They wanted an early Sunday morning workout. Just the two of them so that they would not be bothered. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to practice their dance and not be distracted by onlookers and I thought it was the perfect chance to get the two of them together for the shoot we’d talked about doing. They had never danced or shot together before and we were all a little unsure about what we would create. But, you know, that is the exploration…that is the adventure. They stepped into the dance studio. Stretched and loosened up. Connected. And proceeded to create. Both of these beautiful...

By Scottie Lowe I AM my hair.  I am my naps.  I am my African wooly hair.  I am every African woman who was beaten and told that she had to cover her hair or lose her life.  I AM every slave woman who loved her nappy hair and who had to see white women and mulatto slaves get preferential treatment for having straight hair.  I will NEVER as long as I live let straight hair define my beauty. If you ever watch that show “Yo Mama” on MTV, every show, they crack on someone for having nappy hair and everyone in the audience rolls with laughter.  Anyone who finds nappy headed momma...

Hershey is a young, vibrant and natural EarthSista on the move with a serious passion for dance and theater. Her affinity for perfomance grew out of her love for fashion and glamour and she stills dreams of owning a her own fashion boutique as well as a performance studio.

These are captures of Bintou, a model of Senegalese descent from Brooklyn. Dallas J. Logan was the photography of the striking images. He’s worked with a DSLR for about 2 1/2 years and in that short time he’s done magazine editorials, two clothing line campaigns, two skin care campaigns and an underwear line… He “now teach others the little bit I know.” In those two years I guess he has learned the technical aspects of photography but the creative artistry portrayed in his works belies that relatively short period of study. And his vision is clear in both his...
