“A simple fragment of thought that leads to harmony within the spirit,
Peace is more than an agreement with the people of the world, but a unity within your own.
A constant hunt for the reminder that an accord with yourself is best done inside, we’re all looking for that piece to find.
“And she was mesmerizing.
As she moved liked nobody was watching, that was hardly the case.
Stealing what was already given to her, my attention was next to go.
She inspired me. She taught me. She tested me.
And I was ok with that…”

A note to all the women in my life, friends and family, I appreciate you in more ways than one.
Keep being proud. Keep being impactful. Keep being strong. Keep dancing.
The second installment and another successful showing from Square 1 Phx, “Vibes & Verbs” not only gave us exactly what we were looking for in the poetry portion of the series, but shows us the progression of how the experience is growing.
Branching into event production with a group of other creatives assembling a group called Square 1, “Vibes & Verbs” was Part 2 of a 3 part series of artistic and creative experiences happening at MonOrchid Gallery in downtown Phoenix and we can’t wait to get ready for the next one. Setting the vibe and focused on the poetry and literary portion of the series, the Director of Literary Arts Jay Tatum (@unflawedsoul) took the reigns of hosting this time around and did a good job in putting together a colorful and Afropunk themed environment for everyone to play into. Alongside the other team members of Square 1 PHX Tatiana Young, Brandon Greer, and Felicia Gaines, it turned out to be another great showing that surpassed everyone’s expectations…
There, in solitude, you have a chance to collect.
Collect your thoughts.
Collect your emotions.
Collect your self.
A dream come true in more ways than one, “Daydreaming at Night” was not only a huge success to everyone eye’s that attended, but it was the beginning of a creative experience that is certainly on the move.
Branching into event production with a group of other creatives assembling a group called Square 1, “Daydreaming at Night” was Part 1 of a 3 part series of artistic and creative experiences that are going to be happening at MonOrchid Gallery in downtown Phoenix throughout the year.
Easily one the best showings at Phoenix Fashion Weeks annual Spring into Style Show, this year I was glad to see the stylists accept their challenge and even travel passed it. Cutting new shapes and putting together collections that expanded the idea of their assigned challenge, every show has something special to takeaway from it.
If you haven’t caught wind of what happened over this past weekend, Phoenix Fashion Week had its Annual Spring into Style Fashion Show and it was a good reason to go out and show your style. Absolutely one of their best shows yet, I’ll get into my thoughts on that a little later.
For now, let’s get into how I let MY style show at the fashionable event and took from multiple influences to piece together an outfit dripping with My Boy B charisma. A depiction of the character I like my style to exude.
A showcase and creative experience that sets the stage for highlighted acts of visual art, poetry performances, and fashion design. A show that connects the local community of artists and represents the root of all great ideas.
Ambitious and better than before, the Square 1 art showcase is back and starting 2016 with a brand new plan. Initiating an entire series of shows happening at the popular Downtown Phoenix venue, MonOrchid Gallery we have the opportunity to not only bring you one show throughout the year, but three! Starting off with a featured spotlight on the Visual Artists and the talent they bring, this is turning into a great way to start things off and bring you to a great experience… Beginning at Square 1.
Enjoying the warm days and the cool nights happening now in Phoenix, this small glimpse of springtime is only here for the moment before the heat waves and haboobs come rolling through, so make sure go out and play a little. As of late, I’ve been on the move putting the pieces back together for my series of art and fashion shows called Square 1 (which you’ll hear more about very soon *hint hint*), and my days off starting to be anything but “off.” Meeting with other team members, directors, artists, potential sponsors, I have to dress the part for multiple occasions.
I just wanna make cool stuff with cool people.
The type of people who like to notice things.
