baddest. In saying this, I just want everybody to know that nobody’s work is better than the other. I don’t like comparing myself to people because everybody has a different vision, everybody considers art very different. I just feel like as creatives you have to understand that not everybody is going to understand your art. Your art is not something for everybody to like therefore, you don’t need everybody’s approval and the little support that you do get, appreciate it because it goes a long way.
