Well not really we have just been doing art. (Don't you hate ppl that write about doing art lol) Well here is a brief update on whats been going on...
-Johnston is living in South Philly and working on travel plans. He has numerous shows approaching that we will post up ASAP as well as a more concrete and stable band. The band is really growing into an amazing force. He will update later with more details.
-Mia is being Mia. She graduated from Temple with a degree in African American Studies (YESSSSS) and was the speaker at graduation (although she informed none of us lol) She t is working on travel plans, as usual and beginning to work on her next steps in her journey.
-Dr. Mother Covert, hmmm where do I begin. She has graduated for Eugene Lang College the New School for Liberal Arts with a degree in... PERFECTION. N but really she graduated with so many honors I don't even know where to begin. She has been accepted into quite a few grad programs but I will let her tell you who she decides. Not to mention she has been awarded grants and scholarships with more zeros then I could fathom. I'm so proud and excited about whats in store for her.
-Erin is another graduate, she graduated from Fashion Institute of Technology where she studied children's wear. Her final collection was show in the FIT fashion show and it was amazing. The show was incredible, I was blown away. Her work has evolved to be eco-friendly and passionate. In addition one of her dresses was purchased at an auction by the Ambassador to Ethiopia's wife. Erin also plans to travel soon and is working this summer in Conn.
-Olatunji is finishing up at University of the Arts but is wrking hard on some new pieces for a show in September. He is also preparing to expand his collection to our community overseas so look out for his work and his amazing spirit.
-HipHopMonaLisa is ready to finish off the year right. I am NOW officially a college senior and I am ready to kill this final semester. I was accepted into a program to study in Morocco and live there for 7 weeks. Also I wrapped up an amazing production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" where I played Ariel. (Thanks again for all the love and support from the friends and fam) I'm now reading and working on my poetry because I am ready to perform again, it's been awhile but I'm back. I have soo many things I want to work on but I'm taking it one step and one moon at a time.
I will update more later as for now just know that the Peppermint is still here and we are still grinding our gears!
