Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo, King Tut, was inspired by my Dad. Growing up with his absence taught me to find strength within myself. King Tut represents self-leadership, legacy, and resilience, a reminder that I’m the ruler of my own destiny, no matter where I come from.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

If my ink could speak, it would tell the untold stories of my ancestors. The pain, power, and pride they carried. We’re all born with millions of ancestors, and my tattoos give voice to their legacy. Each piece is a tribute to where I come from and a reminder that I am the living proof of their survival and strength.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning the $25,000 would give me the time and resources to grow my career and create real change. Inspired by The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation and its mission to “Be Positive,” I’d give back to my community, families most importantly children facing hard times. This prize will fuel my purpose turning my passion into impact for those less fortunate. Thank you for this opportunity!
