I’ve been a Getty Images creative contributor with the Flickr Collection for a couple of years now and it has been a profitable enjoyable experience. Many times since 2008 I have posted about my “need” to submit an application to become a regular creative Getty Images contributor. I took the little quiz way back when and […]
Back in the fall while in NY for fashion week, I along with my homegirl Asia Willis had plans to attend several shows in what’s known as “The Box” at Lincoln Center. The Box is where all of the presentations were held. In case you don’t know, a [fashion] presentation is where the models are […]

If you ain’t heard (yes, I said ain’t), I’m presenting at volume 8 of Pecha Kucha Night Detroit on April 14th at the Arab American National Museum. Part of the process is to submit a short bio 3-4 sentences, which I find hard because a) I hate writing/describing myself and b) my life is too big […]
After the last season of America’s Next Top Model, I said that I was no longer gonna watch the show. The show that I used to love. I got sick of the over the top challenges, the colorism issues between the Black girls, the endless company and product plugging etc. It just became too much. […]
I went, I saw, I shot, I got into a few fights, I got tired, I got recognized, I am back home. My Mercedes Benz Fashion Week experience is over and I’m happy with how things went the second time around overall. Hopefully, you followed my journey on Facebook or Twitter and saw some of […]
