I’m always looking for people, things, videos…anything, that inspires me. Inspiration creatively, visually, mentally, spiritually, just something that moves me. I’ve been fortunate to not only meet, but sometimes shoot many who move me in some way. Because of this, I’m starting a new interview series where we get a chance to speak with some of these people who have moved me in some way and see what they have going on.
For the 1st interview post, I spoke with female music duo, GossYp. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting these beautiful sisters, Adina and Amina, a few time this year. Not only are these Brooklyn born, Long Island-bred girls, chill, down to earth, and nice, they are Continue reading

28 NovWHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Storm Over the Boardwalk
15 JulCheck out this video fashion story created by my friends at Twin Tomato Creative. It was shot for Relapse Magazine for their fashion spread called, Storm Over the Boardwalk. It’s a fun, vibrant, psychedelic video…and all I can say is I kind of need those blue heels and an incredible hulk balloon in my life!
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Jason Mickle Photography
30 Jan
Hey Guys! Back in late Spring of 2012 I assisted fashion photographer, Jason Mickle, on a fashion story that recently appeared in West East Magazine. The story is loosely based around the crucifixion of Christ, and paintings depicting that story. For some reason it’s called Step Into Wonder (I’m not sure why) but the spread came out beautifully. I always learn so much when I work with Jason!
Here are a couple of pictures from the shoot, to see all of them you can visit here.

WHAT’S GETS YOU MOVIN’: STYLE DIARY (week 7)
4 Jan
I took a little break on posting my Fall Style Diary, but I never stopped shooting! Over the next couple weeks, as the chill starts to set in, I’ll show you how I warmed things up, some of the time, this Fall. Also I’m looking forward to expanding Style Diary, and What Gets You Movin’, in general. 2013 is going to be a good one!
This particular week in November there was no mood, it was rather random actually, but at least the weather was decent, hence me showing my gams! I remember this week though, it was close to midterms, as always I barely slept, and on Tuesday I found out I was showing in a group show that Friday. The show was the 3rd annual Night of Arts in Chelsea.
Monday i rocked Continue reading
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary (week 4)
26 Nov
Hey Guys! So I’ve been shooting but not posting, but the pics are coming. As most of you know, NYC was hit by Hurricane Sandy. This post is pre-Sandy, and by the weekend I was locked in my apartment bracing for the storm. Thankfully nothing major happened where I lived, but none the less we were all affected by the disaster, so much so, that I didn’t leave the house for all of Week 5!
Mondays tend to be a relaxed day or a day I dress to Continue reading
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: Fall Style Diary
24 Oct
By the end of last week, I decided I need to add more color in my wardrobe. I can’t say a completely succeeded in that, but hey it was an attempt. Right now black is just on my mind, although I am in search of a nice brown leather jacket…but that’s not exactly color in my wardrobe is it? lol
This was another week of playing catch up and no sleep, I figure if I go 2 more weeks hard, I should catch up on work things…so bare with me as I look exhausted in these and upcoming pics. Really this week was about details, just to add a little something to an outfit, and anything that is quick an easy.
Monday I was ready to conquer the world, so Continue reading
WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN’: style diary
18 Oct
In Week 2 for my Fall Style Diary, comfort was key! I needed things that were quick and easy, plus I was just kind of lazy. Many people confuse comfortable clothing with sloppy clothing, and that doesn’t have to be the case. A dress is heck a lot easier for me to put on than a pair jeans, and I instantly look i put in some effort when i really didn’t! Along with comfort, this week was about a statement piece, which was my new studded leather jacket. I love it! It dresses anything up. The other key piece are my Jeffery Campbell Brit Wrap Strap Boots. I’ve been eyeing strap boots for minute, and these did exactly what i wanted; they’re a great pair of moto boots to go with my moto jacket.
My favorites fits this week came in the latter portion of it, which were Thursday, Friday and

I’m addicted to The mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl! It’s a web series that I was told about in the late Summer by my coworker homie, who actually knows creator, Issa Rae. He told me he thought I’d like it (probably because of my own awkwardness), and that I should check it out. At the […]

WHAT GETS YOU MOVIN?: hotness
Yelawolf I’ve decided to add a new category to What Gets You Movin, and that would be ‘Hotness’! Since I was about 14, I’ve had these mini crushes on people, a new person almost every other week. Nothing serious, just someone or sometimes a subject/entity that heightens my radar for the moment. I’m always sharing […]
