I have stared at these pictures for two months trying to figure out what is best for the algorithm or which one makes me look fab— honestly all of them are fab and why do I care so much about the aesthetic when I don’t even post?? I digress. Completing undergrad and graduating was not only for myself but it was for my mom and my brother, both of which would have been more than happy to watch me walk across that stage. (Thankfully my mommas gifted me a locket with a picture of my mom and brother, notice it in the portraits?) When my mom died I wanted to give up on school, I honestly wanted to give up on everything but through the love, support, and prayers of my community— my people held me down. I graduated with a 1.8 GPA in high school and was 2nd to last in my class ranking, it had nothing to do with if I was capable of the work…. I wasn’t motivated, I didn’t particularly like school, I loved the environment but the classroom was too structured for me and I was more interested in talking to my girls or not being in class. It didn’t help that I thought I knew everything (still do, sometimes) but I wanted to get my degree so I took two gap years, left both my acting programs, left my hometown, and with my steps ordered I embarked on my journey at Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts. I’m so happy I chose to follow my heart and not what I believed everyone wanted from me. Choosing myself and my happiness was my greatest tool. I finished with a 3.4 gpa, merit scholarship, BSU president, some amazing lifelong friends, and MY MOTHAFUCKIN B.A. So cheers to that. 12 year old me wouldn’t believe the woman I am today but I dreamed, prayed, and worked for it, I wanted this. Thank you Texas Isaiah ( @kingtexas )for making your way to Manhattan with very little notice to capture this moment. I wanted these pictures to look at forever. I’m a FIRST gen grad, this is what breaking generational curses look like. Gabrielle. Robert. Michael. Rich. — Thank you for changing my life. Thank U mommas. Thank u to my chosen grandparents. I’m grateful. I’m blessed. I’m loved. I did thattttttt MFA, next?👀

The TS gala of the year has come and gone, I’m still in the room where it happened with the fab girls. I am so grateful and fortunate for the work Morticia & Devin have committed their lives to. To bask in the world of Black Trans Love is to know that god is within every FEMMEQUEEN. I LOOKED FABBBBBB. THE MUG WAS DISGUSTING (I ACT LIKE IM OK BUT I WANTED EVERYBODY TO THE BACK). Thank You to the hands of @iamthedayexperience for dusting this face. Ahhhh to be captured by @lexicalentry is the icing on the cake. To see us through the lens of another is a gift. My girl came out a day before FFS and made sure the dolls, the men’s, and the thems were documented for this groundbreaking 5 year anniversary of the @blacktranstravelfund I love you dearly sister🤍 To more Black love. May our dreams be what fuel our liberation.🕊️

All for her🤍

Touch this. Visible.

Getting my stuff. Life is doing it’s thing and I’m here taking it in. Releasing and accepting. Forgiving and extending grace. Learning to love me. This body. This face. This mind. This heart.
