The Pop-Hop

I never cared much for flowers. Growing up, my mom would fill every vase she had, for them only to last a week or so. It wasn’t until I moved away, that I longed for that familiarity. My work draws inspiration from the delicate dance of petals in bloom. Just like petals wither away and embrace new growth, my art speaks of transformation. I aim to mirror the beauty born out of sacrifice, the wisdom learned from familial roots, and the boundless potential of becoming anew, much like flowers reaching for the sun.🌻

MARCH 2ND
RSVP IN BIO

MY VOICE is an all ages children’s book by vocalist .

MY VOICE is a book of affirmations through words and playful sounding for Loving our unique voice. It was inspired by Odeya’s work as an embodied vocal coach, encountering too many stories from adults who were told in childhood they didn’t have a “good” voice. This book is meant for the reader as much as it is meant for the person being read to, in the hope that we all will remember the importance and magic of our Voice.

RSVP RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED.

MY VOICE is illustrated by .sunny!
