This is my personally curated #bestnine2017. Likes not taken into account, these are MY favorites. My mom visited me in BK just in time to hit Afropunk together. I directed my first music video. I moved to London. I have the best friends anyone could ask for. I have two beautiful nieces. I got to explore my creativity in ways I hadn’t imagined possible. I had the perfect birthday in a speakeasy jazz lounge with a tremendous singer. And through it all, I’ve raised my voice and my fist in opposition of those who would seek to further oppress any of my people. For all of its pains, 2017 has been a good year for me personally. I am more me than I have ever been before. And I’m more motivated to continue my journey, deeper into the maze, to find that voice inside. See you all in 2018. • #aboutme #2017 #selfreflection #introspection #family #friends #fulllife #bestlife
