Every creation I craft holds a piece of my journey. Through the highs and lows, each experience sharpens my skills and fuels this machine. While amplification reinforces the message in some stories, my core beliefs and the identity that comes through in my work are shaped by the environment I grew up in. Yet, I am no longer defined by that environment. Now, I am defined by my decisions. I am committed to using my talents to create, shape, and convey our stories because they deserve visibility and action. Remember, you don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.
