Adrian Adel. Phenomenal Photographer. Powerhouse Singer. Extraordinary Mother. One of the realest, most outstanding humans I ever had the privilege of knowing.

I first met Adrian back in 2008, shortly after returning to Portland from Los Angeles. She was one of the first photographers I shot with. And I was very vocal about her being the best and my favorite. Adrian had a way of making you feel truly seen. The way many of her favorite shots of me were close ups was not lost on me. She’d gush over my features, bone structure and how they inspired her. It made me feel special, like her lens wasn’t just documenting— it was celebrating.

I’m heartbroken to hear of her passing, but grateful to have been part of her creative journey. Adrian’s genius was unparalleled, and her light lives on in her body of work, the creatives she’s inspired, and most of all, in her pride & joy: her son.

In her honor, the Go Fund Me link to support her son during this time is in my bio. And may we all remember her art, her energy, her passion, and the way she lifted everyone who stood in her light and in front of her lens. 🌹🕊️🤍

Candids, culture, and a reminder to tell your rich friends about my art stuff

I recently wrote about one of my faves, Lorna Simpson, and her incredible relationship with “the process.” Funny how life imitates art because spotting her work in a new spot I dined at a week later invigorated a special part of my brain. I’m still riding that high. Anyway, read more on Homegirl World.

Endings hold wisdom. Beginnings hold promise. And in between, there’s the beautiful mess of editing—taking stock of what works, cutting what no longer gives, and making space for what’s next.

Every end, every start, every edit. It’s all a part of the story. Homegirl World is where the plot thickens. Subscribe via link in bio.

Throwback to last year, wandering the city like the main character I am, eating like I don’t pay bills, and pretending a spa day would cleanse my soul. 💅🏾✨

New York: where even the pigeons are cooler than me, but at least I looked good and my hair was cute. Swipe for the chaos. 🖤

Happy Birthday to Every Woman, Chaka Khan!

Being born Black, American, and in female form with a penchant for people pleasing, I’ve undoubtedly crashed and burned more times than I can count.

For the last two years, therapy has provided me many tools, practices, and mindset shifts to challenge the internal setting that avoids conflict or confrontation at all costs. Basically: I be reacting to s**t different. ✨

For instance, instead of submitting to fear, I question its validity. There’s no shortage of “face your fears” or “do it scared” type of stuff out there. And I would see that and think “ok yeah, but HOW?!” Nobody wants to admit how loud and mentally strong fear actually is. But I’ve learned fear is basically a symptom so I always question it. I interrogate my fears to see if they are even real. I make them small, I make them get to the point and step aside. Once I’ve stripped fear of its confidence, I can redirect it to my ability. I’m not exactly fearless, just no longer ruled by it.

French fries, shoes, and manicures are great ways to love yourself but standing up for myself, sometimes even to myself, is top shelf, quality self care.

Thank you for seeing us!

Every week for the better half of a decade, I’ve said some version of “I’ve got to get my s**t together” yes, even in a pandemic. Because to me, my s**t is the stuff that makes me unique. My mentality around what it means to get one’s s**t together is what has shifted. I don’t have the time, energy, or desire to push myself to productivity perfection.
But getting my s**t together has included two things:

1. being compassionate
2. being consistent

The balance between compassion and consistency is intention. Intention is the glue. Knowing why you want something will keep you motivated when you get stuck on how to do something.

Get clear and plan. Minor details are like a slow leak to productivity, energy, and motivation. Plan the little things ‘out the way’ so you can make space for big ideas and your keep personal promises because that, my dear, is self care.

It gets real hard to maintain the narrative that life lacks value, when you’re constantly surviving the unimaginable. When you’ve already experienced (and survived) all that you’re afraid of, what else is left to fear?

Like a human mood ring, I think therefore I am when it comes to color. I’ll be inspired by a tone and life around me sort of mimics the color I feel. On the surface I am simply green, calm and peaceful. But one glance beneath the surface and you’ll see I am rich like emerald green; deep, aware, inquisitive, and interested.

What color is your mood ring?
