I want to share about what the recent assignment God has been guiding me in. Before I start - please know every good idea I’ve ever had has been a gift from God.
For context, I received the divine download back in April after finishing my “April Showers” art show. That art show was the first time I really gave a project to God.
Consistently Faith training to stay in alignment with Him and being obedient to the ways the Holy Spirit was guiding me. Looking back I’m so glad God guided me to rework the art pieces to include my brothers and my Dad.
And it was a success! While I didn’t sell any of the pieces (yet), the way folks were inspired filled my heart. And I got to talk about God the entire time.
After the show, I was feeling unfulfilled for some reason. I asked God to seek my heart and why I was feeling this. I went to Bible Study that week and that night is when everything changed.
During prayer groups, a woman shared about a 12yr old boy who was struggling with suicidal thoughts. It broke my heart. He was just a kid, and with no stability in his life being in and out of foster care - I couldn’t stop thinking about him and his siblings.
It made me reflect on my life and family. I was the same age as that boy when the enemy began planting those same intrusive suicidal thoughts in my head. I was the same age as that boy when those same thoughts manifested into years of self harm that I hid.
God gave me the gift of basketball as my life raft that I clung to - but most kids don’t have that. It sent me down a spiral —
After Bible study I couldn’t stop thinking about those kids, that 12 year old boy. Wrestling with God, “How can we save them?! How can YOU save them?!”…and He showed me.
Going back and forth talking with God until 5am the next morning - He began to download in me a movement for the next generation. A movement of truth, hope, and purpose — Culture Shift Universe.
Culture Shift Universe is a faith fueled cinematic universe where teens unlock their spiritual gifts. If you can imagine Marvel…but with God.
The visions He showed me completely blew me away. Even as I write this my eyes swell with tears from the honor of this assignment.
I’ll never forget sharing this with my Dad. As an artist and founder who is in tech, I’ve worked on so many projects. While my Dad has always been supportive - it wasn’t always made clear what I was working on. Culture Shift was crystal clear.
I sent him the website I had just built for it and he called me immediately. “Ray, is this your idea?! When this takes off - it’s gonna go!” Hearing my Dad say that was the only confirmation I needed that this project was truly a divine gift from almighty God Himself.
My Dad passed away the next month. Nothing has been the same. I don’t think it will ever be if I’m being honest. But I know my God and He always has a way of working the most tragic things out for His Glory. And I’m leaning on that promise.
I don’t have all the answers on how Culture Shift will come to fruition. God led me to start a livestream show, Culture Shift Live, as me and my cofounder, Verlenzo Hawk, build this movement in real time. We’re live every Tuesday at 7pm ET on YouTube if you want to join.
So yeah, we’re building the next Marvel…but with God. Pray for us.

Didn’t do a big launch. Didn’t even feel ready.
But $79 and 11 leads in the middle of my grief?
That’s God’s grace in motion. 🙏🏾💜

Called to Connect was incredible! So many powerful speakers, fresh insights, and undeniable revelations in the room.
My biggest takeaways were
1. to invest in relationships and people.
2. God has promoted me but I’ve been reluctant
1. I’m great at putting my head down and executing — I also want to be a leader folks have a good relationship with.
2. God has shifted me (my perspective) from a creator who uses tech to a leader pioneering tech. Standing firm in the truth that I am a Black Man in tech. God showed me I was disqualifying myself from the promotion He done BEEN gave me 🤦🏽♂️
It has been an expansive and transformative couple weeks for me personally.
- moved into a new condo in LA
- adopted Hugo 🐶
- my parents came to visit 🖤
I’ll be taking the next few days or so to just meditate on Gods goodness and faithfulness. New podcast episode will be dropping soon after 🤞🏾thanks for being on this journey with me!

What we really learned from this Ryan Coogler deal is that Movie Studios have been operating like Record Studios.
Typically retaining ownership of artists creations.
Welp. Everything is about to change #CultureShift
