Dear Beni

👀 snapshots from ‘s recent show . For a divided culture like ours, her work awakens an acute curiosity that is wonderfully productive. She does this gently, not forcefully. My favorite piece is the last one shown...because there is so much to ponder and discover. What do the hidden letters spell? What do they mean? What history is the artist referencing? What is she expressing? This piece, this show, Faith’s work...all rich with opportunity to ❤️⁠

If you’ve ever tried to be a solopreneur, you can empathize with the fact that social media can be draining. It easily becomes an overwhelming chore that consumes you, rules you (assuming you hold onto your integrity and insist on publishing quality over quantity). I’ve decided to just post when I feel like it. When I’m particularly excited to share. Nuts to the algorithm. Nuts to the 9 box. The reality is- 99% of my time is poured into my product. The making of it. The producing. The sourcing. The quality. The innovation. The prototyping. It absorbs almost all of my time.

I know this is the right choice. Because at the end of the day, the product, and the joy it delivers, is what really matters. I wish I could share more here. I really do. There’s a lot to say and discuss. There’s inspiration and process that I’d love to share more regularly. But I’m just one person with limits. I don’t have a team. I don’t have a bottomless budget. One day, I hope to share more. Until then, thank you so much for your patience. For your support. For sticking with me. For believing in me. It would be hard to carry on without you.

Happy weekend, you have earned it 💪 Now stop to notice the small details all around you…like the fun rhythm that emerges when you repeat “Yeek Da Sneak”. Sometimes, it’s the smallest of details that can bring so much joy, but you don’t notice unless you’re looking for them ❤️
