One day soon I’ll speak more on all the layers of why painting my grandfather on this wall, at this time, with my grandmothers portrait on his button, was so important to me. But I’m grateful to do what I love - this wall has tempted me for many years. I pray it serves as a reminder that the everyday people of New Orleans are giants. Thankful for @ritesideronnie and @cherrybombcee @touche_alias @pensolarsystem @digital_majtch7 @aaaaastriddd @cozyraw @lord.fyu @andre_lebone of @eternalseeds for assisting me on this. And thankful for @artsneworleans and #Gnoinc for making way. Thankful for @nolajuice @larocioisabel #MamaMariama and my grandfather for being references. Until the next one… #paintwhereitaint ( 📸 @jeremytauriac ) 24 Dec 2024 My gifts have opened doors for me, I’ve only been comfortable walking through them when I can bring as many people with me as possible and create something new within. I know how to paint, and every now and then my ideas are cool. I sometimes find myself in the right place at the right time. I don't want to dismiss these things as small. But, I reached a point a while ago where I was able to stop and synthesize what scaling looks like. What does it mean to have enough? What does it mean to be a bigger artist ? What does it mean to demand more attention, more consideration in the minds of an invisible audience? What does it mean to make more money? To drive the prices up? “to look in the mirror and say, there I am…” to see yourself as a flower. All those versions of the other side of the scale felt in extreme contradiction to how this started for me. The goal wasn’t necessarily to become a flower. But grapple with the question, and imagine alternatives to the present. Interrogate The idea that all great art should be a hospital or a church. We created @eternalseeds with this question in mind. “What’s more important the flower or the soil that grew it?” This post has been archived since January because I didn’t know how to post it, I’m still at conflict about how we let people in to the work that we do, how amplifying this practice seems to be in contradiction to why I love this practice in the first place. The audience it requires are the people who find themselves walking through the door curious about the same questions that got us here. But to be clear this practice is for all who find the door. And the door has always been there. understand we are building something inside 2941royal street. Building something that is taking up most of my capacity at all times. Its a type of tunnel vision I’ve grown to love - the light at the end - a north star of sorts. We got work to do. and we will need your help. Stay tuned. ( photos from when I surprised the team with jackets ) 📸 @tauriacphoto 02 Jul 2024 Today marks 10 yrs since the first mural I painted illegally on the walls of the damaged Florida Housing project in the 9th ward of New Orleans. It would be cliche to say I was lost then, Before those walls called to me. I remember late one night standing at the lake, The closest place I could find at the edge of nowhere. Face full of tears, feeling rudderless and impatient with my purpose. Praying an answer would appear in the darkness ahead of me. The process of painting those walls began to look like a compass. And I made an agreement with myself that I would follow where ever it took me. I don’t think I could ever have imagined it would have taken me here. There’s something to be said about being in the right place at the right time when an idea’s time has come. And I remember that time and place very well. The trespassing through fences and climbing over missing stairs, the experimenting with spraypaint, the amazing people who found their way there, the conversations that lead to the name #ProjectBe, But most of all I remember the silence. The needed escape from the noisy self expectations that started to chip away my curiosity and wonder. Thank you to everyone who helped on this journey, all those who made #ProjectBe a magical place of imagination. Self preservation sometimes tempts us to relocate others to the periphery of one’s own narrative. It’s one of the many flaws of ego. But my forever note is that I am who I am because of who loved me. I’m thankful for all who loved me or found me useful enough for themselves to be a part of this journey, even if it was for only a season, or a conversation, or a hug, or a laugh, or a lesson thank you. Also to not reduce the version of me 10 years ago, I want to thank myself for falling in love with the rattle of a spraycan and the possibilities of the worlds it could produce. For not giving up on myself. For being committed to wonder. A single post can not began to summarize what has happened in the 10 years since, but in an attempt to be true to the lessons learned we created the 10 #EternalPillarsOfBE. Over the next 10 days I will share a pillar a day. as we plan for the next chapter to be the best chapter.

This year’s theme focuses on equity, innovation, and Black futures, making it essential to ground these conversations in the futures we create not only FOR our children, but WITH them. At Studio BE, students from across New Orleans explored advocacy, art, self-expression, and the power of their voices. Participating Schools: • Brother Martin High School • Warren Easton High School • Edna Karr High School • St. Augustine High School • St. Katharine Drexel Prep • L.B. Landry High School Special thanks to our partners, Eternal Seeds and Studio BE, for helping us empower the next generation of leaders! 12 Oct 2026 Our @studio_be_ 10 year capsule collection now available online. StudioBEnola.com/shop 02 Oct 2026 Some moments in New Orleans for my book tour! Being reunited with my brother Eric Reid was incredible. He was the first player in the league to protest alongside me, and it was Eric who suggested that we shift from sitting during the anthem to kneeling. I’m grateful to call him my brother. I appreciated the opportunity to sit down with @e_reid35 and the incomparable @realrclark to reflect on our experiences, both on and off the field. I’m grateful for @bmike2c and @studio_be_ for hosting us with @baldwinandcompany. New Orleans will always hold a special place in my heart. Eric and his family are family to me, and I’m grateful we had the chance to spend time together. My memoir debuted #1 on The New York Times Best Seller List. The Perilous Fight which is in stores now and Kaepernick7.com 30 Sep 2026 Had the opportunity to bring my bro @kaepernick7 to my alma mater, @ednakarrhs Edna Karr, to sit with the students and talk about his new book, The Perilous Fight.
