Black Love On Our Terms
Black Love On Our Terms is a project celebrating Black love and explores dynamic romantic relationships, the power of self-love and the strength of community healing. For this project we went through various iterations for style and direction, but we eventually settled on the idea of a “ Black Love Renaissance”. You can check out the full suite here.

Wendy & Eddy Osefo’s Profile//
We brought in Wendy and Eddy Osefo from The Real Housewives of Potomac to the studio for an intimate photoshoot that I Art Directed alongside the immortal Nate Palmer where we planned outfits, backdrops and couple poses. We also brought in veteran HuffPoster Taryn Finley to moderate a fun couples Q&A about the origins of their relationships, hardships and what makes them sure of each other enough to choose the love they share everyday. Here are some photo splits and a clip of the Q&A session for your eyeballs. You can find her one-on-one interview without EIC Danielle Belton here, which we also shot in the studio that day.
