✨ MY CALLING MONDAY ✨

The #1 question I get about my art:
“Why do you use yourself instead of casting another model?”

Simple. Because if the world was casting my story,
they’d pick somebody taller, skinnier, lighter.
Loose curls, not kinky coils.
Basically… not me.

So I became the art I needed.

I make the work for the 6-year-old me who thought She-Ra and my grandma were the two baddest women alive.
For the 12-year-old me who wanted a perm and couldn’t see the beauty in her kinks and coils.
For the 16-year-old me who kept being told I was “sexy” but rarely heard I was beautiful.

I put myself in the work because somewhere in East St. Louis, Flint, Detroit, Chicago — right now — there’s a little brown girl staring in the mirror trying to shrink herself into a beauty standard that was never made for her.

And I want her to see me and say,
“Oh… I’m already enough.”

I also do this for Black men and boys — especially men of color — to expand their idea of what beauty looks like. I hear all the time:
“You’re the first dark-skinned woman I’ve ever been attracted to.”
And that tells me everything about how limited the imagery has been.

So yeah — I use myself because this is representation as resistance.
This is healing as art.
This is Black love, healthy touch, and Black womanhood on our own terms.

To say it plain:
I’m in my art because I’m supposed to be. 🖤

Not for attention.
Not for validation.
But so the girls who look like me can finally see themselves as the main character — not the side note.

Subversive. Black Girl. Artist.
Modern-day griot.
Still telling our stories. Still reclaiming the image. Still making the art I wish I had growing up. ✨

If this resonates, my first book of poetry Black Pool of Genius – Volume I goes even deeper into this journey.

✨ MY CALLING MONDAY ✨

Too big.
Too small.
Too much.
Not enough.

That’s how I’ve felt in church spaces my whole life.

I’ve heard folks say,
“If it’s really a calling from God, you should find it in the Bible.”

Back in undergrad, a fellow Christian actor told me something that changed everything:
“If you’re looking for your calling as a griot… look at Jesus.”

Because Jesus was a storyteller.
Parables are stories.
And He used them to reach folks who wouldn’t hear truth any other way.

“He did not speak to them without using a parable.” — Matthew 13:34

That freed me.

’Cause being a subversive Black girl artist comes with judgment.
Church folks calling my work “too artsy,” “confusing,” even “pornographic.”
Side-eyes over a cigarette in a photo.
Pearl-clutching when my calling don’t look how they think a Christian artist should look.

But let’s be real —
we got no evidence Jesus was conservative or liberal.
What we do know is He stayed offending folks who cared more about rules than relationship.

God made me a griot.
An educator.
A storyteller.
A servant leader.

My art is how I teach.
My stories are how I reach.
My work is ministry — even when it makes people uncomfortable.

“God gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” — 2 Corinthians 5:18

This calling ain’t mine to explain.
It’s mine to walk out.

Still answering.
Still creating.
Still telling the story God put in me. 🖤✨

✨ SHOWCASE SATURDAY ✨

I use myself in my art because Black women deserve to see ourselves as the heroine of our own lives.

Not the side character.
Not the muse for somebody else’s vision.
Not the cautionary tale.

The one with agency.
The one with magic.
The one who survives, transforms, and still shines.

In the tradition of Frida Kahlo, I put my own body, my own story, my own becoming into the work.
Not ‘cause I need attention —
but ‘cause representation starts with somebody being brave enough to say,
“This story matters. And I’m telling it from the inside.”

This fairy ain’t about escape.
She about reclamation.

A Black woman, glowing in her own skin, rooted in nature, holding her softness and her power at the same damn time.
Subversive on purpose.
Beautiful without apology.

I want women to look at this and see themselves —
as magical, complicated, sensual, sacred, evolving.
As the lead in their own damn story.

If you ever needed permission to take up space in your own life…
this is it.

We been the magic.
I’m just documenting it. 🖤✨
Pretty Fire
The Afrocentric Pin-Up Girl

✨ THANKFUL THURSDAY ✨

Grateful for the work and the story behind it.
Sharing my Voyage Michigan feature today — and whew… this journey has been a real one. 😮‍💨

This story ain’t just about me —
it’s about the clients, students, and communities I get to serve.

Because service is the ministry.
“Use whatever gift you have to serve others.” — 1 Peter 4:10

Grateful for the calling,
grateful for the people,
and grateful God keeps multiplying the impact
(even when I’m tired and need a snack). 😭🖤

✨ HEALING WEDNESDAY ✨

My hair journey been healing me for YEARS —
from perms → my big fro → now locs.

And imma be real…
I miss my fro.
These locs cute but they don’t feel like me yet.
Still proud of myself tho, ’cause I been loyal to my REAL hair since BEFORE it was “cute.”

Back when folks called me puffball, wooly-headed, nappy —
God was already teaching me:
“How you treat your REAL hair reflects how you feel about YOURSELF.”

So yeah… I’m at that crossroads.
Unloc? Or let ’em cook another year? 👀
But this journey is for ME,
about ME,
and led by GOD — not opinions.

Still healing.
Still becoming. ✨🖤

✨ TALENT TUESDAY ✨

"Your gifts will make room for you.” — Proverbs 18:16
But the real flex? When your gifts make room for EACH OTHER. 👏🏾🔥

Lemme talk MY talk today…

Because we live in a time where beef go viral faster than brilliance.
Where folks swear they gotta “match energy,” be petty, be a mean girl,
or give full “bad bitch performance art” just to get ahead —
like being a real, grounded, authentic Black woman ain’t STILL the blueprint.

Where “matching energy” gets treated like a personality trait,
mean-girl aesthetic is a whole brand,
and dragging folks is a sport people do for clout.
Where tearing down Black trailblazers is somehow the new hobby.

And y’all see it —
Katt Williams on Club Shay Shay blowing up the whole comedy ecosystem…
Shows like Baddies where all we see is Black women scrapping and flipping furniture
instead of building, growing, or shining TOGETHER.

But TODAY?
Nah.
I’m celebrating something different.
Something rare.
Something sacred.
Something God actually smiles on.

“How good and pleasant it is when sisters dwell together in unity.” — Psalm 133:1

So on this Talent Tuesday, I’m giving flowers to my founding sisters —
the women who built Face Off Theatre with me from the ground UP.

Over, above, and personal ambition.
Above ego.
No competition.
No “I’m the main character.”
Just purpose, passion, prayer, and partnership.

We didn’t just make plays…
We made SPACE.
We made a LEGACY.
We made something that stood the test of time
because we moved how God intended:

“Two are better than one… for if one falls, the other can lift her up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9–10

These women STAYED ten toes down.
Held vision when it got heavy.
Created when the funds were funny.
Stayed when life was life-ing.
And poured into something bigger than all of us individually.

Face Off Theatre is STILL standing because we did something RARE in this era:
✨ We stayed aligned.
✨ We stayed rooted.
✨ We stayed connected.
✨ We stayed SISTERS.

We chose collaboration over chaos.
Purpose over pettiness.
Legacy over likes.

My sisters are:
🔥 trailblazers
🔥 history makers
🔥 legacy builders
🔥 culture shifters
🔥 the STANDARD

And let me be VERY clear —
Your gifts WILL make room for you…
but the room get WAY bigger when you bring your sisters with you.

Happy Talent Tuesday.
Today I celebrate US —
The kind of Black woman collaboration they don’t show on TV
(because it don’t cause drama)…
but it changes communities, heals generations, and honors God. 🖤🎭✨
