The final 3 portraits of the body of work I made for the @black_arts_legacies project. This is the work I’m truly proud of, thank you for all the kind words for those who have spoken to me about it. I met so many amazing people while making these images. Every portrait session I reminisced, laughed, and sometimes even mourned with these members of my community - and I hope that comes across to you. We are here and we ain’t going anywhere. Thank you.
