Angels on earth. Black children shine with Divine light.
Black children full of their innocence and unwavering in their truth. We are purified in their light.
In their eyes, the heavens shine. Black Angels, you are our sun, our moon, our light.

Magazine Cover directed and shot by me 🙋🏾♂️ for the 30th Anniversary of Essence Festival of Culture Issue.
Dear New Orleans,
Your Vieux Carré streets were reclaimed by Black women, boasting all our shades and shapes, sashaying in colorful, silky sundresses, two-piece linen sets, and hoochie-mama shorts.
With our singin’ and sanctified! It felt like I’d arrived in Black heaven.

When I was younger, I used to work so many jobs for

every year as a way to make some bread. So shooting the cover of the magazine is completely a FULL circle moment.

In 2005, like many New Orleans natives, my family was uprooted by Hurricane Katrina and forced into a new way of life. While crafting this scene, I wanted to depict how I remembered my cousins and me before Katrina—a simpler time.
