This is my first time curating something like this-and honestly, it feels like a full-circle moment.

Black Ass Event is a night I'm planning with my whole heart. Every artist on this lineup was chosen for a reason. Every part of this event— from the playlist to the popsicles-was picked with love.

We outside at in Englewood, and this is all part of the We Are All Artists exhibition curated by

“Bright”

6/6 of Divinely Feminine

Being feminine isn’t about wearing just bright colors, it’s about being nurturing as a person. You being bright is bringing positivity into the world, to the ones you love and to yourself. You choosing to be that form of bright will help remind you that things will be alright and to look for the calm in the storm.
