THE FIRST LADY OF HARLEM.

or, on how izidora & the swavey's family came to be.

PRELUDE. — swavey's is a harlem-based tattoo shop first opened in 2016 by bakari rasheed vaughn, gifted to him shortly after his 21st birthday by eldest sibling katya. while the shop had always been a goal of his & treated as his bread and butter, it was very much operated as a cover for the vaughn family's criminal dealings: the basement of the shop was used as storage for the various guns & weapons being distributed domestically & internationally by katya's lost boys cartel, and bakari often employed those who were directly affiliated in the criminal world of new york as either artists or as the unofficial "security" for the shop. it was also the target of many shootouts in its' hey day.

THE MEETING. — in 2018, izidora's will to live is barely hanging on by a thread. at this point in time, she's already enacted revenge against every single person involved in the victimization & trafficking of herself, her sister, and many other minor & young adult girls within the tri-state area; carina is now found, but currently recovering from her own ordeal in the ICU; and has trapped the cursed souls of her abusers to torment within her amulet, including that of nico's, who she claimed for last. she is now primarily under her mentor shah's care: having been placed in a modest public housing apartment within the dyckman community & employed under the table at a number of jobs in order to get by. on top of practicing kulam & working odd jobs, izidora has taken to tattooing, often providing stick-and-poke tattoos to her neighbors & locals in the neighborhood. she's 22 years old & working nights + lunch shifts at a caribbean diner when she meets bakari vaughn for the first time during a midday shift. to her, he's just another customer placing a lunch order — completely unaware of the fact that her tattoo work has spread rapidly across social media & throughout the city, making her the interest of many artists both locally & outside of new york city. there was just one problem: izidora didn't have a single damn profile on social media, and no one knew where to find the elusive witch. to bakari, she was his biggest reward — and his biggest challenge.

THE ACQUISITION. — as completely unapproachable as izidora was, bakari was determined to prove himself as legitimate & get on her good side; or at least, not get cursed out by the small & volatile waitress. after a few visits & icy conversations with the woman, bakari made his intentions clear: he noticed her ink work, picked up her name from a few acquaintances (who were absolutely sitting on the diner in the weeks prior to his first visit.), and approached her with an offer. up until that moment, bakari's shop was largely operated by childhood friend zay bennett & two other close friends of theirs (smino / vic mensa) signed on exclusively as the primary artists & as full time employees, bakari's secretary & apprentice artist quiana (coi leray), and a handful of freelance / out of town artists who worked within the shop as commissioned artists. having izidora meant having one of the most sought after up & coming artists on his roster, and bakari was willing to do anything to get her — including a generous contract with a $100k sign on offer & a paid trial week prior to her signing. izidora's only condition? if she was going to be the only female artist contracted exclusively under swavey's, then he was going to have to put her name in the window beside his & zay's. no exceptions.

THE BUSINESS. — although it took little to no time at all for izidora to figure out the truth behind swavey's, including what other 'business' dealings bakari had been involved in & the work he was storing and running beneath the floors of his store late at night, izidora quickly grew as one of bakari's most trusted business associates and became extremely close to her as a mutual confidant alongside zay — despite her & bakari's clashing personalities, petty arguments between the two, insults thrown in each other's presences, and overall childishly treating each other as the sibling they never wanted. between mid-2018 and late-2020, swavey's grew from a small hood spot frequented by the bangers & dealers around the block to a legitimate business in the making; due largely in part to izidora. while the woman was rude, foul mouthed, plenty quirky, and terrifyingly aggressive on the exterior, izidora carried a certain presence about her — the ability to cater not only to their original, gritty, less-than-cookie cutter clientele without fear or hesitation while also opening doors for new clients & business opportunities. by her 24th birthday and second year with the collective, she was able to build up her own personal style & an inclusive, loyal clientele (of course, after she caved & allowed bakari & zay to make social media profiles for her. a mysterious queen!) as well as increasing their contracted artist roster and ensuring that all of their female clients were comfortable & secure while having more intimate tattoos done. interviews, magazine features, national expo's, brand deals and a november 2018 documentary all had the same thing to say — the swavey's brand was nothing without izi.

LA FAMILIA. — by january 2021, swavey's grew into a large enough brand that they were in the midst of expanding to a larger building in manhattan, separating from the lost boys cartel & establishing the brand as an official, cleanly run business; then, bakari suffers a near-fatal car accident with months of surgeries & physical therapy. in his absence, bakari makes changes to the hierarchy of the shop, leaving zay & izidora to run the shop indefinitely during his recovery. this is also considered a turning point for the tattoo crew, with the group having grown from co-workers to their own dysfunctional family unit of sorts. during a visit to his home one day, izidora also learns just how deep their own bond had been — bakari reveals to her that his manhattan relocation plans included promoting izidora's position within the company from a contracted artist to a partner & shareholder, and bakari's decision to take on a more serious role in his family's business meant choosing her to help run & manage the new location with zay. by the spring of 2022, the ribbon had been cut, and it was more than a sticker of izidora's name on the window. swavey's now included her name on the building itself & her face alongside theirs on the billboards.

SWAVEY'S OWN. — today, swavey's includes verified social media pages & individual artist pages for each employee on their roster. the much larger shop now includes in-house piercing, three levels, her own office, and an even larger group within their crew. although izidora remains an active established artist with her most loyal clients & a large number of celebrity clients requesting her work, she does have an apprentice under her named alexis (flo milli) to help her out when she has to spend the day on the business side instead. bakari primarily works on his own time, a change brought on due to his nerve damage & cane use following the accident, while zay keeps things running on the corporate end. with nearly a million follows on her personal pages, izidora is officially more than just the first lady of swavey's — she's a brand, bitch!
