A Creative Work Celebrating the Beauty and Genius of Black Men
Gifted is a creative work focused on expanding a positive image of black men throughout culture. Oftentimes we are surrounded by so many negative images of black men: ones that devalue and fail to represent the power and the magnitude of who they are. This is a platform for the image and voice of black men today. One that challenges the current climate and reminds them of who they are.

In 2010, I began photographing and interviewing black men out of curiosity. I wanted to know their dreams and their fears. Over time the curiosity evolved into a desire to share what I found. The project now serves as a platform for their multitude of truths. Gifted features remarkable men in the Arts, Business, Politics, and Finance. Through this project, my hope is not to change the views of others, but to ignite pride through positive imagery that reminds black men of the undeniable talent and influence they possess.
