Moving forward…
Posted by TastyKeish | Filed under Blog
I made a decision earlier this week. I sort of quit my “day job”.
I still take shifts of course, but on my own terms. My will was being bent towards that of others and after 10 years I had to straighten up and see that creating my destiny requires changes. So I did it.
Almost immediately and against my normal worry-wort nature, I was reborn with optimism and focus. I’m ready for the world…literally.
On my recent birthday, I looked back at everything leading up to it, to the exact day. A series of thoughts and actions have me realizing that nothing could happen exactly how it is now, without the things that have occurred in the past. But willingness to change and mold my destiny propels me forward.
Some days will be tougher with leaner pockets. But, fulfilling your dreams is worth it. For me, everyday I can spend trying to become my best TastyKeish is a day well spent…
I will not hope things into existence, I will manifest them.

After long days and nights running around town, going from show to show, partaking in food and drink, and free swag at every turn, I narrowed down 3 favorites of the 21 videos we shot and edited for our societyHAE.com coverage of SXSW!
First up, I interviewed fly Dominican mami, Maluca Mala first lady of Mad Decent Records. We talked about the roots of her music and her fly new video for her single, El Tigaraso.

My next pick of SXSW interview faves is my fave Sound Bwoy, reggae/dub/Hip Hop artist JahDan BlaKKaMooR. During the interview he was funny and super appreciative that we came out to interview him, so when I asked him to freestyle this is what he did:

On the last day of SXSW, I was minding my own business and fell into the psychadelic rabbit hole that is Gordon Voidwell. This tight knit electro-hip-pop-rock group had me feeling like one the family. You can see our “family” time right here:
