Throwback Thursday.

Reflecting on an incredible evening of film, fashion, powerful dialogue, and community at I Am Successful… Unfolding.

This experience was created to celebrate storytelling, individuality, and the power of Black men defining success on their own terms.

Grateful to every model, panelist, designer, creative, and supporter who helped bring this vision to life.

The work continues.

Highlighting one of my former I Am Successful… features, Dr. Stanley Andrisse — once incarcerated, now a scientist, author, and educator at Howard University.

He recently shared this with me:
“I’ve done many photo shoots over the years. Yours remains the best. Your work and art is powerful.”

Comments like this remind me why I Am Successful… exists — to uplift Black men, whether they’ve faced incarceration, life’s obstacles, or simply deserve greater visibility.

Thanks to you, I’ve reached my deposit goal for the 2026 event, but donations help me expand my reach and impact.
