Nancy Reagan with Mr T as Santa Claus

“Today is a great day in Hollywood.”

Me: When I first picked up a camera and discovered I wanted to do nothing more in this life than tell stories through the lens of a camera, everyone else thought I was dreaming too big. I didn’t have many mentors or peers that wanted to pursue a career in cinema and television that looked like me or came from neighborhoods similar to mine. Representation was scarce. Now, I pull energy, good vibes and high hopes from these faces: black and brown men and women telling OUR stories whether it be in front of the lens or behind it. I finally feel like my dreams are closer than they appear, obtainable even more so. Seeing this masterpiece created by Lacey Duke (as seen below), finally makes me feel like a part of a really cool, exclusive club. These are the portraits that will decorate the walls of my home someday. Follow #strongblacklead on IG now for more!

Netflix’s Strong Black Lead project even featured behind-the-scenes footage and photos of the talent celebrating this milestone in Hollywood together.

Fear of intimacy... Accurate to a certain extent. Not afraid to show people who I am but I do get uncomfortable around New people. That's all due to being back stabbed and betrayed countless times by friends and past girlfriends. Eh Whaddauagonnado

As always it was great to see them, but it was even better to give them the figures that I worked mad hard on. Their graciousness blew my mind, just like it does every time. I was enthralled to know that the figures I made for them previously are in the Dojo.. And these will be joining them. Except maybe Blaze’s, who said “I might have to cop this for my personal collection.”

Either way, it was the best day of my life. I can’t wait to get back to the workshop and dream up another batch of something Sick Wicked for the masters of the black majik.

Who made this
