AFG Athletics: Track and Field.

Track and Field, the sport in which women have made history when it comes to breaking records, bringing culture to the forefront, and demanding the world’s attention all at the same time. This shoot not only pays tribute to Sha’Carri Richardson, Lydia de Vega-Mercado, and Florence Griffith Joyner, aka Flo-Jo, but also serves as a moment of recognition to Alyssa Meeks, the woman presented in the photos.

Not only is she a phenomenal track and field athlete, but she is also a magnificent artist in her own right. Often painting and creating the stories that pay tribute to who she is and the world as she knows it. This shoot was a pleasure, and I appreciate her bringing her light as we pay homage to those who made it happen, even when the world was against them.

Thank you, Alyssa. Shoutout to Tori AGAIN for the on-set assistance and helping me put this shoot together. Teamwork truly makes the dream work.
