Y’all I just finished teaching my 5th- 8th graders the 7 elements of art.
Color was our last element and they picked up on color theory so well!
Our final project was an abstract color wheel of sorts.
Here is my example:
& my mf babies ATE ME UP!!
(Thread)
They snapped!
I can’t get over how well they did with this project!!
I made this lesson plan up on a wing and the shit is amazing!
It will be a ritual throughout my years of teaching art !!
Thank y’all so so much !!
I can’t wait to tell my kids the love they are receiving!! 💖💖
I’m gonna mute this! Lol I’m in PD and my phone is going crazy !
Shameless plug:

Not only do I teach art, but I am an artist outside of the classroom!

At 26 I SURVIVED brain surgery & a heart attack.. just WOW.
These past 5 mo. I had to learn how to walk w/o a cane, retrain my brain how to see & feel, retrain my face muscles & so much more. I’m not 100% & still have trouble balancing but I’ve come so far! thank you GOD. 🥺💪🏾💛
I’ve been called selfish so much that I started to believe it.
My therapist just said “You’re the absolute opposite of selfish. You’re not familiar with putting yourself first & the minute you do, you allow guilt to change your mind.”
Please tell me y’all remember what a View Master is!?
This girl bought me a damn view master with custom slides of our 3 years together 💛🥺 I’m so in love with this woman.
Don’t ask me when the wedding is because I asked her too.😂
A year ago I had an osteoblastoma removed from my BRAIN.
365 days ago I began the longest/hardest journey of my damn life.
& by God’s grace I survived!
Thank you to my village who held me all the fucking way down!
I’m emotional!!🥺

Yall,
I let one of my students freestyle some of my clogs and she lost her mind on them! 🥹
I told her I’m about to post them on Twitter and get her some love!! 🧡
I wake up way before baby so she sets daily reminders for me the night before & they literally make my mornings fr. 🤍🥹
I’m gonna cry bc this girl was made for me fr.
This is 30.
Wow this is T H I R T Y!
This year I deserve an unfathomable level of peace, happiness & love.
I pray for a soft entry into this new decade of life.
Happy Birthday Amb!
You survived long enough, it’s time to live baby! ✨

This year:
I bought a new car
A job promotion at the school I adore
& I just picked up the keys to my new apartment.
Whew. I know I sound like a broken record, but I can only imagine how daddy would’ve turned up for me.
I’m coming after what’s mine daddy.♥️

Today is my Rebirth-Day. 🧡
I have been tumor free for 3 years.
I survived one of the scariest journeys ever on 06/05/20.
& all I keep thinking about is my Daddy!
I survived just to lose my main man & that’ll always be annoying to me.

I remember my daddy going live to ask for prayer like the old folks do when he found out I had a brain tumor.
Listen to how this man loved me.
He was so scared & him being on the other side is what pulled me through that scary shit…
Tomrrow really makes it 365 without my dawg.
Transparent moment:
On the 15th I had an MRI performed and they found a tumor in the left side of my brain.
My neurosurgeon is in the process of scheduling surgery and working out all the necessities.
I just need y’all to pray over me, my village & my surgical team. 🤞🏾❤️
I know y’all tired of me bragging about my nigga & idc bc she never ceases to amaze me.🥺
my last gift came in & I am bawling. She got me a custom connect 4 board.
Since brain surgery all I’ve been doing is playing games.
Her gifts are always so fucking thoughtful.

I don’t really have much to say but thank you!
Grateful is an understatement, a major understatement & I am beyond blessed to have received another chance at life.
Happy ReBirthday to me!

Met my girlfriend and I got healthier, loss 50+ pounds, skin got clearer, money got wayyy longer, focus got stronger, started my grad program, and traveled to multiple countries...
This is what happens when you’re with someone who’s meant for you.
Don’t mind my fiducial markers!
Whew. We are here, tomorrow is the big day! I want to say thank you to every single soul who has prayed, wished me well, and thought about me during this entire process.❤️ I am a soldier and this is just another testimony to be told!
I’m currently in this car bawling bc one of my pieces has been selected to be featured in this dope ass gallery in Maryland! Whew my chest!🥺✨ it’s only up from here!
@ImRegular

I DID IT!
I chased a dream & the dream literally found me!
Goal: GET PAID YOUR WORTH FOR DOING WHAT YOU LOVE.
I’m a passion worker.
I can’t work unless I am HAPPY and PASSIONATE about what I am doing.
I can finally say I am an ART TEACHER y’all!
A WELL PAID ONE AT THAT! 🥹
30 days ago I went through an extensive 7.5 hour brain surgery.
No I’m not 100% but I am way further in recuperation than I could’ve ever imagine being.
I just want to thank God and every single being that prayed for me.
I’m a survivor... a walking testimony!
I didn’t know this shit went up like this.
While y’all are here, I’m an abstract artist excepting all commissions!
I also have a Crocs Jibbitz charm coming out as well! 🎉
If you see it retweet it!
This brain surgery has left me with nothing but free time so I am back to creating y’all!!

I’ve been putting off getting something to put my Father’s ashes in for months now.
I just didn’t want to do it because… idk it made him being gone more of a reality.
But I needed him with me for Father’s Day and His birthday (20th)
So here we are. My baby is with me… ♥️
Today makes it 2 years since brain surgery!🧠
Year 1= scary & challenging.
Year 2= adjustment & hope.
I’m here doing things I thought I’d never be able to again.
Walking, talking, teaching,creating, playing volleyball & THRIVING! Thank you God.

Neurosurgeon appointment update:
-The surgeon believes it is benign (non cancerous)
-He is very hopeful about surgery and me regaining my eyesight after the removal.
-I will be setting a date once we figure out what works for my village!
Thank you all for your prayers 💛✨
