Creativity is memory, not mastery. Can you remember? Not the memory of data and details, but *re*membering, as in — piecing yourself back together. Returning to the self that knew how to imagine, how to experiment and play, how to make messy, beautiful, wonder before self-consciousness set in. 2025-09-03 22:24:46 Creativity is memory, n.. 1,564 -34% 25 -61%
The paint is really thick on some places on this one. It been more than two years and I keep putting it down and picking it back up. I’m so close with the faces—their expressions, the likeness, the feeling—but still not totally there. I may add stripes or leaves to Pops’ jacket just to really make it over the top (?!) I do really like the texture that emerged tho so I don’t want to lose that. But not sure I’m loving the solid color there when the rest is so full of pattern. I had to put them away this week because I had been in a flow state with them for so many hours back-back that my neck and shoulder started to rebel. Can’t forget to stretch JB!! 2025-08-30 21:20:47 The paint i.. 915 -61% 39 -39%
Wildly grateful to share that after nearly 8 months of displacement from the Altadena fires, we are back at home & homeostasis 🙌🏽🙏🏽🥹.

Happiest of Birthdays to my sister, my bestie boo FaithBlakeney. You light up every room, get everyone up and dancing, make friends wherever the world finds you, and somehow always look chic doing it with all that *infectious enthusiasm*. You love deeply, create so much beauty, and always keep it realer than real. 
You’re courageous, kind-hearted, (or “decent” as Papa would say) endlessly curious, FUN and the most caring mama, daughter, tanta, sister and friend. I’m so grateful to do this life with you — love you forever boosky woosky. P.S. you even manage to make  charcoal toothpaste look good 😆 2025-08-20 05:32:39 Happiest of .. 950 -60% 22 -66%

What if you had to buy everything in your closet all over again?

Closet cleaning hit different this year.
After the smoke damage from the fires, I had to go through every single textile I owned — clothes, towels, sheets, bags — and make some tough calls. Anything I wanted to keep had to be professionally cleaned for smoke damage, without clarity if we’d be reimbursed by insurance. Suddenly, every item had a price tag: $20 for a shirt. $40 for shoes. $60 for a bag. And that changed my outlook on closet cleaning drastically. 
It wasn’t just “Does this spark joy?” anymore. Suddenly, it was “Would I actually *pay* to keep this today?” And honestly? A lot of the time, the answer was no. That cost gave me clarity. It cut through guilt, sentiment, and all the stuff I’d been holding onto “just in case” or “maybe one day.” Letting go suddenly felt a lot easier when holding on meant buying it all over again.

So if you’re struggling to clean out your closet (or your life) this year, try this:
Put a price on it. Then ask yourself: Would I re-buy this now? If yes, “buy” it by moving that amount into savings. If not, thank it and let it go. It’s not just decluttering — it’s a mindset reset.

It’s not  just clearing space — it’s making space for the present and future versions of yourself. 2025-07-15 21:14:15 .. 2,197 -7% 74 +15%
🌀Behind the Cover of GROW 🌀 
There’s deep meaning behind the design of the GROW cover art. The spiral is a portal and a path…it symbolizes life and growth. 

Growth isn’t linear—it’s cyclical, spiraling inward and outward. We revisit old patterns, each time with new eyes, shaped by the wisdom we’ve gathered along the way.

All along the spiral are eye-shaped forms called mandorlas—made when two circles overlap. To me, they represent the sacred in-between space, where change takes root. The mandorla is the eye, and it’s also the womb, the vagina—the portal. A place of seeing, of birth and rebirth.

The eight-pointed star is a protective symbol, that offers direction, insight, and blessings. 
It represents cosmic balance, the integration of opposites, and the infinity that lies within and beyond us. They remind us to look up and within, and trust the light that’s always there. 
GROW: Pathways to Passion, Purpose and Peace is a project I created with my mama, Dr. Ronnie Blakeney, a developmental psychologist. There is a lot of love and meaning in all the words, practices and artwork that we are so excited to share.

Outside the Paul Simon concert last night might not be the most traditional place to review your book baby for the first time—but here we are. I couldn’t wait to show my mama (and Papa!) the proofs of our new book that had just arrived from the printer. 

We’ve been pouring our hearts, minds, and countless hours into GROW for the past two years. Every word and every brushstroke. We debated (lovingly). We edited (endlessly). We laughed, cried, laugh-cried, and loved on every tiny detail. 
And now…she’s alive! and she’s soooooooo pretty. And moving. And well…I can’t wait for you to see and experience her!! 

Pre-orders are now open. If you’re craving a little more purpose, play, or peace—we made this for you (!!!)

“No kings. More yasss queens” was one of my favorite signs. Riffing on that…

No stepping on or over. More standing with.
No hate. More hand-holding.
No gaslighting. More moonlight.
No lone wolves. More pack.

I used to hesitate.
Waiting for someone else to call me an artist.
But now? I don’t wait for permission.
I paint—so I am a painter.
Art isn’t a title. It’s a practice.

Five months of hotel rooms and house-hopping. Missing our routines, our space, our little daily joys. As a total homebody, a lot of my life, joy, and comfort stems from home:  being home, making home, tinkering, playing, communing and decorating. I’m not going to lie—it’s been rough. 

Our home didn’t burn—(and I’m incredibly grateful)—but the smoke, toxins and burst water pipes made it unsafe to stay.
Now, finally, the cleanup has begun. The water pipes are repaired and remediation is underway, and we’re holding onto hope that by July, we’ll get to come home.

These photos were taken before the fires—when home still held our scent, our laughter, our music and our rhythms. We can’t wait to fill these spaces again. 2025-05-20 19:29:10 Fiv.. 4,391 +86% 87 +36%
Over the last few years I’ve been working on re-learning the language of my body to help me connect to the wild within….also for those who may be just starting this journey know that for me the sensations were SUPER subtle at first and it took time and mindfulness for me to really be able to feel and name them.
