The We Love You Project

WE LOVE YOU is a photo series with a mission to photograph over 1,000 black males of all ages. The aim is to bring a good feeling to us and to show the world who we are. Show them who they're killing. We're hurting and don't know what the solution is. So many people will be quick to meet violence with violence but that only makes matters worse. I feel like media has painted a picture of how they think we are and this is a way to set that straight.

This is as much an art project as it is a form of protest. Not everyone will want to march, but a portrait in solidarity with hundreds of other historically misrepresented people can inspire a change relevant to this time period. With technology at our fingertips, we can all determine what’s news worthy with a simple social media post.

The We Love You project is a simple but powerful reassurance to our black boys and men that even though it feels like we are being murdered and destroyed constantly, we are still a part of a larger community that loves and supports us
