Protect Black Transmen & Mascs.
Queer is much more than just a label, it’s a radical practice. Parties being labeled “queer ” but centering cis gays & lesbians are really missing the mark in protecting the trans folk that not only attend, but work their parties as well.

To clarify this project isn't just for the boys with top surgery, a specific body type, or who are hyper masculine. I had a budget, as I'm paying for the studio, to shoot for an allotted amount of time. I choose people who have reached out to shoot or I have reached out to prev.

Im not embarrassed to publicly express my love for my partner… If he fumbles me, that’ll be his loss. Why should I feel embarrassed or ashamed of being vulnerable & loving someone publicly.

It’s Trans Week of Liberation, please take a moment to share my work. Please book Queer & Trans Photographers of Color, especially to shot QTPOC subjects. It’s time to diversify shooters & production teams. Pay US to capture US.

My entire newsfeed is filled with people getting positive covid results, it’s actually terrifying. Really wanted to see my grandmother, & I don’t want her to be alone on the holidays. This pandemic is heart wrenching & has taken so much time from being spent with those I love.

Everybody is a spiritual healer these days, an oracle, an advisor, a tarot reader. Gurl... bye, all 4 boroughs know of the emotional trauma you’ve left running through every man, woman, & person on the gender spectrum. But you’re doing your “shadow work” BYE.

I think dancing sexually on/for someone who is a serial abuser is wild.
Doechii releasing a solo version doesn’t move me. The goal is to stop supporting abusers, not to simply appease fans

For women/femmes who date men/masc persons. It’s comparable, because men/masc folk among all races are born into patriarchal structures.

Shot & edited this video on NYC Pride. It was the first year they closed the Piers. Bittersweet. But I wanted to capture the black queer joy.

Photographing myself is an affirmation, sharing it is telling you who I am, how I want to be seen. Selfies have always been a way for me to control the narrative. Shout out to
@SavageXFenty
for this piece.

I do feel like the non-inclusivity is misandry at its finest. Because the idea that black transmen have so much privilege that they won’t need help is ignoring violent systems.
kinda annoying that everytime something is trans themed the trans men/masc folks are never included I’m always like oh okay lmao

Are y’all dense? We have a mayor that doesn’t prioritize mental health, a hyper police & national guard presence, we’re witnessing a genocide every day, wealth disparities are the highest they ever been, we’re in a pandemic still, our president is out of it, politicians

It’s truly a lot,maintaining schedule, expenses, taxes, emails, invoicing, covid-testing, maintaining your kit, hard drives, archiving, organizing. Then organizing your own shoots, reaching out, rejections, submissions, building teams, finding talent, renting gear & spaces.
much respect to freelancers who pour into their art (which is its own full time job) but also manage all their own business. and marketing. and promotion. the work never stops. it’s truly a labor of love.

I got really high in Oregon & called my grandmother to talk about dreaming. We stood on the phone for like two hours while I was looking at the stars. I flooded her with affirmations, telling her how brilliant she is & how thankful I am that she taught me compassion & empathy.

All these students better SUE. You know you need a warrant to enter a private campus, the Administration invited the NYPD SRG onto campus. If they won’t divest through protest they’ll divest through litigation.

When Michael Brown was murdered, & the Ferguson riots happened. I remember many friends of mine being uncomfortable with all the destruction, with all the anti-police & military rhetoric. I remember being muted & silenced, I just think it’s interesting what radicalizes people.

We don’t even get the chance to mourn or sit in the trauma from these tragedies because we have to be on the offense from late capitalism, a pandemic, & far-right radicals.

You know what I hate about these self love conversations, the shaping of it as an existential awakening. As if once you start doing it, suddenly your life changes. Instead it should be shaped as a journey, filled with highs & lows. Otherwise it’s giving performance.
