2 Princes | #TheArtHype . Before the thought of children ever crossed my mind someone once told me, “I was built for this.” . I didn’t know what that meant at the time, but two years and 2 under 2 has been a special time in my life. . As fathers, we bear the weight of the world of the world on our shoulders. But if it’s anything like holding my sons, I am here for it 365. . Father’s Day for ME is a reminder of the promise. .

Me | #TheArtHype . “I am melanin regardless of what the outside perception is. When you at elight skin people try to come for your blackness. We are melanated with different tones. Sometimes I forget and I have to remind myself that I am not in anyone’s narrative. I can’t help the skin I’m in but I can embrace it cause it’s gorgeous.” . #MoonMelanin . Silhouette and Words: @thecursivecurator . “Moon Melanin is a photo series that touches on the relationship between melanated people and the moonlight that illuminates us. The moon provides direct reflection of the sun and in this light we find aspects of us that have been kept in the shadows.” - @thearthype - . . . . #blackblack #blavity #shootingwithshooters #moonmelanin #makeportraits #portraits #peoplescreative #blackfamily #blackfathers #visualauthority #melaninpoppin #okayafrica #shootingwithshooters #melanin #african #moonlight #moonlightmovie #manymoons #okayafrica #soldevelopment #melanin #glowup #glowbytasha #blackbeauty #moonlightmagic #blackglow #darknslay
