Salsa!!! Usted Abuso

Getting down to music is a daily fix for me. Once I hear some great music I need to get up and start dancing. Throw on some Michael Jackon and I'm busting his classic moves. Some James Brown, I'm shuffling my feet to the rhythm. Play me some salsa and I'm moving my legs and hips. One of my fav artists is Celia Cruz, La Reina de Salsa!!! Here is a track by her and Willie Colon that always makes me wanna pretend I'm in the middle of the dance floor. Get up and dance because it makes you happy, no lie.

Don't look back, look forward....

Inspiration comes from everywhere. One amazing source of inspiration God has blessed me with is family. My Tia Patsy is such an amazing women.

The Radiant Child!!

Growing up having an outlet of some sort is very important. Heck, having an outlet to express yourself at any age is important. I played basketball, video games, skated and had a bunch of other activities that kept me entertained. I still keep learning new things. I've tried painting, teaching myself the piano and sewing as some. You never know what will stick and can make you legendary. Well, Jean Michel-Basquiat played around with graffiti and through this activity he became a legend. Check out this awesome documentary on a talented brother.

Sugar pie honey bunch!!!!

Get down to this!!!

Teyana Taylor adidas Harlem GLC!!

Kev is the name and kicks are part of my game. adidas and Teyana Taylor came together and designed a pair of shoes called the Harlem GLC's. These give a voice to the women in the sneaker game. Women need more shoes and I'm glad sneaker companies such as adidas are creating more opportunities. Nice Kicks documented her sneaker release which you can check below!!
