[Image Description:
Start. Here are two photos with aerial views of rows and stacks of bookmarks that have a black base coat and background with individual colors drawn on each bookmark. The flower chosen is a rose; drawn with abstract line work. A swirl or spiral for the rose head, a single line for the stem, and petals with leaves that are drawn to show they have fallen off the core flower. This photoshoot took place in bed; where most of these pieces were painted; forev a bed of roses. Stop.]

In my "soft art auntie" era 🩷🖤🤍 . . My "art studio" is my bed and two small folding tables ✨ ️And all my photoshoots? My phone and amazing lighting 🤌🏾⚘️ . . I cherish art, fashion, music, and community; they save my life ✨️
When I create or intentionally pour into a project, I always dress for the occasion; even if I'm in bed, even if I'm in pain, even if I have panic attacks, even if I have seizures, even if I'm exhausted. It took me decades to cultivate this ease, this calm, this peace, this energy, this mindset, this awareness, this vibe. ⚘️ . . Energy, commitment, balance, and authenticity matter. So does showing up.
That takes alot as a person, especially someone disabled in general. I have a disability called sickle cell anemia, but that doesnt mean I'm incapable ✨️ As I learn how to care for myself; I learn to have immense care for others as well. My expressiveness is a culmination of those lessons, those decades of balancing rest with everything else that autoimmune or chronic illness brings to the table ⚘️ . . Even though I'm constantly grieving and processing what the sumation of loss + mending can make; joy is still generated, love is still generated, gratitude is still generated, goodness is still generated, care is still generated, nourishment is still generated ✨️ I enjoy doing this through writing, photography, videography, fashion, chromotherapy, music, movement, and bonding through shared experiences ⚘️ #disabilityawarenessmonth . #coolestjobever #softauntieera #prettyinpink #bedrest #braveyoungwomanandallherflowers

I so deeply enjoyed my time at the All Abilities Fair, thank you thank you thank you for having me 💕😭
"Sickle Cell Anemia 🐞 Bringing about a timeless heritage 💛 Third pop-art installation / first official booth of the season focused specifically on Sickle Cell Anemia at a community event called the All Abilities Fair (showing both our Timeless + new Hertiage line) --October 18th 2025.
"The legacies we lead (through various footprints, blueprints, collaborative innovation, expansive conversation, and building of community care + community efforts) are timeless; learning about Sickle Cell Anemia (through seminars, galas, summits, Q&As, interviews, workshops, sit-ins, art shows, gallery settings. Podcasts, magazines, news articles, prime time cable) should be timeless too."
