The boys from Canada Got Sole were off celebrating a sneaker championship like every true champ, by going to Disney, so I had the pleasure of kicking it with streetwear legend, Nicky Diamonds at a special event for Nazem Kadri @ Exclucity.

 

 

Aside from covering the event for CGS, I got to hang out with the good folks over at Exclu, meet Nicky Diamonds, Nazem Kadri and protect a fresh grapefruit from strangers and fruit flies. Good times.

 

Ps. The shoes are mine, they're still deadstock and I have the receipt from Goodfoot still 🤓

 

 

 

Humbled to be featured amongst some notable names in Canadian sneaker culture. Much love Complex & Josh Walker!

You know the vibes. Episode 115: Here

 

 

 

CF Eaton Centre (Toronto) kicked off the grand opening of their new creative hub "Streaming At CF" with some of the biggest YouTube personalities in the country, including Brampton's own 4YE. I had the chance to chop it up with them in this dope live space in between them recording live, selling merch and letting fans kick random freestyles. Yup, it was a good day. 

 

 

Thank you 194 Group & Shez for the opportunity 🙏

I had the opportunity to speak with Isaiah Washington as he took to the red carpet for the opening night of Toronto Black Film Festival 2017 where he serves as Official Ambassador. Isaiah talked to me about music, #BlackLivesMatter and of course, Toronto Black Film Fest! 

Isaiah has starred in Grey's Anatomy and many feature films such as "Clockers", "Crooklyn" and "Girl 6" all directed by Spike Lee. He also is an accomplished author, husband and activist.  

I had the opportunity to talk about the #Demaraissance and why Norman Powell needs more minutes! Thank you Duane Watson, Kat, Dave & Dill for the great convo as always. 

The full episode is available on Bell Fibe, Channel 1.

Picked these up on release date earlier this year, one of my favourite pairs from the Jordan x OVO collection (including unreleased pairs). 

The black pair looks really clean as well, but there is something about white leather that is so nice.

Energy ☄️is an interesting thing, isn't it? Sometimes we look/wait/work for that "big" moment that changes things in our life, whether it be professional or personal. But, I'm learning to really appreciate all the small steps that subtly pile up and make that big moment #comeoutofnowhere. For me, my passion for the game of 🏀 started when I was about 7-8 years old. I idolized players like Michael Jordan and Shaq, they were larger than life and had super human powers. It continued when I played for my city (Brampton at the time) at the OBA (Ontario Basketball Association) Provincial Championships years later. I have so many great memories of my Dad taking me across the province for games and tournaments. I could go on, but salute if you've read this far on an IG post. These key moments helped me further develop my passion for sport and love for basketball. My drive, skill set and passion for music kicked in eventually leading me to a few unique opportunities. This past summer I was the official "Internal Reporter" for @nike Crown League (first one ever in 🇨🇦), I captured photos, video and did interviews with NBA players, Olympians, local legends and more. So thankful for each step along the way C. Rankine & D. Gibson!  All of these experiences undoubtedly prepared me for everything that I have in my journey.

 

Last night, I was blessed and rewarded yet again. I never had a season's pass to Canada's Wonderland growing up, but Mama... I'm on a ride 

Toronto's R&B Party. 

November. 

With it's inaugural season officially underway, I'm proud to have lent my voice to this video & campaign.

Congrats RJ, Jesse, Drew and the whole Megacity Basketball family!
