Born of two rich heritages. Half Diné (Navajo) and half Black. I was raised a roughneck native on the reservation, built by resilience, tradition, and a whole lot of hard lessons learned under the desert sun. I finished school right there on the rez, where education came from both textbooks and the raw, unfiltered teachings of life.
I’ve hit nearly every goal I’ve ever set for myself. except for traveling the world (but hey, the passport is still valid, and so is the dream). I used my skills, creativity, and sheer grit to carve out a lifestyle that funds itself. I walked away from the 9-to-5 grind to embrace both the slow moments that stretch like quiet desert evenings, and the fast-paced chaos that feels like a wild monsoon. You learn to love both.
Fear? Never met it. But I’ve sat with struggle, shared meals with uncertainty, and came out the other side with stories worth telling. These days, I create for strangers who love art, photography, and video. People who don’t even know me but somehow feel seen through my work.
Weirdly enough, I’m more of a gifter than a person who likes being handed things. I’d rather earn my stripes and brag a little than be given a shortcut I didn’t fight for. I went to some college, but let’s be real. I made it further without a degree or certificate than most people make with three. I found the cheat code to life, and spoiler alert: it’s not in a textbook.
Now, I’m here. Wherever here is. Who knows what the future holds. Hopefully love, laughter, and an endless supply of time to create, connect, and live like I mean it.
