Braiding my own hair is one of the most empowering skills I've picked up, because transforming how I look improves my spirits. This COVID season I took it up a notch & learned how to cut my hair. And this past weekend I took my first selfie portraits ๐ธ๐๐๐พ

"There are 3 primary drivers of results in life:
1) Your luck (randomness).
2) Your strategy (choices).
3) Your actions (habits).
2 of the 3 are under your control. But if you master those 2, you improve the odds that luck will work for you, not against you."

To think I almost didn't send in an entry for this. Lessons on the importance of trying anyway, especially when you have nothing to lose.

I started shooting sunsets on my mom's phone when I was about 10.
Over the years I realized I cared about capturing moments, whether at weddings, in portraits, or on the streets. Sometimes it's moments when

Been thinking a lot about homes lately. What would it look like if your home was first inside you, before anywhere else? Feels like it's the only home you truly have control over.

I'm realizing that it's often valuable to look back at who you've been, to make sure you're still all those awesome things that you were, and then proactively reverse your steps if you've gone off your path.
Note to self: Reflect more! Not all the time forward looking.

I find editing to be very therapeutic. The process of tweaking a photo to the point where it matches a feeling or a memory. As always, one of those things I don't make enough time for.
As always, work in progress.

My dad was coming down the stairs with haste, whispering "rainbow." (my mom was on the phone). And so we're quietly hastening to my balcony to catch it while we can. Clearly I get these things from somewhere.

Deciding not to attend journalism grad school in New York (I got admitted to Columbia and CUNY). Did tech ecosystem storytelling at Andela for ~4 years instead (while freelancing). Zero regrets.
Itโs quite fascinating seeing that many people arenโt used to fact-checking.
Asin someone spews a list of things and people accept it and no-one does any homework? Not even small Google. Quite wonderful.

With photography, I'm coming to realise that light is everything. How much light is too much? How does the light affect mood? Where is the light falling on a subject? Light is everything.
Was shooting portraits around the office today. This light was bae.
