MORE LIFE. THREE YEARS LATER.

Three years ago, I created my first-ever editorial and conceptual photoshoot. At a time when finding myself was one of the most important things I could do, especially after a full year of exploring the culture and community of Howard University.

The concept of More Life became so important to me because I knew that, as my birthday approached, I needed to find more reasons to celebrate myself. Whether that meant finding happiness, rediscovering my motivation, or simply giving myself something to look forward to, I wanted to create something that reminded me that life was worth celebrating.

More Life also came during a period when I was receiving so much love, and sometimes just as much criticism, for simply being myself. I didn’t always know how to accept either. I was still learning how to navigate being misunderstood while allowing people to love me for who I was, even when I was still figuring that person out myself.

Looking back, it’s interesting to think about how much my fashion and photography have evolved—or how I sometimes feel like my creative peak was three years ago. But beyond the images, styling, and concepts, what I cherish most is the authenticity of my catalog and the people who helped bring those ideas to life.

I may take the lead in the creative direction and storytelling, but none of these visions would have been possible without the incredible creatives who trusted my ideas and helped bring them to life. To everyone who contributed to my work, believed in my vision, or simply showed up for me, thank you.

Three years later, I’m learning that More Life was never just about a birthday or a photoshoot. It was about giving myself permission to exist boldly, create unapologetically, and find joy in the person I was becoming.

As another birthday approaches, I can honor who I was without needing to become him again.

Here’s to more life, more creativity, more community, and more becoming. 🥂
