Not Tired Yet

Not tired yet is a piece honoring the ongoing work, sacrifice and power of Black women,Black Trans women , non binary who have led the protests and societal change in New York city and beyond. Black women have been at the forefront of profound change in the United States for centuries, from historical figures like Harriet Tubman, to more recent champions of civil rights like Rosa Parks and Angela Davis. In the summer of 2020, they were again at that forefront, leading many of the protests in NYC following the death of George Floyd and demanding justice for Black Lives lost at the hands of police. I wanted to shine a light and present them in all their strength and beauty in a setting removed from the intensity and pressure of the protests. I photographed and interviewed many of these new leaders and through that process gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work and how far-reaching it’s impact has been felt.
