And with those strong emotions I really just miss being able to go out and shoot how I want to. I like this new place but I also miss the familiarity of being able to just pull up to my friends and spend the day when I’m not feeling like me

I don’t really like sharing how I feel on the internet because people are strange. I wanted to post this yesterday in celebration of a day that was finally recognized by the very institutions that hindered us giving us some semblance or reparations.

That was until I was informed that there was a bill passed stating that all DEI offices will become defunded and essentially disbanded on college campuses.

What does this have to do with the post Jay ? This is one of my good friends and past coworkers that I met during my 3.5 years working in the DEI office at my university.

A friendship that crosses boarders because, although we look the same we are from completely different worlds. That office connected all forms of minority groups all around campuses at predominantly white institutions. Whether is was my African, Mexican, Asian or other international colleagues. Facilitated the most diverse friend groups and created support systems that otherwise would not have existed because the truth is people don’t like how hard it is to search for community on these campuses.

What happened was not only a gross and deplorable misuse of power. It was a direct and intentional attack on the same groups that these ministers and governors were claiming to stand in solidarity with when the were campaigning to be re-elected. The events of 2020 have become just another l*l and we are back to the same thing we expected from before all this had started.

I post this bitter-sweet photo today to show appreciation for a friend that has been there for me through time. But I also post this photo to say goodbye to MOSAIC the only part of that institution that made waking up bearable and tolerable.

Closing out this season with some shots with one of my favorite friends and model. I reflect on this shoot as my “you might actually be good at this” feeling starts to surface. I remember taking some photos of the trees at my old job place way back in 2018. So I have to say thank you to all my supports

This time around I don’t really have a big statement or long run explanation. I did some work some of my favorite work actually. I didn’t post it because I asked myself “is this the best work you could’ve done”. The short answer is yes and calm down just put it out. So just put it out. That is all.

I’m really not one for dramatic end of year posts or false promises for the new year that I’ll probably go back on in a week, but I want to talk to all the creatives and aspiring creatives when I say this.

As an individual what I’ll say about 2021 is that it was an interesting year, I hurt and was healed, I had my rough days and my great days, I found myself as an individual and let go of a lot of things that challenged who that individual is now. 😬

As a creative ? 🤔 I now feel like I’m starting fresh, mainly because 2 of my hard drives broke (pray for my data recovery which is why there’s only one photo). I didn’t post things because I wanted them to be perfect, perfect honestly is subjective. I look at photos that I took like this one and remember when I would run around taking sh*tty pictures of plants at a job a kinda hated. It made the days better and I felt expressive. Long story short, CREATE, show off what your mind created and how you see the world. Stop caring about if it’s good enough or one upping the last post or song or video. Just do the damn thing and do it unapologetically. 🙌🏾

NOW what is my promise ?? I’m going to be a better person than yesterday, and that’s all I have to be and that’s all you have to be as well or not lmao it’s your life man. 👌🏾
