Wow 2 Gallaries in one Weekend !
I want to sincerely thank Kiki Arts Collaborative for hosting and presenting my photography. It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to showcase Fem Queen Archivals and to explore the concept of fashion as armor a visual language of protection, power, identity, and pride.

This body of work is deeply rooted in storytelling, legacy, and reverence. Being able to present it in a space that values art, community, and culture means more than I can express.
I also want to extend my deepest gratitude to Monad NYC for their appreciation and for allowing me to present my work in their Still Moving exhibition honoring Black History Month. To be included in a space that uplifts and celebrates Black artistry, legacy, and movement is something I hold with great respect and gratitude.

Hey y’all, as some of you know, I’ve been doing photography for some time now. I love my community and the creativity I’m surrounded by. I have a deep passion for my community to be seen and heard for the work they put in the work we put in as a whole.
HMI is always a beautiful event to attend, and I love capturing moments that will last forever.♥️

This year, my photography has been about connection above all else. Every image I made came from a genuine desire to tell real stories and show people as they truly are, not how they are expected to be. I leaned into a photojournalistic approach, focusing on honest moments, real emotion, and lived experiences that don’t need explaining.
My work continues to center LGBTQ+ voices, all gender expressions, and the freedom to exist outside of norms. I use color, movement, and expression to highlight identity, individuality, and truth. I want my images to feel lived in, bold, and human, capturing both softness and strength.
I’m deeply thankful for every person I worked with, crossed paths with, and shared space with this year. Your trust, energy, and stories made this work possible. I hope people felt a sense of belonging, visibility, and connection through my images, and were reminded that everyone deserves to be seen as they truly are.

A letter to their younger self, the person who dreamed with glittered eyes. You’ve built a life filled with grace, strength, and softness. This is womanhood, learning to nurture your femininity, protect your purity, and still shine with the same wonder you began with. This is Hyper Gloss, where the innocence of those glittered dreams evolves into a radiant expression of power and poise. It’s the glossy reflection of growth, self-love, and divine femininity, a reminder that even as you mature, you never lose your sparkle; you simply learn to polish it into something timeless, bold, and beautifully your own.

I believe in being a voice for people, speaking power into them, reminding them that their presence is not only needed but essential. Too often, some are taught to shrink their light, to quiet their strength, or to question their worth. My mission is to break that cycle. I want to build environments where we all can stand tall in our brilliance, lead with confidence, and know that our voice carries impact.

This editorial titled “HYPER GLOSS” by Jermaine Valentine communicates a strong, stylized message blending hyper femininity, rebellion, and fantasy as a commentary on identity.
Her segment captures the beauty of self ownership unfiltered, powerful, and real.

Femininity is not a weakness. It’s curated, chaotic, dangerous, and ours to define. The Artificial Sweetheart isn’t here to be consumed, she’s reprogramming the system.
Owning her individuality.
