E L L E | a KID called BEAST

I’m truly honored and humbled to share that I now hold over 100 BEASTs, becoming the first woman in AKCB to reach this milestone. 🥹🤍 Each one means something to me. They have their own names, their own personalities, and their own stories. I see so much in the art—the expressions, the little details, the depth of these characters. Somewhere in their stories, pieces of my own have found a place. AKCB means so much to me because of the people who give this community its heart. I’ve felt the kindness here. The generosity, the laughter, the way people show up for one another when life gets heavy. Those things stay with me. They’re why I call this my ʻohana. This goal is deeply personal. There is something beautiful about reaching a place in your life where you can pour into what you love, trust what speaks to you, and allow yourself to celebrate how far you’ve come. Building this little family of BEASTs has brought me so much joy, creativity, and connection. Being the first woman to reach this milestone adds another layer of meaning. I hope it encourages another woman to keep creating, collecting, and making room for what she loves. We belong here, and there is so much we can bring to this space simply by being ourselves. Thank you to Rafsby, Caleb, and this entire community for giving us something that reaches beyond the art and into our lives. I’m grateful to be part of its story, and grateful you’re part of mine. Over 100 BEASTs, each with a story… and the Beast in me still has so much left to tell. 🤍 #AKCB #B4L
