As a Chicago-based creative with mixed African and Irish roots, I turned small-boat fishing into a quiet ritual of self-discovery. Not about luck—but about the rhythm of waves, the weight of silence, and choosing to cast your line when the world feels too heavy to face. This is not a game. It’s a meditation in motion.

As a Brooklyn-raised, mixed-heritage dreamer with a degree in传媒学 from NYU, I turned fishing into meditation. In New Zealand’s coastal silence, every cast wasn’t about luck—it was about listening to the waves. This is not a game. It’s a ritual. I caught more than fish; I caught stillness. And if you’re tired of being seen, maybe you’re just one breath away from belonging.
