Hey Lovelies – I’m Ivory Bloom, the voice, the spirit, and the spoon-stirrer behind this big ol’ pot of blog gumbo.
Born with a story in one hand and a side-eye in the other, I’ve danced through corporate halls, detoured through creative alleyways, and stirred up more than a few pots along the way—literally and figuratively. My background? A flavorful, unboxed mix: business, art, loss, triumph, healing, hustle, and heat. I’m not one thing—I’m a whole bunch of gumbo. Life served it spicy, and I added seasoning.
Let’s get real for a minute: I was fired. My unemployment was hanging on by a thread. I had $20 to my name and a vision. Using MidJourney and ChatGPT in 2023, I built a digital art business that took me from panic to profit—hitting six figures before AI art even hit the mainstream.
One accidental creation ended up in the mayor’s office for Black History Month… then landed as the backdrop on the TV series Mayor of Kingstown. From there? International galleries, collectors from Dubai and Switzerland, and a new lane I carved with my bare hands.
When the market got noisy with copycats, I pivoted. Because I don’t follow trends—I create them.

Out of the ashes (literally—my house burned down), I gave birth to the UnF🍷ckable Code. A mindset, a mantra, and a movement. It’s not profanity—it’s prophecy. The word reminds us: even from ugly beginnings, something rare and radiant can rise. Diamonds. Butterflies. Me. You.
And baby, don’t forget the trilogy of trials:
-
Losing it all and writing Over 40 and Killing It.
-
Art To Income zero to six figures after being let go fired.
-
Losing my mother and everything I owned in a fire.
Still here. Still rising. Still stirring.
I’ve written five books on transformation, creativity, and the power of becoming unfathomable. And while the digital hustle once defined my strategy, this blog marks a shift—a return to storytelling, self-expression, and soulful reinvention.
This is Ivory Bloom just like grandma’s gumbo.
One day it’s life advice.
The next day it’s why folks don’t return their shopping carts.
Some posts will make you cry, others will make you cackle.
But every bite will feed your soul.
So if you like your content seasoned, soulful, and sprinkled with sass…
🫶🏽 Okay now… Enter the kitchen.
