Coloured race!! part of #TheDarkMatterProject series.

I’ve been to war With voices within Men without Even gods beyond War used to creep in Uninvited through my window Pierce sharply into my skin And find my soul unguarded But I haven’t fought lately Though my window remains open My skin has found its voice Soft enough to sing my soul to calm Yet loud enough to shield it from the storm

Words by @beingupile Experiencing love!! I am in love and I have never been more myself. Maybe they’ll say I went soft. But where’s the fault in that? People are meant to soften for each other, to show a tenderness because finding love is finding something right in the world. What do I need to be tough for? #TheDarkMatterProject #igkenya

Words by @beingupile Opening up to love No one talks about the concrete that made room for the flower, so there you have it something as tough as concrete can soften enough to let a beautiful thing grow through it. #TheDarkMatterProject #igkenya #poetry

Words by @sannaarman Be a man they said Be a real man Feel less Flex more Be indifferent to that which is beautiful Touch only that which makes you a man Makes you manly Don't let them see Not your scars Nor the flowers that bloom within I heard them I was them Before I regurgitated their man And became my own man. #TheDarkMatterProject #igkenya

Words by @sannaarman I've been to war With voices within Men without Even gods beyond War used to creep in Uninvited through my window Pierce sharply into my skin And find my soul unguarded But I haven't fought lately Though my window remains open My skin has found its voice Soft enough to sing my soul to calm Yet loud enough to shield it from the storm #TheDarkMatterProject #igkenya #poetry #Africa

For my next series of #TheDarkMatterProject portraits I collaborated with my favorite wordsmiths @sannaarman @beingupile to interprete the beauty of being a man ✊🏾✊🏾 stay tuned. 🤗 #igkenya
