We had the good fortune of connecting with Shno Xavier and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shno, what matters most to you?
Intention. The art of trying comes from intention. They always preach failure is the right direction, but I came to learn that intention is the way forward. If ima create something with you, or share something I have made, I wanna do it well. But also shoot the shot bruh, I’m guilty haha. I ain’t tryna be out here just dribbling like Riley from the boondocks ya know. So even if your shot looks like Marcus Camby.. launch that thang.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
It’s funny cause in this current moment I have a new appreciation for all the cliche answers. But they’re true. Simple, but so true. If I had to drop a bread crumb for myself for me to look back on I would just say stay true and stay discipline. Good habits are harder to do than bad ones. So keep challenging yourself to stay locked in.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m a horrible host haha. Everybody knows I’m horrible at planning stuff but idk come thru if you want. I’m very spontaneous so anything is possible on a Shno day.

I guess to freestyle some shyt… morning thrift shopping, brunch, a drive down the pch, beach and coloring book day, maybe a picnic, sunset, refresh at the crib, dinner at Le Grand… people watching on sunset and a movie we both ain’t seen to end the night. Damn, did my hopeless romantic side just come out? haha

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
