About Me

First & foremost...Sending out love, light & positive energy to my personal Guru Priestess Iya TaShia Asanti, who is my absolute shero in the struggle!I am a masculine woman of African & Choctaw Indian decent. I love being a STUD! I support same Sex Marriage 100%.I am a nationally syndicated journalist, poet, self-publisher, author and photographer. My passion in life is using my writing and photography to uplift my people, and sharing the knowledge...By any means necessaryI use my images and writing as tools to educate, empower, and uplift all people. I believe that photography is a universal language that every culture can embrace. I believe it is my duty to bring attention to issues that oppress us...racism, classism, homophobia, sexism, social, political and economic issues. I believe as a nation of African descendants we must have reverence for ourselves and the desire to create positive change. These few things are the keys to salvation for our race. Only then can we truly rise above our collective oppression.My writing and images have been published in magazines, newspapers, and advertisements, used in film sequences, book covers, and much, much more! My images have also been included in several Underground Exhibitions at the prestigious Getty Museum.I am the former editor of Stanley Bennett Clay Magazine and Gay Black Female Magazine. What Up Stanley!!!!!!!!!!Last but not least I am married to an amazing, wonderful, spiritual and intelligent woman!Please pick up my second self-published book, In The Midst Of My Blackness!
