We’re Getting Better - Episode 204: Who Are You Trying To Impress

Who are you trying to impress? I’ve been extremely geeked about the success so far of the We Love You project. I’ve talked about it in almost every episode of Shooting with Shooters and of course posting flyers all over social media for every city we visited. The goal is to take a the individual portrait of 1000 Black men ranging from babies to great grandfathers. So far we’ve hit 4 cities and now have had over 500 participants. Rewind to earlier this year. A month before my 30th birthday. I’m packing up my Brooklyn apartment and getting ready to move back to Maryland. I’m moving back home… for 2nd time. 5 years prior, I had made a similar move from Norfolk, Virginia back home to regroup. It’s great to have family that lets you come back and embraces you… but at some point you start to feel like you failed. After all, you’re not following the expected path to adulthood. You graduate high school, go to college. Four years later you start your career and find a wife or a husband then start a family. You work for about 30 years retire and enjoy life as a grandparent after watching your own kids follow the same path to adulthood. … yea, that wasn't and still isn’t my path.
