Today we’d like to introduce you to Unspoken Being.
Hi! Can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Well, I typically would turn a question like this over to you asking what would you like to know like I was Cody Rhodes. However, I think it’s my turn. I didn’t always view what I do as something to pursue, I always viewed it as something of life. Something that I knew I could do and would always show up to within school and other parameters exuding the passion I have for it. The craft.
However, that phrase isn’t some
one off term but something of divinity. Essence.
Magick is what it would be called however it is truly the binding essence of even the most primordial element. Even a neutrino.
The Yoruba see the orishas as door ways to the same divinity Oludomare.
I see similarity with poetry.
I see the same with art, however a different face like the orishas.
Art has many faces and art is also art.
To me its a communication, a channeling thats happening. And based on your door is what you tell, yet you are receiving from the same source. Hell, i believe you’re even receiving the same information, however it’s your way of interpretation that makes it an opinion. Perhaps the interpretation/opinion is what makes the door, the face.
And that source is the root of all it is.
There is no greater being, than the being it is.
As a boy i always viewed, and i am very serious in what i am about to say next, as a child i noticed words, songs, language and any creations “made by man” had to be taught and that taught had to have an origin, a source. Just like the question what was before religion and spirituality, there had to be an original doctrine indisputable of what is and what was and were the truth of man. So why not be close to that source. Why not be it.
Become the very thing used to convey truth.
An instrument.
Bet you thought i was to say become god.
No matter the face phrase you use
Are we not of direct substance.
I digress.
We get closer in moments of appreciation and awe when inspired by the doors of the many faced, one faced being when we look to people like Jill scott, Jesus, Prince, Buddha, your cat, Tyler the Creator, Michael Jackson, Donald Glover, Jadyn Freeman, Kameron Walker, Unspoken Being and Valeriey. We are that source, so why not express. The name Unspoken Being gives appreciations to the one. Unspoken is what is said without the vibrations of what words are but what already is.
Notice what you say and where it comes from in moments of directness, who are you speaking to when speaking of another. Yourself is always included, so who is speaking through you? And what is watching when you let yourself notice.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Everyday life. Communication, my mental health, trust, peopling and when i say that it feels as though a role is being adopted picked up as though in an actor, in some sense i am, but in truth, i am not. Sometimes it’s the judgement if others and my frustrations with their interpretations if me as i’m just walking with my earbuds in waiting ti hear what they’ll say. Perhaps that’s even something i need to let go of.
Being myself in place where people boast about authenticity yet get shit hurt when post is made, a comment is created, a statement is had in the voice of honesty of what the person believes, feels awkward. Why?
And why should i care. To me it’s because an interpretation is an alley way to you.
Person is short of personality/ persona.
I’ve had other situations occur in my life however those “struggles” are my “shruggles” opportunities within life to see and adapt. Ask the question as though you are running an experiment. These are not failures, but clues as to what is next and what is happening. An engineering thought perhaps. I believe it’s about how you utilize what’s going on. What you have. To where it becomes what people may call transmutation, or alchemy given “right” environment. However any place can be the right environment. It’s what you do.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
What “sets me apart” is my face. I am. And what i specialize in is living. And from that living i create. And people have come to know my creations. Some have been shown as drawings others have been shown as writings; however they are all poetry. I am. So therefore, i create. My poetry reflects my art which in itself is the same wonder.
How do you think about happiness?
I don’t know. There is no one definitive thing but there is. Yes contradictory, there may be a lot of that here. However, what makes me happy would be the source of what is underneath what is making me smile. The moment, the gesture, the signal that notifies others and myself of pleasure. Those moments like going to the movies and experiencing joy are doorways to what makes happiness. A kind of happening ness is taking place, i giggle. I create i get closer to what that is perhaps i even become it as it’s instrument of creation. just get that ego out of it or let it in. It’s how you utilize it, remember?

- I charge to do more with my creations and express it further. It’s for myself.
