Let’s Do This

It’s crazy to me how much time has passed since this mission began and I had all this motivation to share my story through creation. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned, but for all the right reasons and for all the necessary lessons to be learned. There have been moments where I questioned giving up on this project that means so much to me. However, I’m determined to follow through with my original intentions of this brand, and share the journey of finding peace through art and community, including both the highs and the lows. The path is never perfect, so I question what the point is of having to hide the truth of what it really means to move forward. The beauty resides in the raw fight of every day life and my hopes are that speaking my truth allows others to get another chance at life too. Maybe, if we can normalize that it’s truly okay to not be okay, our battles won’t have to feel like they must be fought on our own. We can come together in unity, leaning on the fact that there is more out there to see, do, love, enjoy, laugh at, cry about, and no matter what, more reasons to keep going. I am glad I did.

With all that being said, here’s a little preview of what’s to come: big news for the upcoming fall, I will be going back to school at the Golisano Institute for Business and Entrepreneurship. I am so excited for this adventure, as it’s a great opportunity to evolve my brand and work towards the ultimate goal of opening a creative arts wellness studio in Rochester. Art has giving me so much and I wouldn’t be here to continue telling my story without it.

So, the grind begins again but in a new way, rooted in purpose, precense, and possibility. I am so grateful for this chance to be a part of something so special, with an open mind to where it could lead and an open heart of who I will cross paths with. Although I have ideas of where I want things to go, I am sincerely committed and ready to really get this party started, no matter who ends up following along. The goal isn’t to an acquire an audience for the sake of the ego and attention, but rather to start a personal movement of healing and growth that could possibly benefit others and offer light amongst universal sufferings. I’m not afraid to say I’m proud of how far I have come, and I can’t wait for what’s next. Let’s do this, together.
