Starting the night off right by swabbing and registering with @bethematch as a bone marrow donor! There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about bone marrow donation that scare people away from registering; potentially preventing lifesaving treatments from helping those who need them. Registering is simple, easy, and quick. My fingers are crossed that I'll #BeTheMatch and be able to help someone who needs it ♡
I'm beyond grateful for all of the blessings that I experienced in 2018, for the people who continue to believe in me and to support my dreams. And as grateful as I am for these blessings, I am even more grateful for the individuals, institutions, and health problems that made 2018 one of my most challenging years to date. You made my friendships stronger, taught me how to take care of myself, and inspired me to strive for a more peaceful and mindful 2019. Have a happy, healthy, and loving trip around the sun this year ×× AA
After the past 9 months of overwhelming symptoms, confusion, almost two dozen doctors appointments, multiple brain scans, and blood tests...I'm finally starting to heal 🌻 According to the doctors, I don't need brain surgery for my cyst and my extreme vertigo/vestibular migraines can be treated over time with medication and regular physical therapy. Two months ago I could barely recall what "normal" felt like, but I'm finally starting to remember. Next on my list is getting back to my healthy physical state so I can throughly enjoy/survive Trinidad Carnival in March. Thank you for all your love and support, xxAA

"The time will come  when, with elation  you will greet yourself arriving  at your own door, in your own mirror  and each will smile at the other's welcome" - Derek Walcott . . Happy Birthday to one of my best, bess, friends. We do smile at the other's welcome, a smile that is usually accompanied by a guttural shriek or incoherent babbling which continues into the depths of the night. You've helped me through so many things and I have RISD to thank for you. You're the friend that I can be the most stomach curdlingly strange with and I truly look up to you. You set such a positive example of worldview, talent, and pride for your country and you are my one and only Trini Queen 🇹🇹 👑 @mairimillar . . { Friends: you can see more of her stunning work by following the link in her bio to mairimillar.com }

From the moment I first saw the photo spread from the 2018 September Issue of @voguemagazine, I was totally captivated by this image. Not only was the cover a historic moment of representation, the entire shoot challenged Vogue to expand its scope of seeking and celebrating talent. As an artist, I enjoy the challenge of replicating forms, compositions, and techniques to not only improve my craft, but also to honor others who inspire me.
