I have a constant to-do list but no curriculum to follow. I am in my head trying to sort it all out. I am talented? I am talented. What are my talents? What fulfills me? What can I make money from? What won’t I share? What are my goals? How will I achieve them? Why? Will anyone remember? Why?

I’m thinking about the future. My future. I have thoughts about the world & my place in it. I am considering the global cultural landscape as it relates to...everything? Everything. [the universe] I spend too much time on my phone. I consume too many bite sized videos when I am not hunched over a laptop. I consume everything the digital buffet has to offer. I work. [too] I have questions about labor, what constitutes. I am making mistakes. I am making art. What is art? What is space? Is my work important? Can fact feel my truth? I am getting dressed everyday. I got the universe on my mind.

This New York Fashion Week season I am returning with my latest project. astral unit, is an apparel project rooted in archival research, that blends celestial aesthetics with Black narratives by leveraging athletic and everyday silhouettes, to deliver attire and accessories that can support the many hats today’s artist must wear.

astral unit will be a part of the Just Dap NYFW Pop-Up Shop experience showcasing an assortment of our The Celestial Bandanas. A reimagination on a classic accessory. A lightweight, breathable, soft, polyester fabric cut, sewn, and printed at 25.25" x 25.25". With 24 styles to choose from, this collection is a simple start and brief look at the future at the design direction of this product line for the next few collections in this project.

Main Start Engine is about kicking things into gear, in the same way I tie my bandana tight right before I am about to get to work.
