Congratulations to the graduating class of 2026 🎓

A special congratulations to my mentee, @makedamechele 🤍 A now double Ivy grad, a Master’s in Social Work mami, and the definition of the Bronx breaking barriers.

When I was first assigned to be your mentor at BxD, I was nervous. I truly wasn’t sure if there was anything I could teach you. Our first day on site together was the launch of the Bronx Cannabis Hub, and from there we built so much together;working on the BLOC, watching you rise into leadership as part of the first Youth Advisory Board, advocating at RBG meetings and seeing you lead other interns while collecting signatures for Participatory Budgeting in the South Bronx.

Something must’ve gone right because you came back to Bronx Defenders the very next summer, ready to learn even more.

But the truth is, you taught me just as much along this journey. I’m so grateful to have experienced your light, your joy, and your brilliance as you continue reaching new heights. I am endlessly proud of you and can’t wait to continue celebrating all that you’re becoming.

And a special thank you to @aplace4healing for assisting me on this shoot. Your skills with light are divine

Evolution part 4: UNBOUND FEMME by @makeup_yourlifee

Unbound Femme feels like a statement to who she is rather than a name. A woman stepping into who she is on her own terms. “Unbound” is letting go of limits and expectations, and “Femme” is obvi femininity that’s chosen and self defined.�Free, bold, and fully her.

Grateful to be apart of bringing her vision to life 🌟Collaborating Yuraisi is one of my favorite things to do because it’s just always effortless between us. Proud to witness her journey as an artist evolve through different mediums. She has so much more in store for yall so stay tuned!!

“knowing the good times immortalized in your smile” - @wesleyjoseph__✨

for this timeless shoot I asked @aplace4healing for a makeup look that recreated tears in motion. crying face. but I wanted her to smile! she didn’t wear her heart on her sleeve. she wore it on her cheek. with a teardrop falling beside it. releasing emotions we felt so deeply, we experienced both love and loss. in each frame the sun began shining brighter and brighter. the light became so bright that we had no other choice but to bask in it! 🫶

the beauty of resilience. 🥲

first time shooting medium format. 🎞️
first time collaborating on HMU.
first time making art with grief.
thank you Afisha for creating with me! 💛

another timeless tune.

🎥 so many, so many sad songs 🥲🎶

sometimes bad things happen to good people. and it doesn’t make sense. life doesn’t always either. but coming back from it. welcoming people in. brings back hope. laughter. and eventually joy. ✨

This project is inspired by grief. By literal loss and past hurts we have carried for far too long. The process of letting go became a celebration. A return back to ourself. Before the pain. It’s the first time I wanted to touch on something so heavy. But the first time I heard this song, it made me want to. There’s something light within it. And some form of comfort in knowing we all move through this. I wanted to let all my heavy tears turn into something beautiful. 💧

The beauty of resilience. ✨
another timeless tune.

Ms. Black New York, USA 2026 👑 —I dedicate my reign to the legacy I come from 🖤✨

I’ve always said that being a Lee has been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. 🤍 The love my grandparents, Daddy, and Uncles have poured into me has been a driving force behind the confidence I’ve carried throughout the years. They’ve truly been the wind beneath my wings.

While none of them are here with us today in the physical world, I feel them every single day — and I hope I’m making them proud. 🪽✨

Here’s to knowing where (and who) you come from, and using that as fuel to achieve everything you want… and more. 🔥🗽

Extended cut with Naderson: whether a painting or photograph, the process of creating a finished body of work involves several moving parts, vision, and a trusting team. Our crew came together with our own mediums at Naderson’s art studio, and ideas were brought to life, movement to set, and loads of inspiration to take home.

On and off the canvas, screen and pages a joining force can create a ripple effect that ultimately turns into something bigger than everyone in the room. Although our creation, we also bring YOU in the room to enjoy, interpret, be inspired.

Enjoy our extended cut, from the crew 🤍

Goodbye to the one that I once knew…
11/11 marked another solar return for me. We wanted to play, and this is what we created.
Many moons ago, I danced in the darkness with only the sunroof open to the brightness above, listening to this masterpiece. This past week, I finally had the chance to create visuals for the vision this song once gave me. I let go and let God work miracles in my life. Thank you to the team—God is good. Ase.
I’ll be sharing more about ways you can support or collaborate as time goes on. Hit the notifications to stay updated.
