Draw-A-Goon CoronaVirus Quarantine Drawing Contest!
Lets see who can draw their best interpretation of what a “Goon” is to them! As we all are shut in due to the Covid-19 epidemic I had an idea to collaborate with artists as well as put some money in someones pocket, all while promoting the brand and creativity. The Artwork doesn’t have to be Michelangelo’s Sistine chapel, or a drawing at all, if you have a slogan or t shirt design that you want to get off, submit that as well. Im looking at this as everyone’s chance to be a designer for a day and create a new revenue stream through social distancing as well as social networking. Thats how you turn a negative into a positive and Get Out Of Negative Situations!
GoonMilk Message of the Day!
With this Coronavirus pandemic taking over the world let’s remember to be compassionate and loving in this trying time.
Gotta Stay Prayed Up!
What you do it for?
Last week I donated some shirts to the homie Ralph and his #ToddlerBall kids!
Im Back and Im Better!
Taking a vacation once a year with my family is imperative to my creative process and clearing my head. Especially after being sick with the flu/cold the week before. My family is my everything, it’s what I work for, Its what motivates me to get up every morning. Seeing my Mommas happy and enjoying every moment of this trip is something I will forever hold dear to my heart. Heres a few pics before I drop a full Recap. I had a whole blog post written up but then my macbook died and yeah nah i’m not doing that again lol.
I love, LOVE!
Happy Valentines Day to all the lovers out there! This is low key one of my favorite holidays, and whether you believe its a made up holiday or a conspiracy to spend unnecessary money, nonetheless the love is in the air.
Your'e A Genius
You only have to be right once!
Being an artist or someone with aspirations and goals period, you have to be unwavering in your art form. Being extremely confident and faithful to your art is key!
Being Present
Yesterday I had the privilege of being on a Black Entrepreneur Panel for the kids at Potomac Job Corps for Black History Month! It is always a pleasure to share my story in business and inspiring the youth to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
Trials and Tribulations
This passed week was a literal week from Hell. Anything that could go wrong did, and with each L came a lesson right along with it.
Geordan dropped a Gem
Yesterday as I’m scrolling through social media trying to still make sense of Kobe’s death, life, and just personal shit we all go through, I stumbled upon Geordan’s post on relationships and how challenging it is to find someone who speaks your love language.
Fear is stronger than Love
TRUST NO BODY!
The harsh reality is you are your best asset and the only person who truly has your back in any situation. Love does not equate to the fear people have of being wrong, the fear of losing out, even the fear of trusting you as well. Don’t ever put yourself in position to be at the mercy of someone else’s loyalty or love.
Proper Support!
Insubordination The Podcast hosted by Zel(@HailZel) and Bre(_Breon the beat) Two class clowns turned educators come together to discuss life, pop culture, trending topics and more! This week’s episode featuring @YouKnowPolo of Great Energy Group, LittyinTheCity, and Dream Village talks about the proper way to support, ways we as a collective can support our friends better, and the impact of supporting our friends in our community.
Detoxing
The older I get the more I realize who I was when I was younger is now much more complicated and needs much more attention and appreciation from not just others but from myself as well. Becoming more self conscious and a student of my own persona and figuring out why I am the way I am is something I have recently begun to focus on.
Happy Birthday MLK!
In 2020 we are still hanging on to your dream and fighting the good fight against racism, social injustice, and civil rights for all people of the world. Not many know the history of our nation and the atrocities you fought to the death to bring to light and to bring change to.
Passion and Purpose
Once I found my passion in fashion I started my business, but once I began to use my brand in helping others and teaching kids and working within my community, I found my purpose. The energy and positive vibrations from working with some foster kids and local teens this weekend was extraordinary.
Food for Thought
Anything that god has for me, is for me. No man or woman can block or take that from me. Time is a human construct that can confuse and mislead you on your own personal journey thinking you’re missing out or that someones blessing should be yours. Life is about building and creating, not following a timeline or someone else’s construct of what success is.
All the Smoke
Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes’ podcast all the smoke has become one of my favorite podcast in the past year or so. Only into their 11th episode fairly new I think it has the potential to grow into that breakfast club, Joe Budden type podcast level.
If it’s up then it’s up with us!
My first week back on social media has been eventful to say the least.
Gratitude
First and foremost I want to express my gratitude to my family and my mom especially! Not only is she the strongest person I know but also the most positive influence in my life and for that I thank you immensely!
Message!
No matter what you been through, no matter how down you feel, no matter how bad you’ve messed up, you still have value! You can still get out of any negative situation! You are still worthy!
