Richie Shazam Tell Your Friends to Pull Up. New York City. 2020.
“Through my artistic expression, I’ve learned about myself and was able to learn about others. My photography lets me tell stories, send but als
(...) o transcend messages. My work connects me to who I am, where I come from, and most of all those around me. Pride is about celebrating our ability to stand up for ourselves. This year we are called upon to stand up and against the violence and hate thrust onto so many Black and brown bodies. Attending the Black Trans Lives Matter March in Brooklyn was a moving, historical moment.”
