Black

I share with you a curated piece called Black.

These 9 photos, taken by me, showcase the highs and lows of the Black experience. There is so much to be proud of, and a lot of pain to come to terms with that I may not have included here. The Black experience and how it resonates with every Black person is different. I am just happy to share a part of it with you.
