The Gifted project features a collection of interviews and photographs of influential Black men in their most natural environments. The men that participated in this project range from 25 to 85 years of age and are in the sectors of the Arts, Business, Politics and Finance. The current selection of participants have garnered recognition and accolades for their work in their respective fields. The purpose of this collection is to ignite pride amongst Black men by portraying a more truthful and honest depiction that honors the creative genius and profound contributions that these men have made to their communities, and society as a whole. Milner’s visual documentation and celebration of these men displays their strength and beauty to create and inspire tremendous works despite a period in history of emasculation and social denigration. The Gifted project is dedicated to Milner’s father, who continues to be the driving influence for her collection.
