“Profiling as seen in Erizku’s portraits is also the ancestor of vogueing. It’s a black sartorial snap: Walking into a room and owning it, knowing you look fierce. Taking for granted that the world is your runway and onlookers had better move aside and take their tired, stereotypical bullshit with them.”

Dr. Steven Nelson’s profile on emerging photographer and “Vision & Justice” cover artist Awol Erizku is now available online and in print.

“When we sit quietly and bring our attention to our present moment experience, the receiver of the brain may open to a greater awareness, a consciousness that is above us and around us and also in us. To receive it, even for a moment, is to be forgiven.”

Once you reach a certain age, you’re either slowly dying or slowly being reborn. I want to choose the latter.“
