Challona Coleman: Changing the World with Music

I’m honored to highlight my good friend Challona Coleman, a multitalented musician who has quite a diverse and artistic style. I’ve known Challona for over 15 years and she’s always been a great friend and photo muse for me. She’s such a great talent that I hope takes over the musical world. I highlighted her for the August Artists of Color issue of The Denver Voice newspaper. You can read my article on her here.

K.W.E.E.N.WERK

I had the pleasure of interviewing and photographing Parker McMullen Bushman aka K.W.E.E.N.WERK, a social justice warrior and black environmentalist who promotes an inclusive and safe space for black people to enjoy the outdoors. We went hiking at Flatirons Vista trail outside of Louisville and completed a 5K hike. It was a great experience and great time learning about the work that Parker does.

My First Published Article: Denver Voice Photos and Article of a Black Cosplayer

I’m thrilled to announce my first journalistic article and photos were published! I was blown away when I saw the printed copy and was amazed at how great the layout looks. Race is never an easy topic to discuss but cosplayer Tif Von Batsy handled the topic with ease and was very eloquent discussing her experiences as a black cosplayer. I was excited to produce this article and was glad to see it well received.

After photographing Boulder Burlesque’s Hot Stuff Summer, I interviewed the producer Crista Reid to gain more insight about the dance organization. I was nervous to interview but found it very exciting and engaging. I’m looking forward to writing more articles and shooting more stories!
