She launched her online stores mid 2020: Canvas Chats on Etsy and has also partnered with INPRNT featuring high quality prints of selected pieces. Nae’Keisha is an advocate for creating visual stories for her community to enjoy and inspire positive change. She has created a fun and lighthearted web series called Canvas Chats that shares her creative journey with the public while inviting others to create with her.  Her mural “Hello Neighbor” debuting her fun loving original characters the “ Baby Grahams” and their curly headed poodle, was unveiled along with several artists apart of the Starlandia Mural Fence Project towards the end of 2020. Despite her piece being stolen, she continues to inspire those around her through her work. She has recently become a member of both the Telfair Museum and the Friends of African American Arts (FAAA).

She has aspirations of widening her audience network to have her work featured in children's books as well as on the large screens of TV and movie sets.
