Mural, Mural on the Wall
Happy Friday everyone, I’ve always loved street art, graffiti, and murals because of their creative, inspiring and unrestricted ability to capture my attention. It’s been refreshing to see a lot of cities embracing colorful streets and walls by artists from all walks of life who are able to tell stories and express themselves in such a unique way.

Once of the major reasons why I’ve had this colorful, vibrant, and happy city on my bucket list for so long is because of the Afro-Columbian community that I wanted to learn more about, as well as where the african influences originated from. I can be bit of a history fanatic at times, and as I’ve grown older my desire to learn more about it has grown exponentially. On my second day in Colombia, I took a tour to San Basilio de Palenque, which is an african village almost an hour outside of...About Me
I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. As I grew older I not only enjoyed enhancing my look, but that of others, so the natural fit was to become a Fashion Stylist.
