Connect What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My most recent tattoo was inspired by my mental health journey, focusing on my graffiti to heal my soul. The tattoo is a large scale, colored tattoo of graffiti pier in Philadelphia a place where I spend time decompressing and painting. The tattoo reminds me to take a step outside to breathe, and that life is full of adventure, and it reminds me to keep going.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

It’s a rock ‘n’ roll story on skin that is filled with life lessons, maturity and love. It’s about where I’ve been what I’ve done, the things that I was involved with. Some of my tattoos represent milestones in my life. I want to be able to remember my life when I can’t really remember anymore but I’ll have the memories on my skin.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to continue to help my community here in Kensington Philadelphia. I am a youth mentor, volunteering with community gardens with at risk youth who have been through the prison system. I would spend the money helping their gardens & their after school program cooking for their homework club which I enjoy doing. I would also spend the money on going back to school for criminal justice so I can continue my advocacy for kids who have been through the system here in Philly.
