One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled all around the U. S and sold zines and have just really invested in this passion of mine. I print and fund the magazine and this is practically a non profit that I have fueled and involve the community
I happen to be in at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you’re feeling alone and hopeless and compare yourself to others, it’s important to know that No body has it figured out. We are all one. We must empathize more. Compassion is a dying art. Hell, art is a dying art.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my energy and vibes and that is propelled by positive mantras I try to maintain. I am authentic and easy going. Im open minded and enjoy creating with people. I like to inspire and become inspired through personal and social interactions
