Who I Am


No filter huh?

We can sugar coat it all we want

Light skinned

Dark skined

Brownskinned

Mixed with this

Mixed With that

But when Its all said and done

I am black

whats behind the camera

without editorials

Is me

Im not ashamed

Of my race

because of the struggles

that allowed me to get to this place

once white only

Is now all is welcome

So who I am with no filter

Is fighters saying youre welcome
