I Need to Take More Pics!
I’ve been spending a lot of time driving on River Road just for the scenery and peace of mind. I was inspired to capture myself here. A Louisiana-Creole woman in a white dress, on a levee? What screams Southern Belle more than that?! I love the urban/street wear/high fashion vibes, but I wanted to switch things up for a second, channel my softer side and my show my roots. This was actually shot on the brink of a Full Moon in Pisces. So that was very easy to do. My hair is by Toreyal Jones , traveling cosmetologist. My look is styled and glammed by me. I did do a bit a of creative direction, but I cannot forget to shoutout Jiggie Jay! I’m so thankful to have someone who sees my vision and can help me capture it effortlessly! Scroll down or visit the “Spritual Tingz” tab for more pictures. Make sure you’re plugged in with me on all platforms! Check out the behind the scenes content on Youtube below as well as the motion captured by Jiggie Jay on my Instagram!
UPDATE
Much of my 2021 has been about doing the groundwork to see things come forth. It’s been very much a “behind the scenes” type year in so many ways and I hope to recap it on Youtube like last year’s 2020 KIKI Series. I had to remind myself to make sure everything about 2021 wasn’t done in the dark. It’s easy to shrink and stop creating and sharing when I feel like I’m being ignored or even worse copied by other people and passed off as “original”. I’m not writing this to sound egotistical—more so to get it off my chest, it is the end of the year! I’ve noticed for a long time that things I do get overlooked, then people show up using my ideas, wording and creative formulas without acknowledging the influence I had. Seeing people inspired by me and refusing to acknowledge it, cripples me into a place of wanting to disappear. If I’m not doing anything, then you can’t copy me right? But that’s silly and also abusive to my own light. Everything I do is a way for me to express myself. I have this website with blog posts to track my endeavors, a Youtube to talk about my journey and share my personality and pictures that say thousands of words. Creativity is what continues to keep me from being swallowed by depression. I’ve been doing a lot of talk about spirituality and have opened up to incorporate new services to share that side of me more intimately, but once I got to a certain place in that healing process, I knew it was more to healing that just “getting better”. It’s about being truthful whether you’re better or not. So speaking of 2021 being a “Behind the Scenes” year, you never know the full picture unless someone exposes it. I do a pretty good job at making things look great though, which is why I have creative consultation services for building projects, images and branding. I’m human just like everyone else. I cannot force people to support me or identify the difference my existence makes, but I can speak my side of the story. I do believe in timing and not wearing out a welcome, but I also believe in support. We’re all inspired by SOMEONE! I’ve always tried to be a genuine support to others and cheer them on, but I hardly get that same energy back. A mantra I’ve developed for myself to use on platforms is “VISIBLE SUPPORT MATTERS”. It seems that people give minimal response to my content because they think no one is watching or no one likes me. That’s not true. People like to lurk and use me for inspiration, but lurking is not the same as supporting. Scrolling past something you like from me, recycling my words and ideas is not empowering me. It’s exhausting be fuel for others, but receive little to nothing in return. Everyone needs to be gas’d up sometimes! Even still, my creativity doesn’t depend on calculation of views and likes, but support goes a long way. Please make your appreciation known by showing up for me.
