Still reflecting on the beauty of 4 Corners, 1 People: Connectedness Across the Black Diaspora.

This past weekend, we hosted our second 4 Corners, 1 People gathering, bringing together voices and experiences from across the Black diaspora to explore relationships, belonging, community, and what it means to stay connected in a world that often pulls us apart.

Thank you to everyone who attended, shared space, and contributed to the conversation. Your presence is what makes gatherings like this meaningful.

A special thank you to our incredible planning committee @daboss_hall, @braveeducator, @dmalebr, @verdebrown77J, and @uche_onwa for investing your time, energy, vision, and resources to bring this event to life.

We are also deeply grateful to our sponsors and community partners, @adodinational, @adodiatl, @impulseatl, and @rustininstitute, for believing in this vision and helping make this gathering possible.

Special thanks to our panelists @jaithegentleman, @johnnyboidirects, Adina Dee, Chavez for such a fun panel and to @riceatlanta for providing such a beautiful and welcoming space for us to gather, and to @justtreloren for curating an amazing brunch experience that brought people together around food, conversation, and community.

Stay tuned. The conversation continues.

This is 26.

25 saw go from ATL to CHI to LA to NYC and to LON.
25 saw me form so may new relationships with people I never thought I would meet or connect with.
25 saw me complete a photo class with some of the most talented photographers around ATL.
But, 25 also saw me at one of my worst moments that Im still recovering from. But it’s okay.
25 owes me nothing. 26 owes me EVERYTHING.
Now hopefully the work doesn’t explode while I try to get my life together lmaooo. by @johnnyboidirects

So I’ve been sleeping wayyyy too long in myself and in doing so, doing a disservice to everyone who has asked me to share my art. Plus, I have Photographer in my bio, but haven’t shared..my photography.

So, here’s some of my favorite shots from the first half of 2026.

P.S. - Shoutout to the students of @fcsphoto101 for the first two photos of me☺️ by @johnnyboidirects
