A Peek Inside My Journal

I’ve been selected as one of only 60 artists to be featured in the Art San Diego Contemporary Art and Design Fair! Please continue to donate and share. Being able to attend this event would mean so much to me and could potentially launch my career. I’m 1/2 way to being able to put down a deposit to hold the booth of my choosing for the exhibit (30%).

Thank you everyone who has donated, shared my posts, and encouraged others to donate and share thus far. I feel so much love amongst my family and community.

I’m not the type of person who asks for much, but I can’t let this opportunity slip away from me. I’m also offering commissions to raise money for this endeavor. Please dm me here, or on Instagram if you’re interested so we can work out the details.

I got accepted to be an artist at the Art San Diego Contemporary Art + Design Fair!!! Now I just need help paying for the space required to display my art.

My body is not a catch

My body is not a trophy

My body is not an award

My body is not a bonus

My body is a woman

My body is me

My body is my emotional distress

My body is my safe space

My body is my strength

My body is my home

My “no” is non-negotiable

My “no” is not a suggestion

My “no” is not an opinion

My “no” is not up for debate

My “no” is not a compromise

My “no” is a conclusion

My “no” is a statement

My “no” is a law

My “no” is the end

My “no” is permanent

Teach yourselves and your sons respect

Teach restraint

Teach love over lust

Teach autonomy over authority

I will not “come around”

I will not have a “change of heart”

I will not be persuaded

I will not be bought

I will not “realize what I could have had”

When I say “no” will your sons listen?

Will they respect my body?

Will they respect my “no?”

To breathe him in

Waves of sweet release

His smile, a bright sun

I bathe in his radiance

Basking in brilliance

My flame ignited

He inspires, unknowing

My heart swells for him

Love everlasting

Intertwined in space and time

For eternity.

To be so loved by this man,

To love him as much,

Beauty in his eyes,

I could swim in them all day,
