Description
Deep in the South Bronx, where the first melting pot was set ablaze by the birth of Hip-Hop, resides the Compound, a creative space where art, music, fashion, and sports are fused, inspiring an atmosphere of innovation tucked away in bunker type building. The space serves as an adult playground for work, curated events, and meetings of the minds; where various artistic people come together to sharpen each-other and give life to imagination. Described by Nylon magazine “as an arcade of cultured art”, The Compound has taken a life of it’s own in recent years. An industry secret has now made its way to the pages of Huffington Post and Billboard Magazine as a destination spot with daily requests for invite and location reveal.

Advice
I'm still trying to master this but having a balance between work and home. Making the time to spend with your significant other. Taking breaks and not feeling guilty. I'm a workaholic and I love what I do. If it was up to me I would work 24 hours, 7 days a week. But we all know that's not smart and balance is key for your health and sanity.
I find writing out a to do list or action list at the start of each day helps me to be organized and effective. I'm still old school I like to have a pad, list everything out and mark it off with a red pen as I accomplish my tasks throughout the day.
Taking time to take care of yourself. Took me a long time to get here. I always neglected or didn't have time to get pampered. It's ok to take a day off go get a massage, medi/pedi, treat yourself to an awesome meal (I'm such a foodie) and a glass of wine (I'm such a whino..lol) and be ok with it, the world wont stop, your business will not crumble everything will be right there when you return.
