✨DiGi2TiON Finals - Aireus✨
.
Coffee is an art, and in every drink I make Is a-latte of my heart.
.
I try to put intention behind everything I do, especially in my art. In all three rounds, I spent an extensive amount of time deciding how I wanted to express; myself, my message, and my passion.
.
In these next few days, I hope to break down my thought process in a sort of ‘behind the scenes view of my Glitter Cat Adventure.
.
I immediately drew inspiration from my favorite Black Artists & Creators, both in and outside the coffee community.
.
I am starting with my coffee alter-ego. The ‘Crema King,’ a title given to me by @terrellclarkofficial , one of my favorite locals at @gillybrewbar
.
The Crema personifies how I [Aireus] wish to present myself in the coffee community. He’s everything I want to be—a future manifestation of the path I’d like to follow. Taking inspiration from; @donaldglover ’s Childish Gambino persona, @michellenotmeesh , and @feliciathegoat , Crema King is confident—yet; humble, calm and collected.
.
Truthfully, before Glitter Cat, I was doubtful of myself. But, the emergence of Crema King within this competition makes me believe that my vision of the coffee industry is attainable, and It’s not something that I have to do alone.
.
Veronica and Eric summarized it best; There exists a future where financial and logistical barriers have been removed for baristas, and an open forum of communication exists for our professional development.
