What was a project in 2017, completing my journalism minor, turned into a newsletter and platform sharing my life and journey through art history, graduate school, curation, museum administration, and community building. A lot of what I share is about my process and the work I’m doing in real time.
Current projects include: Archival Narrative Manuscript Writing, Conference Presentations, & Online Community Building

Long Term Project Collaboration
Long-Term Fiscal Sponsorship is the way of the future to preserve the voice and independence of art history, culture, and criticism. Active projects include travel, community building, visibility, publication, research, and building legitimacy by taking chances. Every project I take on and support through my platform is an opportunity to learn, grow, and do something meaningful.
You have the opportunity to open doors, help build relationships, and gain VIP access to the platform and me as a lifestyle curator.

Coming from my academic background with a now completed BA and MA in Art History and Contemporary practices, I am maintaining the technical skills that allow fluidity across social platforms, academic spaces, and presentation oppertunities including exhibitions, conferences, social gatherings, and openings

Coming from California to New York was once a dream, and then I completed my MA and found the gap I wanted to fill in my career: Black Art journalism, curation, and criticism.
To get there, I have to build a platform and portfolio. The goal and steps forward in 2026 are to align and adhere to a strategic plan building relationships with galleries, museums, and artists in ways that support representation in contemporary art

Hi- Welcome to your tour guide giving you the skinny of how to enjoy your visit on your next art outing. I’ll link you to the map, special events and programming, and must-see segments in public programming for your exhibition opening, art fair, gallery opening, gallery crawl night, or touring a special collection in a library.

Discounts and Deals are part of how locals get around the inflated prices around local events in their city IDNYC is a perfect example of the types of programs that discount museums, attractions, gardens, and other entertainment spaces for New Yorkers year-round
Exhibitions

These narratives help us build an understanding of how art and culture impact our communities and the individual. I would highlight the mission, goal, audience, and visiting information for visitors
Collecting Institutions highlight their collections and institutions through featured programming and loaned exhibitions. As the Frick Collection did for the Barkeley Hendricks exhibition, I would love to highlight the contemporary collections and connections that can be made to bridge art mediums, genres, politics, and material culture.

How many people consider the Gala circuit as the hot spot to be?
As our art collecting base grows younger, meeting patrons becomes a third-party market- imagine meeting your next donor or collector because they knew your Gala celebrating the next elevated artist in the institution and they wanted to share that space and learn more through your hospitality.
Behind the scenes look into the preparation, the artists being honored, and the trailblazing success of the previous year are attractive to the younger crowd- especially with the after-party to look forward to

What was the zoom again? What time is the talk? Is it accessible?
Think of me as the guide to the door, the seat, the space, and the community. I’m happy to facilitate a positive experience for people visiting for the first time
