Happy Birthday Nana!
Outside of immediate family most don’t know how close me and my great grandmother were. From the time I was born til January 6th 2001, when she passed at the age of 91 years old she was there everyday and she remains by my side.
Keeping the Same Energy
After a month of focusing on my own personal growth and solitude from social media, friends, and distractions I have found peace and a certain calmness in not bothering people and not letting them bother me. I’ve become more consistent with my business and clientele as well as crushing personal goals in just a month’s time that I thought were farfetched and unattainable.
Time to Grow
I stumbled upon this gem of a band, Free Nationals last week and have been playing their debut self titled album ever since. If you’re not hip they are Anderson.Paak’s band I suggest you download the vibe as soon as possible.

Infomercials
Getting thru the daily bullshit can be a task and I often find myself looking thru old video clips to find inspiration. Clips I relate to, clips I think could help others, and just clips that speak to me personally.
The World Chico and Everything in it…
Throwback Thursday!
Around this time in 2016 I was transitioning from working together with Black on Enspire Streetwear, and rebranding GoonMilk for myself.
Man's Best Friend
Rocky is the funniest and laziest dog Ive ever met, he spends most of his day sleep on my bedroom couch and barking at whoever comes near the front door, a fake watch dog if you will.
G.O.O.N.S. Dont Die, We Multiply
Tomorrow the second Cartoon Capsule collection will release. An ode to one of my favorite movies as a kid, “Bebe’s Kids”. Putting a spin on the movie’s motto “We Bebe’s Kids we don’t die, we multiply” and using hand drawn characters by my bro Mike Mike he did for me a few years ago.
Word of the Day
Eudaimonia - Greek word translates to happiness or welfare; however; “Human flourishing or prosperity” and “blessedness” have been proposed as more accurate translations. “The Highest Good” as explained by Aristotle in his Nicomachean Ethics.
3rd Annual Zelf on the Shelf!
Extremely proud of my cuzzo Azel Prather Jr., he’s hosting his third annual “Zelf on a Shelf” this Friday along with a self care day for his KIPP students where Barbers, Beauticians, and nail techs are coming into the school to give the kids makeovers for christmas! Last year he raised enough money through social media to get gifts for 340 students at his school. Surpassing the 26 kids he actually teaches. Zel was also featured on channel 9 News this passed weekend giving him even more of a spotlight for his The Prather Foundation and what he does everyday for those kids.
Ugly Xmas Sweater SZN
Yesterday I had the pleasure of creating a Ugly Sweater for my Good men Nick and Hoffa of Stamped Mob. They throw lit ass functions every month so I usually get to print customs for them all the time. This instance was just hilarious because on one hand I have creative free will to create for Nick, and on the other I got Hoffa getting me to create possibly the funniest ugly sweater I’ve ever seen! Ill let you guys be the judge of that though.

Flashback Friday
Two years ago this week I graduated from Mastered as a Fashion Stylist! Seems just yesterday I was hustlin for tuition each month and complaining about the lack of classmates in the area. Being in an online program that had you do group projects with people coming from two n three states away is a task in itself. All in all it was a great experience and I wouldn’t trade the knowledge gained for anything. The biggest plus of being a Mastered Alumni is the network of talent that you can still contact and connect with, as well as the star studded group of instructors that we learned from.
Distraction Addiction
What are the long term effects of too much information? How attached are you to your phone? Are Social Media Friends real? Can you put your phone down? Are you addicted to your Smartphone?
Ghetto Until Proven Fashionable
Moschino’s Pre Fall 2020 show was satire at its best. But that’s what Creative Director Jeremey Scott has always been known for. That being as it may, where as a culture do we draw the line of mockery and a clear admiration for what Black Culture has brought forth to fashion and mainstream media.
Get Enspired!
Can’t tell you how proud and excited I am for my Bro Black and his Brand Enspire! From Bucket hats to a Nike collab with KD! Watching Black transition from a hustler to a business man has been inspiring and motivating to say the least
God Bless the Homeless
My favorite living Artist Banksy brings awareness to Homelessness in his latest Christmas mural in Birmingham.
Ear to the Streets
Few solid Projects dropped the passed few weeks including Roddy Ricch’s debut Album “Please Excuse Me For being Antisocial” as well as Fabolous’ “Summertime Shootout 3: Coldest Summer Ever”.
When Diving in the DM's goes Right!
Saturday I had the opportunity to create a tee for my man Justin as he Proposed to his fiancé Kayla.
