“Granny, what’s one of the things you’re proudest about the way Lisa turned out?”
“That she always has an idea about what she wants to do in her life, and she knows how to make that happen.”
“Mom, what’s one of your favorite things about Granny?”
“Granny always took care of everybody starting with the family and extending out into the community. That set my behavioral and moral compass for life.”
“What was she like when you were little?”
“She was a hellion. She took no tea for the fever. If anything wasn’t in order she was going to put it in order. She didn’t like seeing people done wrong or seeing the community messed up, she wanted everyone treated fairly with an opportunity to reach their full potential.”

"Lately I've been looking at the other side of things. We tend to look at the world with only our eyes, but I think it’s important to take a step back and look at things through other people’s eyes. I’m working on that every day."

“How did you discover these depths within yourself? I’d imagine it was a journey…”
“I would say that it’s a beginning-less journey and a beginning-less life and most likely with the amplification of multiple births and multiple lifetimes all adding up to this one moment of exquisite eternal now. In many ways I feel like that this life in particular, and there might be multiple ones happening simultaneously, but in this one in particular as Djamilla I’ve had the fortune and talent to live a very graceful scenario with the opportunities to travel and see the world and partake in sacred elements and temples and monasteries. The preciousness of experiencing the eternal essence of my soul and not just being fixed to one particular expression."

“I’ve been around the block. From Illinois to Seattle to Hawaii. I came around here to LA…and I’ve had a ball. I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon.”
Me and my freind spent a few hours last night trying out astrophotograpy. Upon returning home I discovered none of my star photos were usable so I wanted to try out a shadow filled edit on a self portrait. I saw an interesting place by a tree under a street light in the park, and went with this shadow focused edit.

"What excites you, Jimmy?"
"My passion is flowers. I've been creating flower gardens for the past 20 years."
"Tell me a little bit about your flower gardens.”
“Well, I’ll tell ya real quick. My mother hung herself when I was 3 years old over here in Noe Valley and my grandfather shot his brains out and my sister drank herself to death, so I opened up my third eye to the third and fourth dimension of the spiritual world. I can channel spirits and talk to the dead and the angels tell me what they want me to do. Twenty five years ago, the angels told me ‘Do these gardens.’ So I did the gardens, and then I did the whole street by myself. I actually made it in the shape of a cross. I had 40 planters going up and down Haight, all the way from Central to Stanyan. I had all these beautiful gardens for everybody. Everybody. Living and not living. The gardens are a form of healing energy to bring peace and comfort to people. Not so much maybe who the garden is dedicated to, but it reminds them of somebody. It’s like going to the cemetery, you see all the nice things people do— Well, you go to one of my gardens and it makes you feel something about a loved one that’s not with you or is in the spirit world."
“Realizing your dreams is simple. You just gotta do em. Everything is a dream. This is a dream. It’s a dream come true talking to you.”
“What’s special to you about Vietnamese food?”
“In my country we use fish sauce, very good. In USA they put ketchup on everything. When western food use rosemary we use ginger. Also, China has been involved in my country for more than 1,000 years so we know a little from Chinese cooking. We know how to make the baguette. In Vietnam they have all types of food: sour, bitter, sweet. Very strong flavors. They make it by love. In the middle of Vietnam is very cold so people like to eat very spicy food because it’s warms them up. In the north of Vietnam they make pho.”

"What do you want to be when you grow up?"
"She wants to be a lawyer."
"Nu uh! I wanna be a ballerina. No, a singer!"
"Why do you want to be a singer?"
"Cuz I could sing."
“I’ve been living in San Francisco for 35 years.”
“Do you have any advice about living here?”
“Let me tell you this, I don’t care if it’s hot. I don’t care if it’s cold. We have to take anything that comes from God no matter what.”

I just met Chris tonight. We bonded over building an IKEA bed. We're currently talking about his job doing event set-up and audio/video engineering. He's starting a new job soon moving on to bigger and greater venues. It's really cool to see such young people around doing so much with their lives. It's inspiring.
“I worked in Bayview for about 6 years but I grew up in Bakersfield, CA. My family is originally from Texas which is where the interest in agriculture comes from.”
“How you’d get interested in nutrition and cooking?”
“I have a twin sister and when we were sophomores in high school she got really sick and I was trying to make her well. We were almost running tests on each other. It’d be like, ‘You eat this, now tell me how you feel’. And so we started keeping food journals. I spent so much time doing that I figured I should do something with it. My mom and my grandmother have diabetes and so I was just kinda the resident nutrition person. Other than growing food, it’s the only thing that stuck. It’s just too innate to being human to ignore. Anyone can grow food and it just makes sense that this is the way I give back to my community. I really believe in the connection between wellness and food supply, and where stuff is coming from. If we can minimize the distance our food is coming from and reduce the amount of hands that it has to go through before it reaches our tables then we’re doing ourselves a real service.”

"I think one of my gifts is being highly passionate about what and who I care about. Whether it's showing up to teach yoga, fighting for more the environment, or just being there for my friends, I'm all in. I've been known to ramble on about things I care about. If I can inspire people on the mat, or in the world to be a little kinder and more compassionate in caring for each other, themselves, and towards the planet then I've done my job."
“What’s your dream for your life?”
“To be a good mom. To be a good educator. I want to leave this world knowing I put in a lot more than I took out.”

“I show my appreciation of people through the time I spend with them. Time is something you can’t get back so giving someone your time is showing that you think they’re worth your time. And touch…giving and receiving energy…it's something you can’t describe with words. You just have to be with someone and feel them.”

Haven't done composite in a while and a photographer friend of mine got my juices flowing again! Thank God for inspirational friends. :)
“I met her at the Fruitvale Bart station. She had her hair braided and I asked her, ‘Why you got all that fake hair on your head?’ She told me it was real and she unbraided her hair and said, ‘I don’t let people touch my hair but I’ll let you touch it’. I put my hand in there and I didn’t feel no tracks, no sow in weaves, nothin. So I asked for her number and she said, ‘No, you give me your number’. But she didn’t call. 2 weeks later I ran into her again at the Bart station and said, ‘You didn’t call me! Can I have your number so I can call you?’ and she said ‘No. I lost your number but if you give me yours I’ll call you.’ 2 days later she called. We talked on the phone for like 6 months and she finally let me take her out. We became boyfriend and girlfriend but we lost contact for 4 years, I was still in the streets at the time. Then after 4 years I ran into her at the Fruitvale Bart station again. I asked her to be my girlfriend again, and she said, ‘No, but I’ll be your friend for life.’ Now every time I look at my wedding ring I know she kept her word, she’s really my friend for life.”

"What are you passionate about?"
Awakening. Spiritually and emotionally. Healing. I go to school for consciousness and philosophy. I just came back from a Zen Buddhist style retreat where you sit and watch your thoughts and emotions to help heal what comes up. You sit with all the past traumas and all the stuff that can come up. I had to dissolve a lot of emotional energy. Stay with it until it released. It was a deep five days for me. I’m still in the thick of it, it’s still coming out. But it feels like a gift and a blessing.

“I’ve had 33 jobs before my current one at YouCaring. This is the most loving business I’ve been a part of. The idea that you can actually do good in business and be loving has been affirmed. It’s also the longest I’ve worked anywhere in almost a decade. I’m going on to my 8th month. Maybe for most people that’s not a long time but for me I would know I was on my path and even though I may not have known what I was looking for I knew what wasn’t it. I always think of my mom because she gets nervous about my way of life. She’s like, ‘You quit your job again! You did this! You did that!’ but I’m like, ’Hey, you’re the one who immigrated from a foreign country with 2 kids and no money and no language. You did the impossible. I’m just continuing to explore’.”

“One of my goals for 2016 is taking really good care of myself. Taking more time to eat really good food and planning for that. Totally giving myself over to the experience. I feel like it’s one of the best ways to love ourselves, just eating well. Just to nourish my soul through food and music.”
