Before I hop of this thang (Hiatus)...Still a lot I haven’t posted from #India 😥 The place that gave me thee most challenges (maybe). I got locked out my Airbnb at 3am due to the doorman sleeping 😴. Fined for staying too long at the #TajMahal. Couldn’t get a ride/use WiFi because 1. I was a tourist, 2. Colorism. (If you know, you know) Vendors/Host would be surprised & hesitant when I was spending money with them, or give me the better bargain compared to fair skinned fellows (I’m not complaining but was confusing lol). Oh and the last pic, my phone was doing some mad trippy tings. Felt this place prepared for Vietnam tho. (I’ve shed a few in both 😭) Much love to all the beautiful people I’ve met, and shared moments with. Blessed to say all my travels have been pretty epic. Even the challenging ones are embellishing. #Solo #BlackMan #Travels #Growth #Gratitude #Post (at Global Vipassana Pagoda, Gorai, Mumbai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCSytf-FGyU/?igshid=1rptjzpz7yvca

“I AM BLACK MAN...I Build...I don’t tear down other Black Men or Black Women!...I have felt the pain of being torn down and I have decided I will be deliberate about building others!” Though I should bring it back since it faded. Most of the homies tagged me but if you a homie and haven’t done this, I’d say give a try, say out loud as an affirmation. But y’all see me and my girls 😊💐#girlDad #parentchild Also Thank You @diosablooms for these babies #FlowerTherapy #Solidarity #Flowers #PlantTherapy (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7AsLwFthu/?igshid=5ir80yi4eu2z

Man don’t y’all know if you kill off good germs then bad germs come back stronger...eat well. Listen to Earth. “Let thy food be thy medicine” it’s simple. Meat, sugar, etc. just adds to aggression and fear. Which equates us not giving hugs. #plantbased #plantsequallove https://www.instagram.com/p/CAuNgmAFpjs/?igshid=fw3ecfhymhuj

Took a stroll down quarantine lane... 16 & 17 yr old Chris or should I say C^2 😩😂 I went from playing football and bad rap songs to ballet, john mayer and a lil screamo. I was pretty cool lol. #backintheday #untiltomorrow Moving to Sacramento really kept me out of trouble. (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-oc7YSnSag/?igshid=13dwuz3kk9re5

Some day I will post in real time 😅. But this is how I left Vietnam. Been thinking about y’all lately and all the energy that was exchanged. It’s not always about the places you visit. Many times it’s the people in the spaces that influence how you feel. I hope that #HouseDance will be as widely seen as #BreakDance. Thank you Groovy for leading and beautiful class and cypher. #LadyoftheHouse (at Hanoi, Vietnam) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9hSTHnnUCH/?igshid=17p2jy684uja0

Serving #TravelWarrior face. Carnaval was well deserved this year after mishaps in Vietnam, that I’ll prob re-explain 6 months from now in some indirect post 🥴. Swipe next....I’ve walked past this wallwork many of the 4xs I’ve been here and never cared for it until returning from #TET / #NewYears - #YearoftheRat. And it shows my exact sentiments of growing out of playing with toys around the age of 12ish. I love semblance of symbols. I know one of you mystic brujas gotta thesis for this. So dm me lol. #SerialPost from a #SerialTraveler (at Lapa, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9N2B-6HxHq/?igshid=1726s9qfjstza

Wherever you may chance to be, Where you may roam, Far away in foreign lands, Or just home sweet home It always gives you pleasure, It makes your heart strings hum, Just to hear the words of cheer, “I see you’ve traveled some” 🌞🙆🏾‍♂️🌝🏁 #Vietnam #Temples #Champa #Cham 📷: @nes.vural (at My Son Ancient Cham City) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WEzYAHVUH/?igshid=1lt6n8qx0ps8m

Dear Pops, I’ve survived Nam too. This time everything is gonna change for the better. I see you smiling. I used to think you didn’t deserve to take pride in me. As I get older I understand the circumstances rendered were not of choice, but unjust. And that everyone deserves peace....a beacon of light.

Never felt the same after January 2019. This was how this year started for me. With the children of the Ari Tribe in Southern Ethiopia. #YearofGrowth (at Jinka - Omo Valley, Ethiopia.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wDImGlYyA/?igshid=umwvhqjrpeyp

At 12 on 12/29 I’ll be here 29 yrs on the plane 🪐 Past 3 yrs I’ve treated this day as a day of reflection and use nearly the whole new year to celebrate 🎉🙃 Pretty sure I’ll be annoying to some of y’all. You know how I celebrate 💺😬🛩 Just last month I decided to celebrate by stopping by the #BanksyAshram in Amsterdam. So I guess I’ll keep this trend going. Anytime the clock hits 12:29 I’ll prob say “It’s my birthday” lol why wait a whole year. #goat #birthdaywishes #spoiled #saturnreturn #capricornsun #exitthroughthegiftshop (at Moco Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6pbQDKFuWR/?igshid=1udjghy516ma1

Now Playing “Eclosure” by Naturboy Flako 🌿🧑🏾‍🦱 The artwork from that album mimics this type of scenery. I was alone on this trail until I saw @_bbgomes and her daughter. She led me to some pretty sick views I wouldn’t have seen due to fear. Message to my people...life is on the other side of your fears. On this path I acquired a few quartz crystals and Bruna handed me this huge black feather. #CreateyourownRetreat #Natureboy #foresttherapy (at Babilônia, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5kB4uVFRgN/?igshid=jdpe2fm1eym6

In the forest there’s an infinite network of knowledge. In there is an unspoken language. One that’s felt and unheard. That message was “You still don’t know how to swim, foo.” 🥴 somebody help me. Who down for lessons? In warm water only tho.. #natureboy #oshun #oxum (at Trinidad, Cuba) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eU8tgFbYt/?igshid=1uswdakt6l6jt

Fellas, you ever have a girl put a flower in yo hair? Beware these girls got game. • It’s been since I’ve posted. But here’s something I’m grateful for and that’s being able to experience life like I’ve never imagined. Everyday is Holiday. #gratidão (at Praia Do Flamengo, Salvador) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dlvOfljWA/?igshid=nkney2socopg

Amazing class by @leozin.laureano 🙌🏾 ...as for my attempts 🥴 swipe all the way to see me give it one last shot. • • • @millamourao Obrigado a ambos por não se sentirem deslocados sem o português.
