That one time I painted a Goddess on the @sherman.phoenix building commissioned by @gener8tor with much gratitude toward @clare_dasilva and @fellowship.art and my muse @laniasprolesartist. “Steadily Rising” is for all of us here and those that will follow.

I’ve been holding out on sharing this because I wanted it to get the proper attention. A week before I flew out to Milwaukee to paint the mural, I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Eastside engineer Podcast. I met Cynthia when she visited my wall while I was painting last year for Murals in the Market. Earlier this year, I bumped into her at NSBE STEAMfest. All who knows me knows that I’m a Chatty Patty! So when the Eastside Engineer herself invited me to be on her podcast, I happily accepted (y’all know I’m a ham)! It was a dope dialogue that was informational with a touch of ratchet! The link is in my bio. I hope you enjoy! You can follow her podcasts @eastsideengineer. #steam #stem #engineeringmeetsart #art #engineering #girlraisedindetroit. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-east%24ide-engineer/id1457454013#episodeGuid=tag%3Asoundcloud%2C2010%3Atracks%2F641654952

Before I share my “Ode to 40” saga, I’d like to thank each and everyone of you who reached out through posts, texts, phone calls, thoughts, and well wishes. I am eternally grateful! My big day was nothing short of AMAZING! “Ode to 40” Spending my 40th at the Essence Festival in New Orleans was NOT my plan or desire. All of the Gods however said “but dats what da hell you gone do! Just wait and see!” Low and behold, I received a call from my old advertising agency homie that works for UWI Group, Nicole Sebree Henry saying that Ford Motor Company wants me to paint a mural for their booth at the festival and for me to showcase my work in their lounge. I humbly accepted their invitation. Not too long after that call, I received a call from a curator for the Jane Club in New Orleans (a connection made by my sister/friend Genelle Brooks-Petty)wanting me to showcase 2 of my paintings for an event for the Mayor! It kept getting better! My sister Geralynn and Jordette Singleton flew down to hang with me! Ford also highlighted me on the big screen at the SuperDome and then we partied at Estelle’s after dark event like it was a straight club out in Kingston! With a whopping 3 hours of sleep, I got my ass up to do a round table with 4 amazing black women entrepreneurs including our own Melissa Butler (yay). To top it off, Mc Lyte moderated the artists’ panel that included Mychael Shane, Shantell Martin, Melissa Mitchell and me. There’s so much more but you get the gist, EYES TIED! 40 is amplifying my why and I’m full of nothing but gratitude ❤️❤️ #myfordfam #EssenceFest @ford @essence @essencefest #imclimbingthestairstogoatonestepatatime
