I was given a chance to do a live painting at the August Wilson House for BTAN, the Black Transforming Art Network that empowers our culture's artists. It was amazing and I am so grateful for the opportunity I was given. The painting that I created is for sale and you can reach out to me through email or text if you are interested.

First Place PHCSE SharkTank Winner
May 12, 2023
I am proud to say that I won first place in a pitch competition at PHCSE. This was an amazing opportunity and I am grateful to God and Penn Hills Charter for making this possible. Every child should have an opportunity like this. Being in an entrepreneurial school taught me confidence, problem-solving, and it taught me how to be me. From this competition, I received $2,000 which I will be putting straight into my business! I am very thankful and there is more to come for Rising Artists!- Destiny Folks
Journey to Freedom; African Gala
May 20, 2023
Journey to Freedom, a faith based ministry that helps more than the local communities. This Gala was to raise money for a CT Scanner in Kenya. I was raised to make a painting so it could be auctioned off and the proceeds go towards the CT Scanner. With such an amazing cause, how could I say no? The painting, shown in the picture, was auctioned off for $225. I am so glad I could assist in this wonderful cause.
