In the summer of 2016, I was desperate for a creative outlet after the downfall of my three and half years long romantic relationship and the collapse of my first business. I was in a tough place in my life.

So, that’s kind of what this series is all about.
And now it’s been one year since I’ve started this journey. And it’s been really fun.
From writing lyrics and raps, to my silly dance moves, to learning to play the guitar and ukulele, to my pun-filled skits and corny as a cornfield jokes, to exploring what I can create visually,
