In life some of us wear many career hats and I've worn a few in my careers. I’ve played the role of a fashion stylist, Visual Communication Artist and publicist for Casablanca Records.I have been honored to have worked for some of the greatest recording artists of my generation: Bob Dylan, Neal Diamond, Ringo Starr, Diane Warren, Berry Gordy, Michael Jackson, Prince, Lionel Richie, Hugh Masekela, Gladys Knight and The Pips, Donna Summer, George Clinton - Parliament Funkadelics, Larry Blackmon – Cameo, Jennifer Holliday and Lenny Williams. My newly acquired role is that of an inventor I have a Patent, which is the present role and purpose for my life.

In 2012 I had an epiphany a "God Thing" all because of The Jackson Five or you could say a MJ song "ABC" that's the evolution of Teachable Clothing. It was the reason for MJ and my paths crossing 5 times in his and my careers. I first met MJ when he was 12 years old at the Delaware Hotel in Chicago with a friend of mine Linda Tilghman Logan knew Weldon Mc Dougal who a Motown promotion man touring with The Jackson Five. I was making and selling African necklaces and MJ wanted one. What I've learned in life is that there are no coincidences in life. That everyone that touches your life is there for a reason to mold you and transform you into the purpose for your life. I'm not saying that it's works the same for all of us because I can only tell you what my experience have been. I do know that once I started to use my God given talent it turn my life around. Art has always been my first love and gift.
