Reporter Chuck Adams did an interview with me about what I have been up to, my upcoming show and a new mural I will be directing with young adults. It made the cover story. Pretty cool. Click on the image to read the story.

Check out this video with Global Inheritance

Last summer this film crew came in and shot a story about GI. Eric asked me to come down and participate. The dude works works non-stop so pay no attention to the deer-in-the-headlight-looks. Apparently this is supposed to be shown on Virgin Atlantic Airlines.

He’s the host [...]

My sister and I had chosen to live out an extraordinary event. With the help of my mother and sister, I was able to present this artwork to Jill Scott when she performed in LA at the Gibson. That evening [...]
