After my first tattoo, I’ve always waited to be sure the next one would be meaningful enough to permanently mark my skin.

Enter For FreeMy latest tattoo was inspired by my grandmother’s perspective on my upbringing. I was raised in Brooklyn’s Ebbets Field apartments, where Jackie Robinson once broke barriers. But even after those walls fell, the struggle remained to protect soft flowers growing through the concrete.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?If my ink could speak, it would tell the story of survival and beauty born from struggle. It would speak of my roots in Ebbets Field, where strength was carved into me by concrete and culture. It would whisper my grandmother’s wisdom and crown the resilience passed down through generations. Amid the chaos, the flowers still bloomed.
What would you do with the $25,000?With $25,000, I’d take care of a few small responsibilities, but most importantly, I’d finally take a solo trip to Japan. I’ve always been passionate about immersing myself in different cultures, and Japan has been at the top of my list for years. This trip would be about self-growth, peace, and experiencing a place I’ve studied, admired, and dreamed of exploring firsthand.
