“So what do you do?”

(That’s always the question, right? Personally, I prefer asking, ‘What are your passions?’ It gets to way more interesting conversations.)

I do a lot. Some would even say I do too much. Long story short, I’m a wearer of many hats, both literally & figuratively. I aim to mirror and magnetize communities, providing spaces for people to feel seen, inspired, and cherished.

As a creative strategist, I explore my passion for storytelling & examining humanity. As a DJ, I unpack my love for music and history - taking listeners on a journey across the diaspora.

I let my passions lead the way and I’m an avid believer that hobbies are the lifeblood of a creative life - one rooted in curiosity rather than fear - and I try to cultivate and honor the activities and rituals that fill up my cup and allow me to bring my distinct perspective to the different areas of my career.

As such, when I’m not behind a laptop or turntables you can find me on the move running, cycling, and hiking, or laying in a hammock reading essays and writing journal entries. So if you don’t want to talk shop, feel free to ask me about any of those too. Let’s connect.

Hella Nice 2-Year Anniversary Party

We’re celebrating TWO whole years of our monthly dance party at Easy Does It, Hella Nice! It’s been an honor to DJ with Quicktastic & Shampain Wishes and see so many beautiful souls on the dance floor every month & we’re geeked to cap year ✌🏾 of making things shake with our dear friends over at Easy Does It.

SO, we’re kicking off year 3️⃣ with a bang from 10PM-2AM. NO COVER, as always. Hella nice vibes all the way through. We start off smooth and gradually ramp things up when the disco ball turns on at 11. Oh yeah, and Easy Does It has one the best wine programs for across the entire Chicago bar landscape so the pours are immaculate too.
