With my 222ForgottenCities movement I’ve made it my business to go and document all the places around the world where melanated people live that the media keeps a one dimensional view on. DeepEastOakland, South Jamaica Queens- NY, Brownsville - Brooklyn, 8thward
Mandeville - New Orleans, Englewood Chicago, North Philadelphia, West Baltimore, Watts California and (Tivoli Gardens) - Kingston Jamaica just to name a few.
Through these travels and visual cultivations I realized that we are all connected, not just through the struggle, but beyond the flesh & through the spirit. We are beautiful & it’s undeniably evident our vibrations keep this world spinning.
This realization was my inspiration to create something that could tie this message together and bring it to the people in a single bound, thus “THE POWER OF MELANIN” self published Book through 222MEDIA. This book was a way to create a blueprint, and sense of self that my people can heal their trauma and triggers through. Each picture I capture is a piece of history that I am giving back to my people that will uplift them.
Melanin: A chemical found in the body of humans, plants, and animals that is responsible for the dark color or pigmentation of hair, skin, or eyes. Some say those people who have more melanin are special; while others say that everyone has melanin, and there’s nothing unique about it. What we say is that melanin is more than a color or pigmentation; it is a key identifier of that which has been especially given to us by the High Creator. Within these pages is a look at how melanin expresses itself in both our people and the plants and fruits of the earth, showing our connection with nature, and our oneness with the planet.
222Media, The company I have founded is a platform created to show Narratives that are a reflection of my people & giving them the opportunity to see their stories and beauty through media, no longer to be exploited.
