From Curacao, with Love!

 

Curacao was never on my radar before this trip. 

It is now.

Can't wait to return and really delve into the culture the island has to offer.

Healing; A collection of art by Deon Wilkins

I had to make sure I made it out to see my girl Deon's latest art exhibit, 'Healing', before it closed, and I'm so happy I did. The exhibit featured art highlighting strong black figures in different stages/modes of healing, as well as touching tributes to people that had passed in Wilkin's life. We met during a creative consulting gig with a black woman owned and backed brand earlier this year. She is an extremely talented artist and the exhibit really inspired me to start creating using different mediums again. 

Check her out on instagram @deonwildd to check out more of her work.

Musings: 10/16/2022

 if you would've told me at the beginning of the year that I'd make it to Africa before the end of the year I probably wouldn't have believed you

and here I am on my second week in Kenya

life is funny like that

sometimes the plans we have for ourselves aren't big enough

I'm extremely blessed and grateful to be able to have this experience

and I will treasure it forever

I went on safari and had a private lunch while still on the park grounds,

- a herd of zebras less than a mile away.

I took a jet to watamu just to visit the beach and stayed at the most 

beautiful villa I've ever been to in my life.

I partied in nairobi. hard.

I had exhilarating conversations. 

epiphanies.

and made lasting memories that will stay with me until the day I leave this earth.

grateful,

and abundantly blessed. 

 

brb.
