Family! We are thrilled to announce that Taji Mag Vol. 45 is officially out now — released December 7th!
This powerful issue, themed “Intuition,” features @pretty_boy_ichi on the cover.

As we celebrate 11 years of Taji Mag, this volume is especially meaningful. For more than a decade, Taji Mag has remained committed to uplifting, documenting, and glorifying Black beauty, culture, business, and brilliance. Every issue, every feature, and every story is a love letter to our people — and Vol. 45 continues that legacy with intention.

Inside “Intuition,” you’ll find visionary artists, innovators, healers, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders who trust their inner voice and move with purpose. This volume invites readers to reconnect with their own intuition and to honor the wisdom that has shaped our past, steadies our present, and guides our future.

Thank you for 11 incredible years of community and love. We wouldn’t be here without you.

✨ Grab your copy of Vol. 45 today and celebrate intuition, legacy, and Black excellence with us. #tajimag #blackexcellence #blackownedmagazine #blackbusiness #melaninpoppin by @pretty_boy_ichi

Another look with the infinitely talented @damienchristopherphotography . This time with a step in the direction of drama and captivation. If I did my job right you’ve fallen completely under my spell. Hook. Line. & sinker 🌺.

I want to connect with y’all. Beyond just the art but also sharing more about myself. Letting y’all get to know me better. So let’s start with talkin about my insecurity over my eyes 👀😫.

It’s been one helluva year no? Goodbye 2025. I think I can speak for most of us in saying it’s been an eventful year. On one hand I’ve accomplished so much in my career. I’ve truly made meaningful progress. Even when I couldn’t feel it, photos don’t lie. On the other hand we’re living through historic events. Norms are being shattered weekly and there’s a bottomless stockpile of uncertainty.

It’s easy to feel down when money isn’t moneying (trademark y’all can lease it) or hasn’t been for a while now. Even so, we persevere. YOU have persevered. No need to compare what our best looks like. Waking up, opening your eyes, taking a breath and trying is enough. You’re enough loves. I truly mean it. Congratulations on making it to 2026. Cheers to us 🥂. We’re going to do our best because we deserve a shot at happiness. We deserve dignity and hope. So we’ll take it cause it’s ours 🖤🖤🖤🌺

@thephototakeover thank y’all for creating a space where artist can connect and share our self expression. Capturing the hours of practice, love and passion that words sometimes can’t do justice. It was a blast to work with @blackphoenixsnaps. His eye and sharp instincts caught me just right. Thus we have these powerful beautiful collection of moments. You absolutely did this brother. Lastly a big thank you to @ellestudiosbrooklyn for the absolutely beautiful space. It was fantastic to work in.

@pretty_boy_ichi don't miss. That's just me being real. Had the opportunity to shoot with Ichi at one of our earlier @thephototakeover events and just got the chance to sit with him again at our most recent "He's Got a Have It" all male in-studio event and yeah... He knows what he's doing.

The images are complimented by @adornedintaji and her incomparable work. Rare we get to see the sterling silver pop out because she does tons of brass work but these hit the mark with Ichi's personal style.

Shot at two primary focal lengths and a varied 1/2 light setup.

Always on my @nikonusa Z9 and my 14-24/24-70 f2.8

I would absolutely work with him 100x over.

All of this was shot at our partner studio @ellestudiosbrooklyn whom we love and continue to work with because they literally are an amazing space. They host events and sessions and they have too many options to choose from to make your session unique. Book with them and see for yourself.

We are going to have an "invite-only" ticketed end of year event so DM me if you're interested 😉 taken in Elle Studios Brooklyn by @pretty_boy_ichi
