Who Can We Run To // #‎3DNATEE‬ #Blacklivesmatter

Over a quarter million views and counting… Thank you for understanding this piece… I caught a lot of flack for being naked in the video (which was done to symbolize our current state of vulnerability, loneliness, the way blacks were belittled, beaten, and bartered) but some people couldn’t look pass it. Some people couldn’t look pass the fact that the video was vulgar and graphic… Well… I cant apologize for any of that… I cant apologize for the truth… I can only thank those who understand, for understanding…
