Our new tee is here!

Designed by @kingandfolkco to help us remember that although we are in this world, we are not supposed to be of this world. We were called to be different from the rest, set apart with a purpose. We were created to be UNYC!

We are loving the vintage look of the design printed on the essential, premium, soft Unisex tee!

This shirt will be available in a Soft Cream with Black print and a Black with White print.

Sizes available are Adult Small to 2X-Large.

Limited quantity so order fast!

If you want to place a large order please send us an email at contactunyc@gmail.com.

The mission is to connect creatives to people/places where they can use their gifts to inspire others. Over the years I’ve carried that out in different ways. Whether it was helping put on events, getting an artist a gig or two, connecting like-minded individuals who would eventually collaborate on projects, help plan and talk through strategies for new ideas, etc. 

I’ve always been a connector of sorts. It’s what I’ve watched my family do in ministry and it’s what I’ve done in my professional career in Human Resources. I’ve always tried to see the best in others. I encourage them and nudge them to walk on the path of their purpose by helping them recognize their God given gifts.

I have learned a lot about myself and others. I have gained and lost friends. I have seen success and I have seen failure. 

But one thing I haven’t done is give up on the idea that when I believe in someone, I want to see them win and for God to bless them.

🙏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼

And that brings me to an exciting, first of many, collaboration with my friend and Artist Creative, Kelly Cruz of @kingandfolkco.

While she wears many hats like pastor’s kid, sister, aunt, military wife, mother of 3; this soft-spoken, Master’s Degree holding young woman is also a talented UNYC artist! I’m honored and grateful that she has allowed me to work on this with her. 

Give her a follow and check out her amazing work! We are excited to get this piece out to you all!

🤯

When I decided to add “Content with a purpose” to my website it’s because my goal and hope is that everything I share, say or work on will have a bigger purpose. Whether that’s helping someone understand something with a new perspective or simply encourage someone to not give up.

🙏🏼

So with the recent tshirt I decided to release, each theme has had a direct impact on my own person life. With the latest #FML tee, I didn’t know how God was going to use it but as I read up on forgiveness (to or from others and from God) I had to really consider the areas/people in my life that I haven’t really forgiven.

🤔

Since the drop there have been opportunities for me to ask for forgiveness or offer it with some family and there have been insightful conversations and times of prayer with my wife to help me go through some things.

🙏🏼

God continues to work on me and I’m grateful for his Grace and Mercy on my life even still! May you be encouraged to deal with forgiveness differently and in a healthy way. May you draw closer to God as you pray and seek forgiveness! May you have merciful encounters with God that will help you be the best version of yourself.

Forgive me Lord….

…for I have sinned. AMEN!

#FML doesn’t have to mean what society has made it known to be. We want to change your perspective and consider a different approach.

In the Lord’s Prayer (Matt. 6:9-13), Jesus even taught us to ask for forgiveness because “he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9).

We know this shirt will draw attention and we hope that it brings awareness to the act of forgiveness, not just receiving it but also giving it.

“Forgiveness will help you more than the person you forgive.”

“Forgive others as quickly as you expect God to forgive you.”

Be grateful today that God loves you and He is gracious to allow you with all your mess to still boldly come before him and ask forgiveness. Be encouraged.

🙏🏼God bless you!🙏🏼

I swear sometimes I have A.D.D.

🙃

My brain rattles around with so many thoughts and ideas and questions that I can’t focus. So sometimes I will choose the lazy way out to avoid having to make a decision because there’s no actual deadline for the things going on in my head.

🤯

I have my moments though where I get a burst of inspiration and creativity and then I get triggered with a memory or something happens that changes the course of a moment and throws me off.

😠

I try to write things out and put them in boxes to help me organize all the crap in my head and sometimes it helps and other times I forgot where I wrote those things down.

🤪

I have goals, dreams and ideas that I would like to see come to life and I know I have to put in the work. But I also have to accept the fact that there are things out of my control and so I need to only worry about what I can control.

😬

I’m still trying to figure out how to be the best me and let go of the negative thoughts, words or experiences that will try to hinder me from being great.

😤

Anyways I’m working on focusing more on what’s important. Its taking some time but I’m sure someone can relate.

🤗

What are some tools or ways you help yourself to get or stay focused? What are some habits you’ve had to stop or some you started to get you on track?
