About Me

Robert Mugabe is the President of Zimbabwe. For how much longer? I'm not sure. They have a run-off election in the near future because he cannot accept defeat, I guess.
I believe this man has single-handedly turned this country upside down. There has been a mass exodus of artists, educators, doctors. Inflation is at 8000%. Please visit the link to inform yourself of what's going on in a country once praised be Bob Marley and Lucky Dube:
Peace,
Earning a living capturing moments with my camera is my goal. I have the utmost respect for the art and I hope it shows in my photos.
I am studying Psychology and want to divide my time between photography and educating black youth by opening a recreation center, or charter school.
I want to make drastic changes in my diet like removing sugar, white flour, milk, etc -- but damn if I don't love me a big ass bowl of cheerios with so much sugar the milk turns gray!

BE THANKFUL.

"Okay I am recognizing that the voice inside my head
Is urging me to be myself but never follow someone else
Because opinions are like voices
We all have a different kind
So just clean out all of your ears
These are my views and you will find that
We revolutionize over the kick and the snare..."
