Over the past (almost) eight years I have had the pleasure of sharing some of the most incredible memories and experiences with you all right here and via social media. I also have never been shy or veered away from uncomfortable and challenging topics. While I have achieved a certain sense of success with the blog, it also has always been a way to stay true to what I love and connecting with each and every one of you. We’ve learned to trust one another and it is for that reason that I decided to share something extremely intimate in hopes of helping those of you going through something similar.

Here’s What Happens When Icons Collide
If there is one thing that makes me happy in this world as a content creator, it is an immaculately executed campaign.

As I head in to April 2021, my door isn’t knocked on as much as it once was as a creator.
