Capabilities

Art and Creativity

As a trans-disciplinary artist, I leverage multimedia to challenge oppressive narratives and amplify truths rooted in human value and personal growth. Through mediums like paint, film, and mindfulness arts, I foster resilience and document stories of defiance and inspiration.

I integrate art and writing to teach mental and emotional well-being, exemplified in the ExhilaFit® Multi-Aspect Mindfulness Meditation M.A.P curriculum. My own journey, shaped by adversity and triumph, drives my mission to uplift others. Witnessing suffering and substance abuse in my childhood taught me the transformative power of creativity in navigating life’s hurdles.

Becoming a counselor deepened my understanding of the connection between adversity and personal growth. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to find their voice and embrace their potential. My diverse skills across art, writing, filmmaking, and business allow me to approach projects with innovation and leadership.

Ultimately, my artistic journey is rooted in a commitment to social change and empowerment. I strive to encourage others to overcome obstacles, expand their perspectives, and make positive impacts in their lives and communities.

Art Highlight: Unsung Hero's

Unsung Hero’s

Unsung Hero’s is a curated collection that taps into this inherent strength in these portraits meant to ignite curiosity about remarkable individuals.

Their transformative impact on communities, families, and societal progress resonates deeply. These individuals are advocates, spreading messages of love, hope, and empathy, fostering unity to uplift ideals such as equality, human rights, freedom, and dignity.

Each portrait’s commentary unveils intricate narratives, forging connections that transcend time.

Colin Kaepernick gained national attention by taking a knee during the National Anthem, shedding light on systemic human rights issues faced by black and brown Americans. While football is a beloved American pastime, the disparity in treatment between players and law enforcement contradicts the ideals of a truly free and equal society that civil rights leaders envisioned. Kaepernick's silent protest aimed to amplify the voices of the marginalized, emphasizing the need for collective listening and support. Today, engaged in media, publishing, and his nonprofit, "The Colin Kaepernick Foundation," he continues to empower Black and Brown youth, striving to create positive change in the face of inequality and injustice.
Julian Assange is wrongly imprisoned for reporting on a war crime which he disseminated factual information after it was shared via a whistleblower. Our press is not free but wrong doers with enough means are free from the press.
Snowden was exiled because he whistle blew about national privacy concerns re: the limitless unconstitutional surveillance of civilians. On Sept 2, 2020 a Fed court ruled in US v. Moalin, that the U.S. intelligence agency's mass surveillance program exposed was illegal.
