Ashley reached out for some updated headshots and we found a nice little park nearby to capture these gorgeous shots.

Her story (from what I was told) starts in the deep southern state of Mississippi and miraculously her and her siblings, along with some other pups were rescued from Hurricane Zeta that swept across the state in October 2020. In April 2021, I decided to visit a rescue facility in Waldorf, MD to look at the cute pups and possibly foster one for just a week or two. There were so many adorable pups and I asked if they had anymore. The staff member said "yes, we have a few in the

I finished this book in just a couple of weeks. I appreciated how candid and open Kamala was in sharing what went on behind the scenes during her presidential campaign.

This one took me awhile to read. When I purchased this book it had been released for about a year and when I read that it was a compilation of Black horror stories by Black authors, edited by Jordan Peele, I was sold. When you read the forward, Peele describes what inspired the "Sunken Place" in his movie "Get Out" - a medieval torture practice called "oubliette." I found that interesting. Overall the stories were creative but quite a few didn't give me "horror", maybe a litt

This was a good read! I really enjoyed getting to know both Sydney and Theo's characters. Although this is a fiction novel, Alyssa does a good job of lifting up the harsh realities of gentrification and how it can rip apart a tight-knit community - Black communities and communities of color specifically. As Sydney was doing her research for a big project, she was discovering how redlining, "white flight", and other acts of racism changed her neighborhood in Brooklyn throughou

When you speak of the Black Liberation Movement of course Angela Davis should be included in the conversation. She is amongst a long list of Black revolutionaries that have selflessly focused on challenging systemic racism. There is a joke about having your "Black card" revoked if you haven't watched certain movies, eaten certain foods, understand certain phrases, and etc. I believe reading certain Black literature falls in line with this thinking and Angela Davis' Autobiogra

Recently I was asked to shoot some branding photos and we chose one of my favorite locations in Annapolis, MD.

"Worthy" a memoir by Jada Pinkett Smith... I was drawn to Jada Pinkett's new memoir, 'Worthy,' for multiple reasons, with one being that she's always been one of my favorite actresses, especially during the 90s. She always struck me as someone who had a big, yet sweet personality and living a great life of doing what she loved to do with a partner in her corner doing the same. Among my favorite movies starring Jada are 'Set It Off,' 'Woo,' 'Jason's Lyric,' 'Menace II Society,
