ABOUT

I WANTED TO FIND A PLACE TO FOCUS MY ENERGY ON THAT WAS POSITIVE. WHEN I REALIZED THAT I WAS BEING SHUT DOWN OR MARGINALIZED CONSISTENTLY , IT WASN'T SITTING WELL WITH ME AT ALL. I GREW UP WITH PARENTS THAT I WITNESSED DAILY GET TREATED SIMILARLY FROM THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN WORSE FROM OUR FAMILY.

WHERE, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WOULD HAVE INTERNALIZED THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID TO MAKE ME SHIRK, INSTEAD I TRY TO PROCESS WHAT IS SAID. EVALUATE HOW MUCH TRUTH IS BEHIND THE COMMENT & THE PERSON'S INTENTION WAS BEHIND IT.

THE INITIAL SPARK CAME FROM A PLACE OF WANTING TO PROVE I COULD COMPREHEND AND PLAY THE GAME. I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO COMPETE OR PROVE ANYTHING. I WANT TO FOCUS ENERGY ON PASSING ON INFORMATION I WISH WOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO ME. I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUE THE CULTURE OF INFORMATION BLOCKING.

THIS PROJECT IS DEDICATED TO STEPHANIE ROSE CARDOZA (ROWAND) AND JOSEPH HENRY GARCIA, TWO OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE I HAVE MET TO THIS DAY. THEY LIVED IN A WORLD WHERE CIRCUMSTANCES/RESOURCES/

SOCIAL ECONOMIC BOUNDARIES DIDN'T EXIST. THEIR GENIUS COULD HAVE BEEN SEEN CAUSE IT WAS ENDLESS.
