Kindness begets kindness. So, wanted to create a space to share and amplify stories of kindness with the hope that it inspires a chain reaction.

When we started doing markets full time, we needed an eye catching display and a way to transport our furniture and vintage goods. We bought a 1967 Westwind camper and renovated it, turning it into a mobile boutique. It was a pretty unique approach to staging market displays and it became a great way for people to remember us.

I would say starting a non-profit benefit called “Art For Health”. A decade ago I went on a trip to Haiti with a good friend of mine as a photographer. I came back forever changed and wanted to create something which would help the people of Haiti. A group of my friends and I put on a benefit show with the artwork we created. The show raised $30K and is still going to this day. The million dollar mark is getting closer and closer. Read more>>

A few years back when COVID-19 had us all at home rethinking our future. My fiancé and I were sitting around thinking of more ways to be productive and/or to bring in more income. At the time, my company ShotByMK was on pause like 85% of all other businesses in Atlanta. Right before the pandemic, my client’s were heavily demanding studio sessions. I spent a lot of time/money renting out other studios to provide a desired experience for my clients. However, I realized I wasn’t profiting as much as I should or could be. Read more>>

Growing up I was in and out of over 100 foster homes. By the time I Was Eighteen I was a very angry lost individual. I was down visiting friends in Rifle Colorado, and I met Venda Ellis. She decided to take me under her wing. She unofficially adopted me. She started teaching me about things like nutrition, and herbalism. She was self-taught and amazing at it. She also taught me self worth, to love myself and be kind to the world. She helped me have faith in humanity again. It’s almost been 28 years and because of her every choice that I’ve made has led me to where I am. She saved a lost child. Read more>>

As a small business owner there are a lot of out of pocket expenses, especially when you are just starting out. See, I create custom shirts along with other items that require that I use heat transfer vinyl. So when I use my Cricut to create these designs I did not have heat press machine to use so I would use my regular old household iron. Heat press machines can be expensive, especially if you want a good quality one. Read more>>

As an artist, it’s often difficult to find the right avenues and connections to get your work seen and heard. I have been fortunate to have come across several people who have made such a difference in my artistic career. Just giving an artist a chance to showcase their talent can open so many doors for future gigs and opportunities. I am not quite where I want to be yet, but I am steadily working on my goals. To those who have given me a chance- thank you, and to those producers, directors, and businesses that I have yet to encounter- I’m ready! Read more>>
