Empathy in Color

“Maya Angelou's quote, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel,” emphasizes the importance of emotions and how they can leave a lasting impression on others. The quote suggests that the way we make people feel can be more meaningful than what we say or do, and that it can help create positive connections and a more understanding world.”

I am a firm proponent of fostering significant and constructive relationships while demonstrating genuine empathy towards others. The importance of building connections that are not only impactful but also uplifting cannot be overstated. By prioritizing these values, we can cultivate an environment where individuals feel valued and understood, ultimately leading to more harmonious interactions and collaborations.

My commitment lies in promoting the establishment of profound and affirmative relationships, coupled with a deep sense of empathy. It is essential to recognize that the quality of our connections with others plays a crucial role in our personal and professional lives. By embracing empathy, we can bridge gaps, resolve conflicts, and enhance our ability to relate to one another, thereby enriching our collective experiences.

I passionately support the idea of nurturing meaningful and positive relationships while embodying empathy in our interactions. This approach not only strengthens our bonds with others but also contributes to a more compassionate society. By actively engaging in empathetic practices, we can create a culture that values understanding and support, leading to more fulfilling and productive relationships in all aspects of life.

This interpretation invites viewers to reflect on the significance of inclusiveness, as it plays a crucial role in fostering understanding and compassion among individuals. The interplay of colors not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also deepens the viewer's appreciation for the emotional ties that bind us together.


The emotional richness of the artwork resonates deeply, as it implies that the various colors reflect the empathy inherent in our relationships. This notion underscores the vital role of inclusiveness, reminding us that our connections thrive when we embrace one another's experiences and feelings. By engaging with the artwork, we are encouraged to recognize the beauty of our shared humanity, fostering a sense of belonging and understanding that transcends individual differences.

The Romantic Consultant

Professional desires

  My professional desires are entirely independent of my past professional experiences. I have no intention of re-entering the field of educational services, a sector I have not engaged with since 2018. It is important to clarify that I have consistently communicated my decision not to return to Malcolm X Park, a place I left in 2015.

Intensity through purpose

    On this day, September 24, 2024, which falls on a Tuesday, “the color dark red encapsulates the themes of intensity, passion, and determination. This rich shade resonates with the drive and enthusiasm that characterize individuals who are committed to their objectives. It serves as an emblem of strength and resilience, inspiring a sense of urgency and purpose in the journey toward achieving one's goals.” My mission is to elevate the visibility of individuals and organizations, engage with their target audience, and help them achieve their business goals through strategic consulting services.

Youtube Channel

“My YouTube channel, which was unexpectedly removed yesterday, had no violations or issues that warranted such action. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my time to sharing my digital art and offering consulting services through this platform. The abrupt removal of my channel has left me perplexed and frustrated, as I have always adhered to the community guidelines and worked diligently to build a positive presence.” Whomever thinks that these types of experiences are humorous are mistaken. I have been providing services as a consultant since I was 15 years old and as an African - American, I am quite frankly tired of experiencing discrimination which I have been experiencing for over 30 years.
