In this striking headshot, an African-American individual exudes confidence and cultural pride. Dressed in a vibrant, African-inspired shirt, their look is a bold celebration of heritage and self-expression. Their rich red locs frame their face, adding warmth and character to the portrait. With a thoughtful yet relaxed pose—face resting gently in their left hand and right hand placed on their left thigh—they create a sense of quiet introspection. Dressed in casual jeans and seated on an unseen stool, they remain the focal point against a sleek gray-silver backdrop. The balanced lighting enhances their features, drawing attention to the depth and vibrancy of both their expression and attire.

This lineage fuels his mission to use dance as a tool for transformation and social change.

Trained at The Ailey School and Joffrey Ballet School, he graduated Summa Cum Laude with an MA in Dance Education from CUNY-Hunter College.
