- [ ] This vision came into my mind on December 18th 2021 after brunch & I started to build the mood board that same night. I knew exactly how I wanted my makeup, hair & styling & began reaching out to everybody 1 by 1 who I knew would make a perfect team for this. Along the process so many things changed, but I was so determined & hungry to see it through, I gave no fucks about the hardships, it kept the fire under my ass to bring it to life. It was exciting, painting this picture. I kept seeing it done in my head. The stylist for this shoot was so thorough with me + everyday anticipation started to build. I caught a flight from LA to NY on February 6th 2022 & we created history the next day. Always trust YOUR process. I love creative directing + seeing my visions come to life is such an epic emotion. I know I make my ancestors proud with my creative freedom that they didn’t get to exercise. It’s rare how this works & I’ll 4ever appreciate it- SYN. THANK YOU TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO SHOWED UP + DID THEIR MAGIC & HAD FUN WITH ME Photographer: @kendallbessent Styling: @Aldotg Creative director + Muse: @laylasynclaire MUA: @Derrickbernardmakeup Hair: @uhmmwhat
