"Stay True to Yourself..." "...No Matter What The Circumstances Are"

This branched into a desire to help heal stagnated creativity and low self-worth within underrepresented communities through visual character art and stories. As an artist, I believe there is a power to make a meaningful difference in the world – and with this, providing more black character representation in animation, video games and fantasy has become a strong motivator for me and Golden Muse as a whole.

The thought of merging fantasy with reality has always been a fascinating concept since childhood, and I believe these imaginative genres provide the power of escapism few others offer. But currently within these genres, the environment is low vibratory and outright hostile toward black audiences attempting to seek this illusive escapism, and most importantly, there is little empowering mainstream representation, causing a subconscious elevation of low self-worth and rejection.

I believe the enjoyment one finds in visual stories/art offers more than shallow entertainment and can potentially bring a greater understanding of the true self. Great visual art can open one up to unlimited inspiration and a better sense of confidence, an element many seek and receive when indulging in these imaginative genres. Characters help inspire and awaken the true journey of the human experience through metaphoric archetypes, and my intent is to provide similar avatars for people who seek this on a spiritual and generational level.

Though Golden Muse, the goal is to provide a proper avenue of escapism for all people, where true empathy and understanding is enhanced, no matter what the fictional character looks like. Elevated joy and inspiration should be the norm for anybody playing a video game, watching an animation, or enjoying a fantasy – and this is the goal Golden Muse strives to help make default in our world.
