if I learned anything from Shamiso + Paul, it’s that kindness, patience and hard work will get you everywhere you need to be.

Oh, how these two hold a special place in my heart.

some years ask questions,
some years answer questions.

2020, for many people raised A LOT of questions...

* what would I do if I lost my job?
* what if I charged for my hobby?
* what if I didn't have (insert significant person)?
* what if all my answers are wrong?

Here's the answer, and it's not a secret.

* you will persist.
* you will persist.
* you will persist.

you may have to do it imperfectly unaware, with no safety net. but you'll get there. It may not look like what you wished, but sometimes friend, that's better.

are YOU a procrasti-parent?! join my club 🤣⁠
⁠
which cohort is today? ⁠
did we remember to e-mail yesterdays homework?⁠
is today's special program music? art? gym?⁠
⁠
with all the new things we've had to learn and track this year, holiday pictures we're probably pretty low on the totem pole. ⁠
⁠
i'm still booking studio mini's for the next 6 days.⁠
⁠
P.S: don't forget to move the elf 😉⁠
⁠
DM me for details. ⁠

say what you mean, mean what you say. maybe we won’t all ‘get it’; but those who were meant to, they’ll find the art in every syllable.
