To be educated is the first step to liberation, and I couldn’t be prouder to see so many of my people pursuing higher education, from an AA to a Doctorate. Your efforts are seen, and your triumphs are recognized by me, if no one else.

Hall of Grads is meant to showcase my portfolio, but most importantly, to recognize the courage and determination it took to walk across that stage and work for that diploma, leaving this world with far fewer reasons to count you out.

Thank you for trusting me to capture these moments for you all. I cannot wait to see what you do in this lifetime. Every great thing you do has one greater thing behind it waiting for you to find it as well.
