Real work. Real impact. Real stories being told. 🎥📸

The Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement Pathways Program is designed to help DC residents, ages 18–35, who are most at risk of violence gain real-life skills, job training, and employment opportunities.

Through hands-on training, participants learn things like financial literacy, job readiness, and problem-solving… then transition into paid work experience and long-term career support to help them build stability and success. 

This is more than a program… it’s a pathway to a different life.

@thevisualkingdom crew on this one:
@khayshots + @visionsartsproductions behind the camera
Directed by @jamarhutcheson 🎬



And yeah… we had to show up in that @officialsensored gear while working

If you’re in the DC area and eligible, this is something you should seriously look into.

If you’re an organization, agency, or brand looking to capture moments like this…

📩 DM to book photo or video coverage for your next event

And if you’re rocking with the movement…

👕 DM “SENSORED” to tap in with the gear

Who said corporate has to be boring? “Gilbert Vice” brought IT—neon lights, tropical florals, killer DJ, and serious main character energy. The vibes were high, the dance floor stayed packed, and the team celebrated all night! Office party? More like club takeover.

Cheers to four years of Sai Lashed You
& more importantly, cheers to being a boss🥂

They say time flies when you’re doing what you love, and it couldn’t be more true. From a young age, I knew owning a business was in my future, but I never envisioned it would be in the lash industry. Becoming a business owner has been one of the best decisions of my life. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has booked with me, referred me, interacted on social media, or supported my journey in any way. Starting in Bowie, Maryland, and expanding to Greensboro, North Carolina, has been quite the adventure, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here’s to many more years of growth and success!

XoXo,

Your fav lash artist💋

Said no one ever: ‘I love letting others help me pack up my gear!’ 😅 It might just be me, but I always triple-check to make sure nothing’s forgotten or left behind. The two times I accepted help? Something got lost or broken, so yeah… not doing that again! 😂📸

When it comes to my photography gear, I’m all about keeping things in my hands. Anyone else super protective of their equipment? 🙋‍♀️ #PhotographerLife #HandsOnOnly #ProtectTheGear #dmvphotographer
