In addition to the photography, I had the opportunity to direct this short piece for the @nike #betrue campaign. Once again, thanks to all the athletes involved; @castersemenya800m @thechrismosier @sbird10 @brittneyyevettegriner @jaeecan @kerronclement @elissa_steamer @scoutbassett @markmckenzie4 @jewellloyd @daaarkness @erickoston and ALL the good people on production and creative (@rosie.lees). It truly took a village! Special shout out to @bhoste for DP’ing. Let’s go! Sound all the way up.

I actually had a conversation with my mom before making this post, because I was conflicted about what to write. As I’ve become more wise, I’ve learned it can be detrimental to your mental health to place validation in the hands of brands, magazines, platforms, or other people in general. True validation has to come from the inside because no matter how many milestones you reach, there will always be a new one. At the same time, the occasional external validation feels good. Seeing my photos of @castersemenya800m hugely plastered on the main building on Nike’s campus in Portland is extreme validation, but also a sign that I have more to give and I’m not done yet! More is coming from this project. #untilweallwin

BIG thanks to all these beautiful people for allowing me to photograph them for @nike’s BeTrue campaign. And big thanks to all the people that worked to make it all run smoothly. More to come that I’m excited to show soon!⁣
