Hey Y’all!

I’m from St. Louis, MO and now I live in Washington, DC.

I am a fairly new traveler. I have always explored unknown spaces but am more recently going to see the world. my parents think I travel too much. Lol.

I am a music educator, musician, and collaborator! I am kind, funny and love to share energy with beautiful people. All in all, I am really best at being friendly and making friends feel safe in my world. I hope to meet interesting people who have opinions on politics, music, art, education, sacred sexuality, and encourage each other's journey. Aquarius (sun), Aquarius (moon), Virgo (rising).

I am a black man with loc’d hair. I am a vegetarian and I love rooms full of plants and bright colors. I love books about futurism, the evolution of humans, and homosexuality in South America and Africa. I rarely watch TV but when I do, watch Planet Earth, Atlanta, Bob’s Burgers, Steven Universe, and Broad City.

I enjoy creative spaces. A good day would be me in the room with others who are writing music, painting, cooking collard greens, taking longer than normal hugs, laughing loudly, drinking slowly, as the afternoon sun beams into the window.

Come all who want to have human connection and enjoy exploring our planet!
