CAMARADERIE
A family without DNA specifications is the strongest connection that can ever take place. Wrong or Right having a person that is behind you steering you in the best possible way fills you with a confidence and security to take on the world. In the Illustrious words of Nino Brown
AM I MY BROTHER’S KEEPER?!

Enjoy The Quality
Known for the amazing details he has brought to the jewelry game. I feel the greatest quality the Greg Tuna team brings to our world camaraderie. The solidarity and joyfulness from the instagram stories gives us an insight on what makes the world “Enjoy The Quality”, not only in the art but in the people.

Forever Love
A beautiful episode of Vogue’s Objects of Affection inspired me to create Forever Love. We send our condolences to Iman and her family. The way she spoke about Mr. Bowie shows that no matter what a love for a person never expires. The pieces that she displayed in the episode initially were hurtful but brought some peace at the same time in the rememberance of her late husband. Going through the daily travels of life we sometimes don’t express how much a person means to us. Thank you Iman for being so candid and personal this allowed me to open my eyes and show my loved ones how much they mean to me.

Fathers With Daughters
They Say the foulest players and heartbreakers God gets us back he makes us have special lil girls. There’s no love like the one between father and his daughter. Strong for the world we melt when it comes to our daughters. Daughters give us a new aspect on life. They teach us how to be more loving, compassionate, and understanding. On the contrary we are here to teach them how to be tough and how to spot the sinister ways of the world. There’s mono stronger duo than a father and his daughter.

Everyone’s Father
First of all R.I.P Uncle Phil. The most legendary father of our culture. He taught everyone how to be a stand up individual. This iconic scene is top 2 television moments in history, right up there with Florida Evans grieving with James death. Though it was a sitcom this was a episode that touched every person who has had the misery of dealing with an absent parent. While still being tough Uncle Phil knew how to console Will in this very moment. Human nature puts us in unfortunate situations where we yearn for someone who has never showed up for us. Once we make it our this is where we become Survivors.

Koncrete Kings
The place where dreams are made, toughest city in the world where only true Kings come to take over. Its been a while to bring a championship home but our stars need help. I mean Clyde didn’t do it alone. We tend to be extremely tough on the stars that do come here or that we create. Lets embrace our new star in Randal and support him to strengthen him to grow stronger and establish us back to where we belong. Your hardworking doesn’t go unnoticed. We are NY STRONG!

1st Best Friend
Before we go outside and meet anyone at the park, or sit next to someone at a desk, some of us are blessed to meet our best friend at home. An sibling is someone that no matter wrong or right when we are outside we stick together. Once we get a lone it may be a different story but out in open we’re inseparable. The older sibling usually takes on the role as the 3rd parent which can be a gift and a curse. The gift is some guidance that can’t be traded for gold; whether it be listening to what they teach or learning from their mistakes. The curse is sometimes they may not be quiet, lol. A bond that is forever no matter how many spouses, friends that come and go your sibling is there till the end of time.

Warhol Vs Basquiat
A perfect rendition of when Idols become Rivals. A brief meeting in a diner turned into a friendship. Many believe the 2 were using each other for personal enhancements; nonetheless Warhol mentored Basquiat prior to their falling out. Perhaps the “Dos Cabezas” piece is where the friendship started but a failed exhibition is where the relationship ended. Sadly, Warhol passed and Basquiat fell into a depression channeling drugs which led to his death from overdosing. There is no doubt that the Artistic Geniuses are in Heaven creating more masterpieces.

Girl Dad
Thank You to all of the Bryant women for allowing us to have Kobe as an idol, Mentor, Inspiration and so much more. As a father, his off the court actions with his family inspired me just as much as his on court performances . His bond with his daughters shines brighter than his handful of championship rings sitting in front of the sun. The way he spoke about his daughters, you can feel the happiness and love they filled him with. To be clear there is no bond compared to a daughter and her father. Best of luck in your one on one Kobe as dads we have no choice but to be beat by our daughters in any competition. R.I.P the best GIRL DAD and GIGI BRYANT.

International Love
A love founded in 1973 was meant to last forever. 2 Morse Coders fell in love in Turkey and decided to take their love global. Only a year after meeting the young couple encoded the love through marriage in Japan. Now nearly 50+ years later this love has found its way to the United States; however they have shown no matter their location love rules all.

Brotherly Love
The Power of brotherly love isn’t as obvious on both sides. It seems like Ghost and Tariq would be just fine without Tommy and Brayden; however contrary to believe they need their counterparts more than they even know. The more dominant and seemingly put together person always portrays to be stronger but it is the “Co-Star” who is the dominant of the pair. More structure backgrounds even if in turmoil shows some type of stability that creates a confidence within even if hidden. Solo each one lacks something but together each pair is match not to be messed with.
