Official

After months of rigorous labor and back and forth, my website is officially up and running!

I had a great designer from London working on my site, Lola Adebayo. She was so great to work with and is super talented. She's also looking for more graphic design work, so if you like my site, hit her up.

All I want for Christmas, is you.

Distant Relatives

I'm currently listening to the very smooth sounds that are a result of an amazing musical pairing. Nas and Damian Marley have joined melodic forces to create an album, "Distant Relatives", with a distinctive sound and feel. It couples the reggae vibes of a Marley son with the lyrical prowess of a hip-hop icon.

I highly recommend scooping up this album, you won't regret it.

The Element

Sir Ken Robinson continues to amaze me. His book, "The Element" is currently making me a better person. I love it, and I'm only on the first chapter.

Here's a quick exercpt: "The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn't need to be reformed -- it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions."
