START OVER It was early February. I got one of Snap’s infamous text messages. “WYA.” He pulls up to the studio. We start talking. Everything under the sun. What it really means to get a second chance at life. OG air max bubbles and what Nike got wrong on the 2026 version. Having children. Then we take some flicks. I’ve always admired Snap’s courage to keep growing. Sitting with him, you feel the weight of someone who has been on the other side of something and chose to keep going anyway. The theme of life this year has been something I didn’t want to learn. Sometimes you have to pivot. Start over. The hardest part is the internal pressure that comes with it. The voice that calls it failure. That weight you carry pretending it’s not heavy. I’ve spent most of my life acting like I had everything under control. Like I’m good. Like asking for help is a weakness. I’ve always hated to struggle while people watched. I’m the type of person to fall, and even if you reach out your hand and ask if I need help, I’d say nah, let me struggle in peace. As a veteran who went to war with life, I carried that weight alone for a long time. I sit with my PTSD and trace back everything it took to become myself. The battles that nobody saw. The weight I refused to put down. But this year I put that shit down and asked for help. From everybody. And now I feel like I’ve finally started breathing. Snap knew that feeling. I’m just catching up. 📸 @thankyousnapgod

Life Update: Pivot Szn ⚡️

The first time I met @asapferg was in 2006. @kwasikessie told me about this dude from Harlem making chains inspired by Nigo. Colorful stones and pendants, super crazy. We wanted to create one for Laced Magazine. A few years later, Kwasi showed me a leather belt he was planning to style on Chris Brown. I asked who made it. 
He said, Ferg. I laughed like, he makes belts too? Then a few years after that, @callenderde played me a new artist he was working with. It was A$AP Rocky… and who was on the song with him? 
Ferg again! I looked at Cal like, Ferg makes music too? What I didn’t understand back then, but I see clearly now, is that he’s always been fearless in his creative expression. Never afraid to evolve. 20 years later, I get to say I art directed a Ferg cover for @dazedmiddleeast surrounded by family. Ramshah Kanwal behind the lens, someone I’ve had the privilege of watching grow into an incredible photographer. Her first cover shoot, how amazing is that! The man, the myth, the legend Kwasi Kessie, who i’m proud to say I’ve known for almost 30 years, styling the shoot. 
 My cousin Rob assisting!
 And so many friends and family showing up to create something special in Harlem, my birthplace. Forever grateful to be a part of moments like this.
