We are more than ‘urban’ typecast AI visuals. I have spent years working through data sets, and training LORAs to allow imaginative futures to thrive in blockchain space and beyond. Blockchain is where I primarily reside, and want more people to realize is a space available to them to flourish.

I then thought about the fact that so many people want to speak for me, use my voice and literal lived identity as their own, or claim that people like me don’t exist (Afro Indigenous who were brought to the US and are connected to the Indigenous peoples of this continent) and they paint it one way.

I have used AI since 2022. Trained my first AI model for a platform in 2024. My work is on-chain, public, and open. Some artists are canonized for less - backed by galleries, grants, and six-figure sales. My work is proof that impact doesn’t require speculation.
