“So what do you do?”

(That’s always the question, right? Personally, I prefer asking, ‘What are your passions?’ and letting that lead the way.)

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 @ Easy Does It

Right after Creative Ladder I’ll be zipping up north to Logan Square to DJ my monthly residency with my homies Quicktastic and Shampain Wishes. As a trio we go by the name Hella Nice where we play R&B, hip-hop, and house that’ll have you dancing all night long. We start off smooth and gradually ramp things up whtn 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.
