I was deeply honored to be a featured artist at the 25th Annual @uncfchicago Black & White Gala—an unforgettable evening where one of my original paintings was presented to Gala Chair @sherinaedwards in recognition of her powerful leadership and unwavering commitment to education.

Cheers to raising over $1 million for student scholarships! 💫

Congratulations to this year’s honorees, @arielinvestments and Nadia Rawlinson, and heartfelt thanks to the incredible UNCF team for including me in such a meaningful celebration—for the second year in a row. 🫶🏿

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, but a wonderful thing to invest in.™

Special shoutout to my mom, who developed the painting technique behind this piece. My art assistant 🥰

Thank you @traceyvbell for allowing me to seat at your table. You had me laughing all night!

Where did the time go? I went back to Northwestern University Kellogg for my 5-year MBA reunion—and what a joy it was to create new memories, reflect on the growth, and reconnect with friends who’ve become family. Cohort 118

Northwestern was a childhood dream come true. Just a little girl from Zimbabwe, growing up in Evanston, who pushed through and made it happen. Grateful for the journey—and ready to chase the next big dream.

Today’s Reflection & Art Process
Happy Resurrection Sunday & Happy Heavenly Birthday, Pastor Hill! @johndacoach51

Last year, I had the honor of creating an art commission of Pastor Hill for his family. The painting was displayed at his homegoing service—a moment I sadly missed because I was in Italy—but yesterday, I finally got to see the beautifully framed piece in person for the first time.

I served under Pastor Hill’s leadership for 10 years as part of the Executive Team Ministry alongside Ms. Gwen at @newlifesoutheast @pastorhannah . Pastor Hill was the embodiment of kindness, humility, and excellence. A true servant leader in every sense.

It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to paint someone who poured so much into others. How special that his birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year—a perfect reminder of the hope, legacy, and love he left behind.

💜Huge thanks to @northwesternu for the opportunity be a part of this year’s True Northwestern Dialogue: Social Justice & Inclusion with 2,400 incoming freshmen!

It was exciting to see my vision come to life as we painted on two large paint-by-number boards, which we combined at the end to create one masterpiece. Each student took home a mini version of the artwork and wrote reflections for the upcoming year. We did this three times in one day! 🎨😅

Special shoutout to Val for creating this opportunity, the Northwestern PAs, @blountben and to my resident Evanston friends @coachneeknice and @_bad_as_i_wanna_be_ for their content ideas.

🤯What a week! Theme song, “They not like us, they not like us”!

🥹Did you know women only represent 13% of gallery artists in North America and Europe?

🎨Well @womensliveartiststudio is on a mission to help women artists thrive in a normally male dominated industry. We went to The Hampton Fine Art Fair and exhibited the artwork of 11 women artists from Chicago.

🖼️ @hamptonsfineartfair is an international art fair that had 150 art exhibitors and 13,000 guests over 4 days.

🔨 Sharing some behind the scenes footage so you see some of the handwork that goes into producing a show.

I’ve been rewatching this video for months, as a reminder of what’s to come…

@pastorhannah has spoken over me many times, but this is the one!

I had just gotten back from Essence Festival in New Orleans where I had a booth for my artwork and was still getting my MBA from Northwestern Kellogg… I was drained.

I use this video as a reminder… delay doesn’t mean denied.

💙 Thank you @kmgdepaul for inviting me to speak on a panel for the 15th Annual Symposium “The Future is Here: Next Generation Marketing”. As a DePaul Alumna, it’s an honor having Prof. Zafar, my undergrad Professor reach out and request I speak to his MBA students for a second time.
🎤 I got to talk about one of my favorite topics Beauty & Fashion

👋🏿My first live auction
🌹I did a live painting at the @orchard_village 37th Star Ruby Blossom Gala (Orchard Village empowers people with developmental disabilities through vocational, educational, recreational, and residential programs to live their best lives.)

😍I was excited when I realized anchor/ reporter @robinrobinson_ was the MC. Who didn’t grow up watching her on Fox News? I know I did 🙌🏿
💰My painting sold for $700 during the live auction. +$100k plus was raised that night to buy van for disabled residents.
❤️Grateful to the Miller family… my connection to the organization.

🇮🇹Buongiorno🇮🇹
Art. Eat. Explore… Repeat
The majority of the time it was very cold and rained a lot.
Despite the rain, 10 pictures is not an enough to capture this amazing trip to Venice, Italy. Beyond grateful!

I will add all the beautiful art pictures on my Facebook Page for all of you who want a peak into the Biennale Arte 2024.

It was an honor to be invited to the 1st Black History Month Artist Showcase hosted by the Juvenile Temporary Detention Center. Honestly, I was scared at first, but I’m so glad I went. Pouring into the next generation is so important… especially NOW!

Some of the participants also had an opportunity to display their work. One of the girls paintings really stood out. The piece had so much thought and detail to it. She even created an artist statement to go with her work.

🙏🏿My prayer is that I was able to sow seeds of hope…
