Another beautiful image from and a beautiful post by Diversity & Inclusion] that we’re honored to share here. All the remaining portrait sessions are currently booked

Repost from Diversity & Inclusion]

Hey fam, it feels a bit out of touch to say happy Friday after such a hard week. I sincerely hope that you’re well and have been able to be gentle with yourselves. Art Friday is back, with a very special Michaela edition. 🙏🏾✨
This week, I had the upreme honor of participating in the Black Magic project by Adam Davis. Davis (b. 1994) is an American Visual Artist, Educator, and Arts Education Advocate born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Black Magic is a collection of tintype portraits made around historically Black cities throughout America that will contribute to the largest contemporary archive of Black American life through tintype photography. This project is a beautiful exploration of Blackness, Queerness, Afrofuturism, and the Art of Magic/Spirituality. Yes, please.
I feel especially grateful to have my image included in this project, knowing what I know about cultural erasure, anti-blackness, and misogynoir. This project feels like the medicine I didn’t know I needed; a kind of archival belonging rooted in love and respect. Through this image, I get to communicate my dignified existence to present and future generations. A complicated/cool ancestor. Through this image, I am reminded of my personal power. What an infinitely wonderful gift.
Many thanks to , DarkRoomDetroit and the folks who held space with me this week. I needed that. If you’re in the Detroit area and identify as Black, head over to to learn how to participate. 🖤

Exciting news!! Freep Film Festival and Darkroom Detroit are partnering for a special program in conjunction with the Michigan premiere of “Grain.” Link in Bio!!

“Grain” explores the stories of those committed to using film in modern day photography. Whether it’s a fashion house seeking to bring a new edge to their creative work, an amateur perusing eBay for the perfect vintage Polaroid, or an influencer attempting to capture a comforting retro aesthetic on social media, analog photography has piqued the interest of people everywhere. Is this resurgence a backlash against digital photography? Is it just a trend perpetuated by our desire for authenticity in an increasingly superficial world? Or is it something else entirely?

Immediately following the screening at 1:30 p.m. Sat., April 30, at the Michigan Science Center, festivalgoers are encouraged to join Darkroom Detroit and “Grain” filmmakers Alex Contell and Tommaso Sacconi on a photo walk around Midtown Detroit.

In addition, a limited number of attendees will receive a free disposable camera and admission to a photo developing workshop led the next day by Darkroom Detroit.

A select number of photographs made by the participants in the film processing workshop will be published in the Sunday Free Press and on freep.com later in the month of May.
