**Help Rebuild My Studio After a Devastating Robbery**

On June 29th, 2024, my studio was robbed, and I lost over $80,000 worth of equipment. Various items essential to my multiple professions were stolen. This experience has been incredibly stressful and overwhelming. Despite always securing my space and equipment, there was nothing I could do to prevent this incident.

It took me over 13 years to amass all of the equipment that was stolen, and I honestly don’t know how long it will take to replace everything. However, I am determined to put in the work again!

I recently moved to LA after losing my mother to COVID-19 in 2021. I came here to build my business and reach new heights, only to be robbed in the third year of my journey. If you know me or follow my work, you know how passionate I am about everything I do. I always extend a hand and carry an open heart to anyone who wants to learn or collaborate.

I don’t usually ask for help, but at this time, any donations to help rebuild my studio would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. I’ll see you all on the other side of this setback, smiling and shining brighter.
