FRIDAY FAM DROP - GER DUANY WALK TOWARDS THE RISING SUN . One of my favorite people on this planet is my brother Ger Duany. I can honestly say I’ve never been so simultaneously (and constantly) intrigued, inspired, amused, enlightened and enriched by a person. The story of a child-of-war is traumatic beyond what most of us can imagine. The task of revisiting and analyzing these memories is something that many don’t have the bravery to delve into. . I have been on the outskirts of Ger’s life for about a decade now and I know he has been wrestling with how to tell his life story since around 2003. Our initial interactions were based on artwork during his years as a top NYC model and gradually deepened as time went on. In the past three years Ger quietly opened the doors of his “memoir journey” to me and invited me in and take a look at what he was creating (I will be forever grateful for this privilege.) Riveting is an understatement. . Ger’s story is raw and sometimes jarring beyond belief and the version he presented to the world could have gone in many different directions. As a testament to his deep, soul-driven purpose to help others navigate the struggles he faced, he made the decision with his publishers, to write his memoir for the YA Market (Young Adults.) The decision to plant the seed in the younger generation gets my mad respect. But yo, trust me… this is not a simple “kid’s book.” It is full of raw truth and hard-to-believe stories that will appeal to and inspire EVERYONE as Ger goes from the lowest lows to the highest highs (& not necessarily in a straight line.) So grab this book quick as you can, y’all. It drops on the 22nd anywhere you buy your books. (Pre-order today on Amazon.) Ger also reads the Audio book. . (Here’s a new lil TuTchT portrait inspired by a shot by Bob Mahoney on the set of “The Good Lie.” I’ll be sharing some more about Ger early next week… so swing thru.) @gerduany #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #GerDuany #WalkTowardsTheRisingSun #LostBoysofSudan #TopBlackMaleModels #YoungBlackHollywood #IHeartHuckabees #TheGoodLie #UNHCRAmbassador #GarenThomas #CreatingDopeArtinTimesofCovid #FridayFamDrops https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSxuk3lhL8/?igshid=1qum6tdqdsqnp

In honor of WORLD REFUGEE DAY which swept past us on June 20 and the ongoing humanitarian and political crisis in Sudan … A word about my brother Ger Duany. (see the following post for a TuTchT portrait of Ger.) . Ambassador Ger Duany has become one of the most impacting relationships I’ve developed over the past decade. What he has added to my own life, intellect, heart and soul is massive, and yet just a tiny fraction of what he has added to the intellect, heart and soul of America (and the world at large.) Although not all of us have had to deal with the severe traumas of violent, forced displacement and war-related emotional and physical scarring, we are all refugees in some sense, all wanderers seeking a place of relative peace for our gifts, skills, and passions to take root. . Our national policies on immigration and refugees shift (slowly) over the years on political tides. They might often be out of sync with our own personal beliefs, and feel far beyond our individual control. Control of the ports-of-entry to our OWN hearts, however, is solely in our own hands. Just like our country, our personal lives are vastly enriched when we open those flow-ways. World Refugee Day comes and goes, but please take time to share about the refugees that have enriched your lives. . @ger_duany @734coffee @usaforunhcr @unhcrkenya @officialhhsp @TuTchTig #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #GerDuany #RedefineRefugees #WorldRefugeeDay #RefugeesWelcome #LostBoysofSudan #GerDuanyTuTchT #TopMaleModelsofColor #TuTchTModelPortraits #SudaneseModels #SudaneseActors #SudanUprisings #SudanRevolts #SudanMassacre #BlueForSudan #EnrichedbyRefugees https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBTk5algle/?igshid=1nxyzjy6og9f8

HAPPY BORNDAY GER DUANY All the best to this “tall, dark, scary immigrant refugee from a war-ravaged country who came to steal jobs from good Americans.” okay so… jobs like standout college athlete, celebrated top fashion model, critically-acclaimed Hollywood actor, motivational speaker, author, humanitarian activist, author and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador for Refugees. THANK YOU, brother, for sharing your phenomenal skills, tenacious compassion, planet-warming smile with us and for choosing to plant your roots in the soil of our country. We are massively richer for it! YOU are a living example of American’s greatness! (I put the 40th BD TuTchT on this great shot of Ger at Toronto Film Festival, captured by lensman Blair Getz Mezibov for Mr. Porter.) @ger_duany @usaforunhcr @unhcrkenya @mrporterlive @blairgetzmezibov #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #GerDuany #Happy40thGerDuany #TuTchTfam #TopInternationModelsofColor #TopBlackModel #TopMaleModelsofColor #BlackHollywood #TheGoodLie #ReeseWitherspoon #FemiOguns #GreatAmericanImmigrants #LostBoysofSudan #ChildSoldier #UNHCR #UNHCRGoodwillAmbassadorGerDuany #BlairGetzMeziboyPhotography #MrPorter #AmericanDiversity #ThankYouGer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-fsM7lbPk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7ex8qrru7fbv

HAPPY BORNDAY GER DUANY I don’t pretend to understand it, but some bonds seem to be forged supernaturally. Even though I’m not a naturally gregarious person and i lack a certain social ease when connecting with strangers, an ease that others seem to have in spades, I’ve learned throughout my life that when i recognize these bonds it’s wise to embrace them, step out of my comfort zone and do everything i can to explore and strengthen them. When this instinct of “kindred spirit” hits in a particularly strong way, i feel almost accountable to the Universe to explore what can come of my intersecting purpose with this person. Whose to say what the Universe intends. More often than not, when I pursue these bonds they solidify instantly & the connection often becomes among the most productive and enduring of my journey. And yeah, about the whole “journey” thing... knowing the details of Ger Duany’s mind-blowing journey and being able to witness the milestones of his 40th year on this planet and the welcoming of his firstborn son at the same time I’m in collaboration with him on our mutual projects is a massive honor and privilege. (I created this portrait of Ger a couple years ago to help promote the release of his hit film “The Good Lie.”) @ger_duany @TuTchTig #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #GerDuany #Happy40thGerDuany #TuTchTfam #TopInternationModelsofColor #TopBlackModel #TopMaleModelsofColor #BlackHollywood #TheGoodLie #ReeseWitherspoon #FemiOguns #IHeartHuckabees #LostBoysofSudan #ChildSoldier #UNHCR #UNHCRGoodwillAmbassadorGerDuany #ThankYouGer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-erVVlasd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x35smskjivnp
