"Born to a Caribbean family in Florida and spent most of my childhood living across the United States of America and in the United Kingdom. My experiences in my youth have become a constant reflection in my artistic projects of today. To make it clear, my family chose to travel often but not for military reasons. Instead, they were seeking to empower themselves in a system designed to work against them. I am proud to say, that I come from a creative family who chose to not be pigeonholed, and decided to fight against the supremacist system, whether intellectually or through the arts. I, myself, ended up developing a passion for music, literature, and visual art. After school, I volunteered in programs to learn how to screenplay; produce music; and to advance in my artistic styles in both fine arts and design. Remaining in the top tier of my class, I also was granted access to even more opportunities that supported my constant thirst for knowledge. Since grade school and college, I have made many accomplishments in the arts and in literature, and I continue to push myself beyond my comfort zone."
