-
B1 Entertainment is a talent incubator focused on developing strong, versatile performers. Through hands-on coaching and performance training, artists build the confidence, discipline, and style needed to deliver polished covers and original music with a professional edge.
B1 is a creative space built from Salaama Journey’s passion for music and artistry. As a Black-American artist, producer, and performer, Salaama brings years of experience in music production, live performance and vocal direction to Mérida.

The Merida Collective Community is an inclusive space where artists, activists, makers, LGBTQ+ voices, women and anyone curious about the city meet, learn, and create together.

Merida Collective Magazine is an online boutique magazine that spotlights the everyday stories and creative spirits that make this city unique – Black residents, artists, entrepreneurs, women, LGBTQ+ folks – voices you won't always find in mainstream media.
We tell stories from around Mérida that show how the city’s creative community is growing.
-
Creative direction, storytelling strategy, production support, and community-centered consulting for creators, organizations and entrepreneurs.
I specialize in creative direction and consulting tailored for anyone who’s ready to launch a project or share a story that truly resonates. From concept to final cut, we’ll turn ideas into compelling narratives that grab attention, inspire action and leave a lasting impact. Let’s bring your vision to life!
