SOMEWHATANTi: The Name, The Mindset, The Mission

I’ve never fit neatly into a box.

Didn’t want to, but i tried.

I felt the weight of expectations pressing in- family, trying to make it out the hood, the system, society, the past.

Telling me who to be, how to move, what to want.

Somewhatanti.

Not a rebellion against the world.

Nor a rejection of everything.

But a refusal to accept what never felt like mine.

I grew up knowing what it meant to adapt, to survive.

To be generous even when I had little,

To dream even when reality clipped my wings.

But there was always this pull inside me.

A need to break free, to carve something different,

To create, to tell stories that weren’t being told.

Living in LA was a dream. It was a choice.

A gamble on myself.

A leap off a ledge with no guarantee of wings.

I knew if I stayed home, I’d be trapped in a version of myself that wasn’t real.

So I left. I built. I became.

Still becoming.

Somewhatanti is more than a name.

It’s a way of moving through the world.

It’s the resistance to being molded into something that doesn’t fit.

It’s the fight to stay true, even when the world tries to shape you into something else.

I didn’t come here just to exist.

I came here to make, to shift, to change.

To turn dreams into something solid,

To live in a way that means something.

This is just the beginning.
