One of my favorite songs of all time.
Throw back to a remix that I did for the Red and Meth “Part II (How High)” joint in 2011. I still think it holds up well 😎- swapping the commercial Toni Braxton stylings for that classic boom-bap 💯🔥

And I’m sorry you (and SO MANY) of your fellow white people refuse to listen to experts on race and racism (like me…and all Black people, really).

But we’re used to it.

Don't have a super large local or photography related audience here, but I suppose I should be responsible and use this platform for actual marketing sometimes.

I have some availability for weddings and engagement photos in 2025, and plenty still in 2026!

Travis Hunter became the first HBCU player to win the Heisman hours after Jackson State won its first HBCU national title, which is months before Shadeur will likely be the #1 pick in the NFL draft.

Remember when Deion Sanders ruined college football?

Republican talking points and thus policies are impervious to facts. Because the talking points are just a cover for the things they really want to do.
I regret to inform you that, relative to GDP, federal discretionary spending is actually pretty low.

The federal civil service headcount is lower than it was when Ronald Reagan was President.
