TO BE BLACK & BEAUTIFUL

February is here!

and so is Black History Month!

Celebrating everything about being and living BLACK!

My chocolate skin , My kinky curls, My jackson 5 nostrils, My huge lips.

Everything that makes me BLACK!

I love being black, and wish to be nothing other than myself.

God creates nothing but beauty.

I am beauty.

Excited to be in a month where Blackness can we celebrated in every single day.

February can go as slow as it wants.

Our beauty, our talents, our gifts, our presence should always be celebrated and embraced.

I'M BIGGY-BLACK-BLACKETY-BLACK AND I'M BLACK!

Black History Month,2017.

During my last trip to England, I had the opportunity to work with Christina of byafrique.

Daylight

With a team of 3, we took to the streets to shoot some 'The Keeper Of The Wardrobe'.

Dreaded the idea of shooting under the sun, but luckily we made it when the sun was just about setting.

I spent a lovely Friday afternoon with the ever so talented, Yagazie Emezi! She is such a beautiful person at heart and I am glad we could meet up to create such beauty. Enjoying the cool breeze while sitting on a box in her backyard was the perfect scene.
