Abstract

Photography

On "Rose Colored Laughter": "Often, we see the media portray Black men as dangerous, angry figures we should fear and avoid. Black masculinity takes on a persona of violence—justifying white society's persecution of the Black community. This collection of digital color photography embraces a truer side of Black masculinity: softness, pain, vulnerability, joy, and authenticity."
