“As you enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.”
- Toni Morrison
The Foundation.
I personally do not adhere to the self made concept. The only thing that is truly “self made” is the work we put in and honoring our ability to manifest what we set out to do. We are all connected in someway shape or form; someone is dropping a crumb for an idea for you to flesh out or opening a door for you…..and even your eyes to what might be possible.
The Architects.
This is dedicated to remarkable creatives I’ve had the pleasure to work and learn from to those who I one day wish to work with one day. Also included are creatives who’ve left behind remarkable legacies for the next generation to uphold. In all fairness to stay anchored in this business it is critical to remain humble, grateful, and surround yourself with those who are not only serious about their craft but are also equally grounded.
Hold space for those who allow you to bring the best version of you to the table.
