My people, it is my distinct pleasure to share this @esquire cover with you guys! My FIRST with them. It has always been a dream of mine to grace the cover of especially esquire magazine! Growing up, being an esquire man was the epitome of style and masculine refinement. Dramatic, yet assured ... being able to see myself on this is literally a dream come true! I dedicate this to my mom @joyce.coco56 whose love, guidance & prayers sowed the seeds. Though she isn’t here to see her son grow to this today ... I love you and thank you for raising me to have dream, style and vision. Thank you for raising an @esquire man! I’m going to make you so proud, as you look down on me, my love! Thankyou to @randipeck for your generousity and endless support for this cover! Thank you to @rw3ll for your vision and care. Special thanks to the @hunterh for writing this beautiful and honorable piece honoring my mom and our story. Thank you!! Big shout out & thank you to @andrewmukamal and his team and a rowdy thank you to @alfonsofn’s support for the styling of this cover. Heartfelt thank you to the incredible photographers @abdmstudio for their work with these visuals! Also, a hearty thank you to my incredible team for making this happen. The architect @mariannashafran; Along with my groomer @risharocks and my incredible barber @goosethebarber
