Remote Work Saves the Day!

 People tend not to understand. Being an Artist means that you get no days off. It’s a 24/7 kind of job whether a Creative Commissioning Artist, a Teacher, Administrator, Advocate or Affiliate there is no way to clock in and clock out of Inspiration.

It just hits you and you have to be ready. That’s why it’s helpful to just check out of life and into a hotel at times. Not to vacation, but to get a good night's rest, wake up and actually get things done. Maya Angelou, Pulitzer Prize Writer said that she couldn’t write in her home because she was surrounded by too beautiful of things. I get it. There are layers to inspiration in if you’re not in the right setting it can mess with your mental space too.

Getaway, not to Escape Reality — but to become it.” This is one of my many #beebodi quotes about wellness vacations, remote working travel excursions. Travel is a way of life and renders culture usually inspired by the surroundings, history, people and energy of a places. This is why hotels go to great lengths to “curate” their spaces to look like galleries, lounges, club venues, VIP rooms and the like more so that just a bed-and-breakfast. It’s meant to reflect the kind of people that pay to stay and should invoke you to tell others about your experience.

As a writer and creative, color scheme, texture, artifacts and architecture are what gets my vote. So this time, I pulled one out of the hat. After a misfire — I landed on Hotel June near LAX airport. It’s right in the Loyola University neighborhood and is the perfect setting for catching up on articles and assignments before heading back home for the holidays in DC. Check it out!


It’s nice to switch the vibe up, lay in bad and work while catching up on Hulu. Then sit up at the desk and take a zoom call. Read emails at the Breakfast Bar. And then kick it on the Peleton at the gym in between. I coudn’t have asked for a better work-play-stay. It beats washing dishes, random distractions, feeding the parking meter at coffee shops or dodging calls from family and friends so you can meet that deadline. So what do you think?

Worth it — or naa?

Don't Board that PLANE! ...without knowing this Travel Trick.

  Are you ready for this one Travelers?? Did you guess it? – It’s bedbugs. Where do they come from and how do you get rid of them? Could you imagine flying across the country to be with loved ones or family members and bring Critters into their homes? into your Hotel room? or worse…all the way back home with you? Going from Holiday Cheer and laughter to itchiness, swelling red marks all over your Body. How does this even happen? Bedbugs can cling to clothing or other personal items (like backpacks or jackets) undetectably and be transferred into suitcases in the airport, on the train, bus, or likewise. International Travel renders diverse unhygienic practices, foods, smells, and contamination. Enjoy a Trip to Paradise for the Holiday Season:  Book Your Next Trip with Kayla Bedbugs can crawl into luggage if a suitcase is placed on or near an infested area or if a Hotel room goes uninspected upon arrival. Placing luggage on the bed or floor instead of using a luggage rack (they ...

The Best of DC: Busyboys and Poets

 A STAPLE of Washington DC. For any Artist, happens to the be thee "Busboys and Poets". Yes, they serve Mambo Sauce here too.  This place is near and dear to my heart because it was where I got one of my first jobs while in my youth over the summer. I wasn't quite drinking age which was required for serving alcohol as a Waitress, but Terrance hired me anyway. There, I didn't quite get the essence of being within a TRIBE which is their model instead of "STAFF"--until after I left the job. But I loved it with every ounce of me.  I paid close attention to the flow of things and enjoyed the vibe of Mediterranean Culture mixed with Soul Food cuisine while local-made art hung on the wall and performed during the nearest open mic. I was enamoured by how the restaurant held the essence of DC right there it's nook: corporate lunches held in the terrance, indoor and outdoor seating for friends having happy house  a bookstore sponsored by Global Exchange--a non-pro...

The Encounter ||| ^^^ |||

Black History Month Dueces. 22 ---  I felt some type of way... I'd just finished Breakfast ~ A French/Kenyan Crepe, Potatoes + Grilled Tomato, Steamed Carrots w/ Mango Juice, and a sip of Black Coffee. I longed for the beach, but there was work to BE DONE -- the warm water and waves, kites flying in the air, and White Sand so soft you melt into it with each step. But all in all, I knew I had TO get to it! I came to Malindi - not to witness a wedding but a Playwright, an Artist, a Friend, a Host. And every day since I agreed to jump on board, I'd be rocking and rolling. Time is over the Essence. This weekend is the COOL DOWN>>> Watamu, a PLACE so LOVELY + Serene. Energizing & Free. Tomorrow, I book it. Nairobi. Then HOOME. <3 to MD. Day #1 Well, I made it. The Motherland. God willing ~ you cross the Atlantic Sea + Land Safely and discover that there is no reason to Fear. The images of poverty, lack with strips of refugee camp life, beggars and thieves -- enlarged...
