WHO AM I
My name is pDUBS, founder of pDubs Unlimited – Positivity & Wellbeing, Unlimited, a creative movement that merges storytelling, wellness, and social impact to empower silenced voices and inspire transformation.
As a Creative Project Manager, I oversee the full lifecycle of artistic and community-centered projects—from concept to execution—across mediums like film, art, fashion, animation, and event design. My approach combines creative direction, brand development, and wellness advocacy, ensuring that every project reflects purpose, intentionality, and emotional connection.
Through projects such as the Accepted Addictions Podcast and the Sade universe, I develop experiences that challenge norms, promote healing, and celebrate resilience. My work connects deeply personal narratives to broader cultural and communal conversations, turning creativity into a tool for growth and empowerment.
WHAT I DO (Creative Project Management)
As a Creative Project Manager, I merge art, media, and wellness into cohesive projects that inspire confidence, storytelling, and change. My management style blends design strategy with emotional intelligence—ensuring every project not only looks like a dream but feels meaningful.
I lead all stages of creative production:
- Concept Development: Turning complex emotions or social themes into clear creative visions.
- Art & Design Direction: Guiding styling, color palettes, materials, and visuals that align with each project’s message.
- Team Collaboration: Working with artists, stylists, editors, and community partners to bring ideas to life.
- Community Integration: Ensuring that every project connects back to collective healing and empowerment.
WHAT IS ACCEPTED ADDICTIONS?
Accepted Addictions is an animated podcast, a reflective storytelling series, used to unpack the everyday habits and norms we’ve learned to accept but in a lighthearted, relatable way, and Sade, an animated character symbolizing resilience and transformation. Every project I develop ties back to the community, healing, and reimagining how we see ourselves.
Although my work is somewhat autobiographical, it's all about the larger community. At the center is SADE— raw, real, and unapologetic. Born out of loss and pain, Sade became more than a drawing: she’s a symbol of rebellion, healing, and self-acceptance. Sade isn’t just a character; she’s a mirror, holding space for people to see themselves.
WHO IS SADE?
Sade is the heart of pDubs Unlimited — an animated character and alter-ego who symbolizes resilience, rebellion, and self-acceptance. As I explored my art style through client customizations from footwear and home decor, to cut and sew and paint customizations, to the shirt on someone’s back being customized for an special event, I was doing whatever clients wanted but in my art style. I experimented with so many mediums and art styles until Sade was born. She was born out of my own process of healing from trauma,. Unable to verbalize my trauma, I drew who I aspired to be and evolved into her. Sade represents advocacy and empowerment for others who have faced their own hidden struggles.
We live in a world that celebrates characters like Hello Kitty, who symbolize happiness & kindness. However, in our contemporary society, we need a new standard of positivity & wellbeing, someone who can represent the depth of human experiences and resilience. Sade is designed to be that figure. It stands for overcoming adversity, personal growth, and the relentless pursuit of positivity and wellbeing.
SERVICES
- Podcast Creation: I created a podcast that addresses societal norms that can hinder personal growth, providing a platform for discussion and awareness. This podcast reaches a wide audience, sparking relatable, thought-provoking conversations about mental health, resilience, and personal development.
- Clothing & Environment Styling: I design cohesive visual experiences through wardrobe and space styling that reflect identity, mood, and message—bringing stories and environments to life with intentional aesthetics that inspire confidence and self-expression.
- Educational Workshops: I engage with children through workshops, teaching them about Sade and helping them create their own characters through clay sculpting, painting, video illustration and edition, animation, and clothing design. These workshops with Americorps, not only foster creativity but also provide a safe space for kids to express themselves and explore their identities.
- Community Events: I organize community events that bring people together to celebrate having a platonic space for art, positivity, and wellbeing. These events often include interactive art installations, live demonstrations, educational workshops, in podcast debrief sessions and collaborative projects, encouraging participants to connect with one another and their own creativity.
- Advocacy & Art Therapy: I advocate for mental health and wellness, offering support to those who have experienced trauma. Through art therapy sessions and community outreach, I help individuals find healing and empowerment through creative expression.
- Collaborations & Program Development: I have partnered with local organizations and schools to integrate art programs that promote mindfulness and emotional wellbeing. These collaborations have resulted in lasting impacts, helping to build stronger, more supportive communities.
IMPACT
My work bridges creative production and social change. Through pDubs Unlimited, I’ve transformed personal healing into community healing—using art as both a mirror and a movement.
- Empowered audiences through open, potentially uncomfortable conversations.
- Inspired self-expression and confidence through fashion, art, and storytelling.
- Fostered creativity and identity in children and teens through AmeriCorps-aligned workshops.
- Built safe, inclusive spaces for community dialogue and emotional exploration.
Every project I manage is rooted in purpose, accessibility, and authenticity, showing how creativity can shape cultural narratives and wellbeing.
SUPPORT
With continued support, I aim to expand pDubs Unlimited as a model for creative wellness — curating art-driven community events, enhancing workshop tools, and producing higher-quality media and materials.
Funding would help scale production, improve accessibility, and reach more people with art that heals, teaches, and empowers.
The ultimate goal: to use creative project management as a bridge between art and advocacy, inspiring a generation to redefine what positivity and wellbeing truly mean.
