I’ve Been Yapping A Lot This Homecoming Season.
I’ve Been Yapping A Lot This Homecoming Season.

This homecoming season I returned back to my alma mater, North Carolina A&T State University with a mouthful & intention. Read & listen to how I used a familiar space to hold new conversation and share my experience being a multidisciplinary artist going through early-post grad life.

Soular World Magazine was a black centered "everything" mini magazine that ran two issues January & February of 2023. Dedicated to taking a deeper dive into the world's of regular people doing extraordinary things. Under the direction of Editor-In-Chief, Arial Robinson, SWM was a short concept publication where the child never grows ups. That inner youth follows us along our journeys and allows us the space to explore, document and reflect. From fashion and lifestyle to arts and literature, the world was ours to discover.

Reuben & Friends

If you’re not familiar with Reuben Vincent, now is a great time to tap into the Jamala Records/Roc Nation artist. The Charlotte, NC native just dropped his debut album, Love is War and Soular World Magazine got a glimpse into his first performance since it was released January of 2023.

I Always Come Home From New York Feeling Full.

Last weekend I went to New York and I left feeling inspired to deep dive into the projects I’m working on. It’s not even like I wasn’t working before I went. But leaving I felt as if I could approach my own passions in a new way. Here I explore my aspirations along with my love for the city.

I Am. All Of Us.
I Am. All Of Us.

Prior to the release of Kendrick Lamar’s fifth LP, “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers,” Courtney & I wanted to share our anticipation for the project, with only the title and “The Heart Part 5” to dissect. There is power and pain in being the “&” and we wanted to peel back the curtains and share our perspective on it.

took some photos of my friend.

What started as a favor ended in me taking some time to reflect on my own individuality and how it exists stronger with the help of other people. Better together.

I Ruined My Own Aggie Fest & I Don’t Regret It.
I Ruined My Own Aggie Fest & I Don’t Regret It.

I really wanted to make some Aggie Fest content this week but I wasn’t in a party mood plus the few parties I went to didn’t really inspire me to capture anything. Instead, I used my printer to take some photos with the items in my purse. I feel as though these images capture the essence of a week out of the year that I once couldn’t even remember.
