I wasn’t born with much, but I was born with vision. As a kid I was always behind a camera filming skit directing cousins and capturing life as I saw it. I used that passion to become my schools first Black student president blending comedy storytelling and leadership. I went on to study film in university not to chase fame but to master my craft and tell the stories no one else would. After graduation I created The Link Up Crew Collective a space for artists like me to collaborate grow and be seen. That led to being selected for a national emerging artist program. Since then, I have shot celebrities like Sean Paul Def Leppard Green Day and Kardinal Offishall. But more than chasing names I use my camera to uncover truths amplify voices and give back. I believe God gave me the gift of vision to build something lasting. Through film and photography, I aim to show young people they matter their stories matter and money should never be a barrier to creating impact.
