Afro Culture (My Culture)

To Be Here, Kory Jean Kingsley 

After living in Savannah, Georgia for the past four years, I have developed a connection with the locals and culture of the Southeast. As a white female, I find myself being pulled at by stereotypes during every day interactions, especially with black men; and a whole different set of stereotypes undoubtedly dashes through the minds of these men during their interactions with me. 

I have found that the best way to address this is to challenge them directly. This has led me to photograph the black men and boys that I’ve befriended throughout my neighborhood.

“If the concept of God has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If God cannot do this, then it is time we got rid of Him.”
