Why my studio closed in 2023

On July 9, 2023, I closed the doors of my Maryland studio. I did this for a variety of reasons. The primary reason is I want to help guide more Black womxn in centering themselves, loving their bodies as they are now, and recognizing pleasure is our birthright.  When I am not capturing Black womxn in my studio I have been educating boudoir photographers on capturing us and leading workshops on reinvention and boundaries in tropical locations around the world. 

 I quit my job almost 2 years ago and the journey has been incredible, frustrating, expensive, and liberating. I have been able to do things I would not have dreamed of doing. Things I would not have been able to do if, I didn’t just say let me enjoy life. Let me do what I really want and if it doesn’t work out it’s okay. At least I got to say I did it and have no regrets. 

 I want to be a woman that reinvents herself often (I am on my 5th reinvention thus far). Not because I have to but because this new version of me requires something different. My needs are different and I deserve to exist in a space where all my needs are met. 

 My motto is you are your longest and most expensive relationship. No one should treat you betta than you treat yourself. You should love yourself to distraction and the people in your life should treat you with honor and respect. Especially in this world where you are always weighed against others and found lacking.

Closing my boudoir studio is an act of liberation and radical self-care. I will be traveling from August – November to Africa, Spain, and South East Asia, January is Kentucky and February is back to South East Asia. This will allow me time to learn more about myself, my next steps, and how I can fully embody being the favorite version of myself! I have no idea what will await me in these locations but I trust myself enough to know that this feels good and I am always right where I need to be. Plus my daddy aint raise no full, cause sis is street and book smart.
