The 412 Drop
The 412 Drop pays homage to my city — Pittsburgh — and to every real person out here trying to feed their family, build their bank account, and secure their future, instead of getting handed generic Etsy templates by people getting rich off you buying into their bullshit "hustle." I've been broke and stuck with nothing real to work with, so I built the thing I needed — no inflated numbers, no fake screenshots, no bullshit, just real information to move your endeavor forward, and just remember my words: 
Disclaimer: yes, I charge for this. I built a business from nothing and it means something — so if you're wondering why I don't just give it all away for free, ask yourself the same question before you start yours. If working for free sounds like the dream, business might not be your thing.

WHY I WRITE
My writing has changed. I’m no longer interested in inventing distance between myself and the page.
These books examine who I am, where I come from, and what it means to be Black, female, and forged in Pittsburgh, America. Prelude to the Crescendo, Negro, and the third book complete that reckoning.
COMING SOON/PRE-AMAZON ORDERS BEGIN 7/22/2026

BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
My work is no longer publicly exhibited. Each collection is presented privately by appointment to discerning collectors and design professionals seeking something singular, substantial, and impossible to ignore.

THE DAILY FUCKCABULARY 
Sharp words. Twisted definitions. Real-life chaos turned into something funny, useful, and slightly unhinged.
