I Too

"[I Too am] a cultivator of change through voice and action" - Michael Olayede for #IToo

A portion of my portraits from the larger "I Too" project, created with Deshaun Wright and  Cyrus Aaron, as well as an additional photographic pieces are currently up and showing at The Wild Project at 195 East 3rd Street in Manhattan. The photos will be shown through October 22, 2016. They are also running in conjunction with Cyrus Aaron's powerful play "Someday", in which Michael Olayede stars in, and that is running through October 16. 

Go check them both out! 

Tickets for the play available at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/someday-tickets-27478630323?aff=erelexpmlt

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow

- Langston Hughes

We Are Still.

Still Here. Still Together. Still Strong. Still Beautiful. Still Powerful. Still Love. Still Unity. Still Brothers. Still Sisters. Still Family. Still Value. Still Matter.

 

Still Black.
