  • Where Creativity Meets Sustainability

    When I first moved to Arizona in 2013, I was on a mission to bring together cultural events that celebrated Black voices and experiences in the Southwest. My passion for building community fueled these events, where art, culture, and history came together, creating a powerful platform for self-expression and collective healing.

  • Paint and Passion Collide

    In 2017, I decided to take my love for art and community a step further by opening Your Art Party, a paint-and-sip studio that proudly employed four Black women artists. It wasn’t just a business; it was a celebration of Black women’s creativity and entrepreneurship. The studio became a lively space where people could unwind, express themselves, and connect with others in a supportive and fun environment.

  • Amplifying Black Women’s Voices

    In 2018, I co-founded Venus Clapback, a Phoenix-based podcast with another Southern woman, where we focused on the experiences of Black women in the Southwest. This podcast was our way of sharing our unique perspectives, challenging stereotypes, and amplifying the voices of Black women in a region where our stories often go unheard.

  • From Paintbrush to Pixels

    When the pandemic hit in 2020, I pivoted to digital illustration and launched MuseTease Prints, an online platform where I could continue creating despite the challenges. Through MuseTease, I explored themes of identity, empowerment, and beauty, offering apparel, art, and home goods that resonated with a global audience.

  • The Culmination Of A Creative Journey

    By 2022, I brought everything together with Centered.PHX, a storytelling experience that puts the Black experience front and center. This project is the culmination of my journey as an artist, curator, and storyteller, weaving together all the elements that have driven my work over the years.

  • A Legacy of Creativity and Community

    Each step in my journey from Rejected Thrifts to Centered.PHX has combined to create what I call the Muse Affect: a commitment to creativity, community, and the power of storytelling that leaves a lasting impact.
