Initially, I was drawn to the aesthetic — but I quickly noticed the lack of Black voices, Black representation and the toxic gatekeeping within the community. As I got deeper, There was this unspoken rule about who could tie and who gets tied, and it rarely included Black people. I wanted to change that narrative, to create spaces where Black people could experience rope free from exclusion and judgment.

For me, rope is more than an art—it’s my spiritual practice. It’s energy, intention, and connection. What started as curiosity evolved into a calling—breaking down toxic norms and building a culture Where Black people have the power to tie, be tied, and fully experience rope.
