Hello! My name is MarKing.
I am a Life Practitioner, Culture Creator, and Personal Coach. I am also an Artist, Creative, and Activist.

To me the success and failure of any relationship is how well we are able to communicate with each other. More importantly how well we are able to communicate with ourselves. The healthier communication practices we have with ourselves, the healthier relationship we have with Self. This is when we can expand on our true power and in creating impact.
​
Let's be honest. As artists, creatives, and activists, we feel deeply. It fuels our fire, but also leaves us vulnerable. The relentless chorus of self-doubt, judgment, and unworthiness can drown out our inner voice, triggering past traumas and sending us spiraling into despair, sometimes even questioning our very existence.
​
I lived this. Years ago, as an artist and a person of color, striving to find my voice. Each attempt to be heard felt like shouting into a void. The silence amplified past wounds, fracturing my relationships and trapping me in a cycle of self-defense. I became a collector of my own failures, a victim of my own narrative, drowning in negativity and a crushing sense of unworthiness. Depression became a constant companion, and my inner critic, a relentless tormentor, built a fortress of self-hatred, brick by painful brick.
​
Healing demanded an immense, unwavering act of self-compassion. It was a long, arduous journey of personal development and healing, a journey that revealed there are no quick fixes, only the continuous, evolving practice of becoming our truest selves. I persisted, seeking further growth through workshops, training, and coaching.
​
And then, a pattern emerged: a common thread weaving through every modality, every interaction, every internal struggle. The "aha" moment arrived with a painful clarity.
​
The root of our depression, our rage, our emotional deficiencies lies in a deeply fractured relationship with ourselves. And that fracture stems from toxic self-communication, from the relentless barrage of destructive self-talk.
​
It's not merely about acknowledging the negativity. It's about understanding the origins of those inner voices, the energetic imprint they leave on our souls. It's about dismantling the patterns of self-destruction and cultivating a tender, loving relationship with the self we've long neglected.
​
And that's what I do...
​
I help Artists, Creatives, and Activists elevate their inner dialogue, so they can develop a healthier relationship with Self, get their power back and create the impact in the world that they are meant to.
​
I believe artists, creatives, and activists provide the pulse for humanity. We tell our stories, our histories. We shape culture. Influence policy. Express our joys. Rage our pains. We provide different perspectives. We challenge the status quo. We help to create the future.
​
There are so many artists, creatives, and activists that I've seen that never realized their potential. Or some that were 'gone to soon'. In large part because they didn't have a healthy relationship with Self. Do you know anyone like that?
​
I believe that if you have a healthier relationship with Self, you can realize the true gift you are. If you realize the gift you are, than you can start create change in your world. And if everyone is collectively realizing their gift and creating change in their worlds, than that's how we can create impact in the World...
This is Artistry in Life.
