Chill Vibes

😢 Shed hella tears this morning. Bird left us to be with Screw! The last time we were together a couple weeks ago… bro said “can we pray real quick?” We prayed, in my truck, and he said “God got his hands on this, Chill we gon’ make this movie!” Before we departed he said, with the deepest conviction, “Screw Love”
I came home that day and told my wife how much it meant to me that bro prayed with me over this hybrid Screw project I’ve been working so tirelessly own.

He was so genuinely happy to see where things were. We had literally just restored hrs. of never seen before footage of Screw & SUC stuff from over 30 yrs. ago. The first clip is never before seen footage that he was really proud of Screw basically saying they’d be shooting a movie.

Bird, thank you for being a light & stewarding me to carry this on. The world will see the moments you captured sooner than later, and you will be listed on that movie screen.

Please keep his family & friends in your prayers. I’m shook. 🥺💔🕊️

👩🏾‍🎓🎉 Congratulations to our intern @ IYO for the past 90 Days. She’s officially graduates from Radio/Television/Film program Cum Laude and is walking across the stage today!!!

The team & I surprised her on her last day of internship with a small token! We had already given her a scholarship to help with her graduation cost, but her work ethic was so strong during internship I offered her a job full time job — she accepted and starts next week!!! Yall shower Miyhia with love in the comments… Real Black Girl Magic 🪄 WELCOME TO THE FAMILY • See you at work! 🤞🏾🎥🍿

If you can’t walk like it before you got it,
you don’t deserve it when you get it.

Gratitude family for featuring me in the new Zine /// Sometimes I’m so focused on the community work I forget to Zoom out and just pat myself on the back... Blessed to have collaborators that give you that pat and your flowers. Bruh, still kind of wild that there’s a whole spread on me in an adidas magazine… Wow God Wow! Blessed to have been all around the globe telling visual stories for the brand with 3-Stripes nearly a decade now.

Thank you to my family that’s been boots on the ground helping pull these productions together your commitment doesn’t go unseen. Ayesha, Hermela, Daniel, Tamika, Ephraim, Melissa, Zach and all the Portland fam 🙏🏾 Special thx to big bro for giving me my first official 3 Stripes opportunity! Can wait to share visuals releasing this year and all the ones brewing in the pipeline! ///
