Are you involved with something new that you would like the readers to know about: Yes! I have just launched a social/ cultural/art project called The Black Light Project. It is a beautiful photography and documentary project which talks about the negative media narratives surrounding Black males. The goal of the project is to challenge these narratives and begin the important conversations about how to have accurate perceptions of the people around us.
