Message of the day: Introverted and socially awkward people can be part of community too.

Yo siri play Golden Hour by MIKE, word to Darryl the skin was glowing n the hair was indeed nappy. We back outside witit after what feels like forever (it's only been a month but I swear everything been feeling super distant lately, time ain real anyway tho, u already kno).

For this episode I got the homegirl Lorryn on to talk about some of her history as an artist and how it's landed her at a place where she primarily makes crafts. We touch on a range of topics such as sustainability within art, mental blocks that may stop us from creating, along with our relationships to social media and the internet. She's a person who's seen a lot of my work and progression over the past few years and has always been willing to pass feedback on any thoughts or ideas I have brewing, so much love and appreciation folk.

Lorryn runs a business called Red Lotus Collage where she sells various different items ranging from keychains, buttons, greeting cards, stickers, and more; so if you lookin for a nice gift to pass someone def tap in *salute*.

IF YOU'RE READING THIS DESCRIPTION, much love and appreciation to all the viewers n people supporting the craft. I don't think I've ever said it on camera, but y'all really inspire tha kid to keep going. I know that it can SEEM like I don't like people most of the time, but I really do rock with y'all.

I also recognize it isn't fair to all the people who have been supporting (as well as all my guests) if I make the videos private; so imma keep em around cuz I'm a man of the people (I may hide em like easter eggs tho cuz that's also true to my character). We see what happens *shrug*.

LASTLY, this is not an ad for Krispy Kreme donuts!Funny enough though, we actually ended up sliding to the local Krispy Kreme after shooting. Turns out if you say something enough times you'll end up wanting to get it *shrug*, I did say no free promo last time tho; so Krispy Kreme... you already know where to holla. #getatmedawg
