Prior to 2020, my lens focused on the vibrant world of hip-hop concerts, capturing unforgettable moments with artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Anderson .Paak, and Drake. But the pandemic brought it all to a halt, leaving me in a creative abyss, struggling to find motivation.

Then, the protests erupted.

And from the depths of uncertainty, a profound awakening emerged. I felt an undeniable pull to join the protests, to become part of a movement larger than myself. With camera in hand, I rode my Harley Sportster through the streets of LA, immersing myself in the powerful tide of the movement.

In these photographs, I sought to distill the protests into intimate portraits that transcend mere observation. These are not passive bystanders; they are warriors of positive transformation, working tirelessly to reshape society.

Each photo bears a name that radiates empowerment—a daily affirmation, a declaration of self-worth. By uttering these names, observers summon the strength to embrace their own power, fueling a fire of unwavering positivity.

Witness the unwavering resilience, the indomitable spirit of hope, and the relentless determination embodied in every frame. Allow these photographs to ignite the fire of change and compassion within you, shaping a world where triumph prevails.
