When I was a child I was a care free dreamer as I said before, in the late 90s all that came to an end when one of my best friends Jherrius “Lover” Smith lost his life at 11 years old.

Last November, my girlfriend and I experienced one of the worst things imaginable. We lost our son, Aizen Caleb Carmona, who was diagnosed with Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome) and sadly passed away before we ever had the chance to meet him—he was stillborn.

While working on a project with the Adidas Futures Team in Berlin, I lived the research: interviews, shadowing athletes and ordinary Berliners, and doing immersion exercises with people from different religions, genders, and walks of life.

My early childhood was filled with a constant flow of cartoons, toys, and comics. My earliest memories are of watching the Batman 1966 tv show and realizing there were comic books based on the character. And actually, the comics were the inspiration for the tv show. A few years later I discovered Japanese cartoons in the form of Voltron and Robotech. Read more>>

I’ve been through a lot of tough times and made some not-so-great decisions that once made me see the world as a place of torment. But recently, I decided to commit myself to God again and it totally changed how I see things. Read more>>
