"I'm a person who enjoys seeing people together, creating, innovating and definitely winning at life all the while having a good time. In short, that probably is one of my main driving passions in life. I do my best at spreading positive energy throughout my life. None of us are perfect. My mission is to unite and above all heal. We all need a bit more Love in our lives. I try and do my part by organizing events."

"It's to create a space for artists, mainly the African diaspora, where they can share their art openly with people from their neighborhood, Lavapies."

"Smokie Norful- I need you now. The whole song tho."
If I never needed you before
To show up and restore
All of the faith that I let slip
While I was yet searching the world for more
The truest friend I have indeed
You are my best friend I know in me
I stretch my hands to thee
Come rescue me
I need you right away
The agony of being alone
Fear of doing things on my own
The test and trials that come to make me strong
The feelings of guilt, hurt, shame and defeat
The waves of trials that beat upon me
But to know, Lord, that in you I've got victory
Who are you listening to in your headphones?
"My EP #thekillahtape coming out soon!"
