Like many of the stories of the Black Panthers Fred Hampton’s story ends in tragedy. But before the tragedy, there is a giant. The Black man has been destroyed from every angle of society. Fred knew this quit well and was fighting for our pride and dignity. What the Black Panther Party was able to accomplish is incredible and will be remembered for what it was, a movement for the people by the people.
Fred shows me that the battle for our freedom has come at great prices, including some of our brightest minds being murdered. Fred’s mind was so bright that the powers that be could never diminish his legacy. You can kill a man but you can never kill his spirit and the way he made people feel. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

For those of y'all who have been following my journey as an artist. This is my story continued.
Many people do not know I was adopted (By my father) when I was 5 years old. Because of this, I have so much respect for the people who step up to be stepfathers and stepmothers. Growing up not knowing my biological father left me wondering about my family history and my lineage. Asking the questions, "Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? What do I want to do with my life?"
With the perspective of being mixed race, looking for mentors or guidance from one source didn't make sense. On top of my racial mixtures, I am also interested in a multitude of subjects & disciplines. From fashion, music, arts, sports, community, writing, content, business... the list is long.
I always looked for people from whom I could find guidance. Over the years I learned and stood on the shoulders of those that came before me.
These are people who, for one reason or another, I respect and admire.
