About Me

.. I want to represent the people that are on their grind. For some, surviving is a grind. For others, perfecting their craft is a grind. When you’re devoted to your dreams, it becomes second nature. A model who doesn’t have enough money for headshots, but is always camera ready—my grind. An emcee can’t afford studio time, but is always writing rhymes in his notebook. He has all of his material memorized and has sharpened his skills—my grind. A writer that doesn’t own a computer, but finds resources to write her first book—my grind. A single father works two jobs to support his children—my grind. But it’s more than just the people. New ideals are formed when information is broken down to the finest particles. It’s in music, sports, fashion, and cultural issues. My grind is a resource for influential people that are committed to improving the standards of mainstream media outlets. A proactive response is warranted. Get involved.
