don’t worry, we happy.
This powerful photo series challenges the illusion of constant joy within the Black community. A play on the phrase Don't Worry, Be Happy, the series captures Black people smiling in moments of warmth and togetherness—yet beneath the surface, many struggle with their mental health. Created for a campaign promoting mental wellness, free therapy, and open conversations, this project encourages honesty about our happiness and reminds us that seeking help is not a weakness but a step toward true well-being.
essence.
This series explores femininity, pleasure, and the power of indulgence. The grapefruit, messy and sweet, symbolizes the raw beauty of presence—of taking up space unapologetically. It’s about contrast: softness and strength, control and abandon, the organic and the artificial. In a world that asks women to be composed, this is a celebration of letting go, of finding power in simplicity.
