Portrait by @philipdanielducasse for @i_d magazine. Styling by @_raymondgee. . The portrait was accompanied by a manifesto as part of Up & Rising, a celebration of extraordinary Black voices for i-D’s 40th anniversary issue. Manifesto text included below: . Manifesto 1. We’re building radical Black schools in the hood. We’re liberating our youth with Black radical thought and practice. 2. We’re promoting a cultural movement for Black love. We privilege the well-being, joy, beauty, and liberation of all Black people regardless of age, class, complexion, gender, nationality, or sexuality. 3. We’re forming a Black nation. We’re mending the tattered fabric of society within our community. We’re taking care of our people. 4. We’re designing a new world on the ashes of the old. We’re going back to the ancient practices, while using an afrofuturist lens to re-envision urban, rural, and technological development. 5. We’re worshipping our own gods because before we had our own traditions. We join the universe in thanking Blackness for its eternal presence. 6. We’re protecting Black women and femmes. They are the origin of all life and creation that links all people and when we put into place the systems that liberate Black women and femmes we will have put in place the systems that will liberate us all. 7. We’re healing. We’re working to be of sound body, mind, and spirit. 8. We’re dispelling the myth of scarcity because it protects those hoarding wealth. We believe in the shared abundance of what we create and what we exchange so we can enjoy the fruits of life with each other. 9. We’re tearing down prisons and police. We will administer humane systems of rehabilitation and we will keep us safe. . #blackradicalmanifesto #portraitphotography #theblackschool #idmagazine #fashion #dior
