“What a time to be alive!”

I am a photojournalist from Choppee, South Carolina, currently based in Charlottesville, VA. Photography has always been therapeutic for me. I love the idea of making images look exactly how I see them: through light, love, and energy. As a Black person, seeing all races and cultures come together, standing for Black and Brown lives in Charlottesville and Richmond, has been so empowering. I hope I can help change the world through photography and show people what I see behind my lens. It is an honor to have a gift in something that helps amplify Black and Brown stories and voices. I have nothing to lose but my chains.
