F*ck guys,
I don’t think y'all even understand how hard it is - I mean, I forget how hard it is to be vulnerable. My work is about vulnerability and yet I still can’t seem to be as vulnerable as much as I’d like despite the fact I know it’s so uncomfortable. This journey is hard, sometimes it feels like it’s too hard; sometimes it doesn’t seem possible or that it’s not even reachable. I’m scared and I’m full of doubt but what reminds me to stay positive & what reminds me that vulnerability is possible are the people that decide to be vulnerable with me - these damn photos. The willingness these men have to be vulnerable with me. Thank you so fucking much. You are my heroes, I swear. Please keep shining because without y'all, I don’t know where I’d be.
Ty.

There’s too much shame in our society around our bodies, particularly critical of the black body, and I’m done with that. I want to remind the viewer that by confronting their fears about their bodies, it enables us to embrace everything that we are, as individuals and as a community, encouraging the practice and process of self-love. Shame is a social construct.

I’m afraid of what I feel. I’m afraid of being vulnerable. I’m afraid of not being validated. I’m afraid of not being accepted. I AM afraid of me.
.
Change is scary and sometimes I find myself wanting to hold on to the old me, because that’s all I’ve ever known. Isn’t it so f*cked that for some reason there’s a part of you sometimes that still wants to hold on to toxicity?
.
As I continue on my journey of healing, calling myself out and unpacking my toxic behaviors, I’ve recently learned how important it is to hold intimate relationships with other men. I don’t think men understand how extremely important and helpful it is to build healthy relationship with the men around them.
.
Every time I look at the images that I capture of men who choose to share their vulnerabilities, their mistakes, their flaws and insecurities, it forces me to continue to look into myself, unpack and relearn.
.
It forces me to sit in the uncomfortable.
.
Repeat because repetition is key: Sitting in the uncomfortable is hard but its necessary for growth.
