A DIVINE CYCLE
the seeds of memory, germinating in stillness, sprouting with joy, and blooming into a sacred space where our stories live again.
🌱 It begins with a seed.
A seed is small, but inside it is memory, history, the knowing of our past. When we plant the seed, we are saying: we remember who we are, and we honor where we’ve come from.
Then comes germination — the waiting season. Sometimes it feels like stillness, sometimes like struggle. It is meditation and stagnation, side by side. The seed is buried, but it is not dead. In the quiet, in the dark, it is preparing.
Next comes the seedling. Fragile, tender, yet full of promise. This is the season of joy breaking through the soil. The seedling is our laughter, our songs, our play — joy that testifies, we are still here.
and finally, the bloom. When the flower opens, it shows the fullness of what was hidden in the seed. This is expression, testimony, artistry. This is when memory blossoms into beauty for all to see.
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

GONE BUT NOT FOURGOTTEN™
GONE BUT NOT FOURGOTTEN™
THE FOURT™ is a sacred space woven from the rich cultural fabric of Charlotte’s Black community.
It honors the people and places that are often forgotten. IT serves as a moment of reflection and a celebration of life.
THE FOURT is a space to pause, remember, and connect — a memory garden inspired by homegoing services. It is not just a structure — it’s a sanctuary, a place made just FOUR you.
this incredible opportunity has inspired a body of works that honors the overlooked oracles
