10 days 'til our halloween party, Cursed Visuals. How are we doing on costumes, babes? 👹 Inspo by the iconic @sashavelour
spooky creative friendships are the best 👻
working with the incredibly talented @borrowlucid.eth to concept this idea for the @crowdmuse Cyberphysical Brands contest.

"We already have countless ways to measure value—proof of work and proof of stake, etc. Yet so much of what we truly value remains immeasurable. This garment is based on the idea of visualizing "soft skills", and it is a physical stand-in for a virtual hug. Flowing and soft, it’s not only comforting to wear but also a statement piece, embodying the power of self-love in a tangible, playful way. Those who wear the Virtual Hug garment will also have the opportunity to gather together in a virtual space, where we can give and share these virtual displays of affection with each other"

Last night, I hosted another episode of collective inquiry and today I'm so full of joy at how the event completely exceeded my expectations.

I partnered with Regab Haven, a physical therapy clinic in brooklyn that focuses on recovery and holistic healing. I met the owner of the clinic after I tore a tendon in my pinky, and we quickly bonded over our shared belief that community building is both powerful and needed in fitness. So we tapped our networks to host an evening dedicated to exploring all the ways health, wellness, fitness, and sports impact our lives and emotional landscapes.

Conversations ranged from gender expression to coaching styles, meditation to combat sports. 🏀🥊⚽️🕺🏽

In light of the devastating hurricanes, especially in Florida, I’ve been thinking a lot about the emotional weight climate change places on us. It’s hard to know how to respond when disaster strikes—most of us feel small, powerless, and even overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all. But I also believe in the strength of shared experience.

I’m hosting a gathering to explore the emotional landscape that climate change creates within us—our fears, our hopes, and the small glimmers of light that can fuel our desire for change. While this conversation won’t immediately result in policy changes, I hope it gives us the space to reflect, process, and find slices of hope to carry forward.

If you can’t make it, I’d still love for you to contribute by sharing a question or observation. Your thoughts will help guide our discussion, and I hope this gives us all a moment of connection in the midst of chaos.

Let’s explore these feelings together: https://lu.ma/zmyhoono
what new doors are you excited to open this week?
day 7: ✅✅✅ i "stretched" my understanding of combat sports, by taking my friends krav maga class. it was awesome that she had people from so many backgrounds (boxers, muy thai, wrestling) all learning how to do self defense 💕 thanks @afrochicks for hosting such an awesome week, and encouraging us all to move our bodies! till next time, coach 🫡
A night where creative misfits and tech culture collide in the heart of Bushwick 👹
@afrochicks day 6️⃣: where i am spiritually vs where i am literally.

no good hills near me, so i got disrespectful with resistance on the pelaton 🚵‍♀️
recasting here, bc this is the exact kind of "career pivoting" i'm excited about.... sure, there's some graphic design with the marketing, but its creating ambiance, taking over a space, building a world that i'm really hoping to do more of. of course, there's the voice in my head saying, "don't share these moodboards bc what it you can't execute it 100%" but i'm trusting my gut. i know i've built amazing sets before, that i can work with the budget i set, and i can do this 👹
moodboard for the set i'm planning to build at 110 studios on 10/26. RSVP if you want to see it live: https://lu.ma/khf7w5yx
if you're seeing this in your feed, i would love to see you become a member of Times New Worldᵀᴺ https://warpcast.com/~/channel/timesnewworld/join?inviteCode=1AE2Q2CvCskidwQtphNeEw
@afrochicks day 5: doing one of my favorite things, jumping rope! its one of my favorite ways to work out bc its so equipment friendly (you technically don't need a rope....lol), and easy to do if you're traveling. plus, jumping rope gets your feet ready to be agile AF during shadowboxing or sparring 🦋
@afrochicks challenge day 3 - featuring cardio of your choice! Still healing from some plantar fasciitis so i've been doing these cute lil pelaton circuits and this is my fave to sneak in between calls.
🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼 trust the process. it's ok to be you and growth comes in seasons
@afrochicks challenge day 2 ✅

i never film myself bc i rarely look cute working out, but i set a goal for myself of doing a max set of 10 pull-ups by december, and here i am at very near 8 🤗 maybe ill make my goal a max set of 12 instead
i am in the midst of a career pivot, exploring the ways i can do "graphic design" or "brand building" outside of making a logo, a website, or something static. I'm excited about experiences, creating spaces that surprise, haunt or inspire.

I am putting all the sweat equity I can afford into hosting tech events about non-technical things. My thesis is that tech is too insular, and it desperately needs more exposure to the issues or the scene's that people truly care about. These events will be iterative and experimental, and I am building this completely grassroots. If you want to accelerate this future with me, comment below. I'm gonna need all the co-conspirators I can get 💚
day 1 of the higher athletic challenge with @afrochiks

Can't say enough how amazingly organized this is, from the videos to the circuits themselves 👌🏽 plus seeing how other athletes like to train is always fun for keeping me well rounded during off-seasons
Attention NYC futurists, brand builders, and over-thinkers!

I've been busy scheming and dreaming all September long, and I'm so excited to debut our Salon Seriesᵀᴺ. This series is designed to bring us all together to imagine what the future should look, feel, sound, and taste like. Take a look and what we've got on deck, and it would mean the world to see you at one of our events 💚

"Social media should make you feel more enmeshed in your social circles, not less" -- quote of the year. Think of all the times you've been in public, scrolling on your phone, and oblivious to everything around you?

@isharif and I had the most lovely conversation about what's broken with social media, and I truly enjoyed learning about his ideas for the future. I'd love to see more platforms in the future leverage both location and interest based data, as well as a better reflection of our dynamic social circles (and not just an accumulation of everyone we've ever met).
https://lu.ma/khf7w5yx ​A nostalgic allure, the demise of demure. Some curses are too irresistible to escape. If halloween is your favorite thing ever, then this is the party for you to see and be seen 👹

it took me a minute to read and fully digest this incredible article from @rileybeans but HFS– there’s a lot of ideas in here that i won’t be able to un-hear for a long time: https://app.t2.world/article/cm0y62pxc8674511zmcclu5148q

my tasting notes:
(i). i finally feel like i’m not crazy for finding quests boring AF. as a non-gamer and non-developer, i have struggled to understand the popularity of quests, which i chalked up to just not being a gamer. however, i do understand “fun” as a motivator, and that framework is powerful

(ii). the future is an experience economy 🫰🫰🫰 brands are no longer just logos and products—they’re launchpads for experiences. I'm bullish on accelerating collective storytelling (meme-making), cultural activations (events), and ritual design for the sake of more fun world building

(iii). "Collaborative play is additive to community care, not extractive" as a north star for all brand builders (in house, out of house) to keep in mind
is there a channel for shaming web3 teams who have websites that prioritize vibes/design > accessibility? 🤔
