There’s so much going on in the world—and in my life—right now. Honestly, it feels like everyone is carrying something heavy. Jobs come and go. Things break and need fixing. Kids get in trouble or just need a little motivation to keep going. And let’s face it—the U.S. feels like it’s in chaos.

My Uncle Philip Dewayne Robinson is my hero. He's faced incredible challenges – a bus accident as a child, a brutal robbery – yet he radiates strength and resilience. He taught me to rise above adversity and keep moving forward, no matter what.

This weekend, I watched 3 generations of my family work together doing music and art. It was a beautiful moment that I realized had to be curated. My brother and I spoke on it afterwards and came to the understanding that we are the glue that holds the family together. In order for moments like this to happen, someone has to say, “come over today, I’ll set some equipment up downstairs and let’s make some music!”

Let's be honest, family is a big deal. Whether we like it or not, it shapes who we are and how we see the world. I’m hopelessly optimistic when it comes to my family.  We struggle, have disagreements, and don’t see eye to eye on many things just like any other family. But when a cry for help goes out, there is always someone ready to act.

We named the building “Rockwell No. 8” out of our partnership with legendary B-Girl Honey Rockwell and her Rockwell Dance Academy. My brothers, some good friends and I did the remodel ourselves. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were moving the furniture in our dining and living rooms to create film studio sets in my house.
