The Two Paths Before Us: A New Year’s Reflection in Verse

At the dawn of a new year, we find ourselves standing at a quiet fork—between the comfort of the known and the wonder of the unknown. The Two Paths Before Us is a poetic meditation on choice, courage, and the promise of beginnings yet to unfold.

The future unfolds not in certainty, but in the courage to choose.

I am a native son of South Carolina. Born and bred in a former confederate state, I inherited my people's struggle and that battle has shaped me into an advocate and activist for the unheard and unseen. With my words and camera as my only weapon, I share with the world the beauty, uniqueness, and humanity of all those who are underrepresented. I highlight and levy praise on our triumphs, contextualize our struggles and vocalize unachieved goals. With every image I capture, I show the world, unconsidered perspectives and the unspoken truths that deserve to be heard.
