We are saddened to hear of the passing of photographer Kwame Brathwaite (@kwamebphoto). His life, work, and legacy left an indelible mark on Black culture + consciousness. Our thoughts are with Brathwaite’s family, loved ones + comrades.
My daddy called me twice. I missed the first. The last one I picked up. He wanted to talk about Tyre. “For this man to holler out mama,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine. I would cry.” He called me because he just wanted to hear the voice of his son. He wanted to hear my voice.
