What I do not see, I will create and what I cannot create I will curate.
& if that fails I will do everything in my power to be so visible what I seek will have no choice but to see!
I’m going to make all my dreams come true and knowing that is only half of it. The other half is staying present to what is happening NOW, patient in knowing the best is yet to come, and passionate about how it all will unfold.
I love you… like A LOT❤️
So many girls will take a compliment like that and use it as ammunition to fuel their confidence which often looks like testing down/excluding other girls.
I know not everything is easy but i’m at a stage where if it complicated I don’t want it. I don’t have the energy… like damn i’m already black + trans. You want me to take your sh*t too? Nah bookie… you can keep it!
Doing a residency right now and it’s so hard to let something you gave birth to (creatively) rest in the hands of someone else. Learning how to TRUST people with my vision…
Tonight is the invited dress of NYC’s CATS: The Jellicle Ball at the Perelman and wow…. I am so nervous. This show has been a major shift in my career as an artist and in the process taught me SO MUCH.
From as much heart as one can put in, it’s now in the hands of the people🫶🏾
I have a bad habit of when something ends wondering instantly when i’m going to have it again. & it’s probably because being trans means having a patience (even within the community) that goes beyond the norm. I have to be REALLY patient to most likely not even get half
Last week I was at my residency working on an original piece w/
@NYTW79
and this week i’m starting a dance intensive with Kyle Abraham. It feels so good to finally be getting back into my body ♡
and is my current work not proof enough?
Limited resources and still one of the top Dolls creating and engaging with community in NY and beyond.
I don’t miss. They (and we know who they are) just count me out!
I have to remember and trust that God’s plan for me doesn’t end here… it doesn’t end feeling or looking like this. I am not defined by my bad days but by the limitless days of beauty ahead of me🤍
Watch out for the “You do it first” girls! The girls who are timid to be different so they run with someone else’s aesthetic and self expression when it’s deemed “fab” and socially acceptable…
The more and more you accept life is what you literally make it, you’ll be happier. Everything is a choice from who you call family, what you do, who you do it with, etc…
I don’t think i’ll ever really move on and I don’t know if I want to tbh.. or if I just want to move forward being present to the fact people change (myself included) and love is where you find it
not even half the care…
not even half the interest…
not even half the opportunity…
not even half of the space to figure it out…
not even half the intimacy…
not even half the patience in return…
and yet, i’m expected to show up like i’m not hurting and exceptional!
Oh and “Congratulations” still hasn’t hit me. I’m really an Associate Director of an off-broadway show in NYC.
25 had it’s downs but this UP is one I never imagined. God really don’t play about me!
Adding to this: What makes art and creation innovative is when it breaks the mold. It redefines what we deem the “standard.” Ultimately it shifts how we (artists) can express ourselves.
So i’ve learned that dancers do NOT want to be bothered before ballet… I walked into the room and it felt so cold! It felt weird to even say “Good morning” i’m gagging

@kytheblackangel
So many people wanna be “IT” with no originality… you can’t expect the cake to hit when it’s mad other girls with the same recipe
I haven’t been in a space or participated in dance intensives since I transitioned… Today is actually really major for me in taking up/sharing space with people who might be unfamiliar with my body like I was years ago
When I find my style and natural state of presenting myself i’m going to be so ovah. Like i’m ovah now but yeah… y’all get what i’m saying💋
