HOLD ME, SEVENTIES VICE
'Hold Me, Seventies Vice', a narrative magazine by Jordan Lyles. While not everyone is meant to be in a position of leadership, we can collectively sort out our next revolutionary voice.

WE'RE HERE: ARCHIVES
"We're Here: Archives" a narrative book with photos from the We're Here photoshoot, a song placed on the NBA 2K22 soundtrack. I realized a piece of me feels complete when capturing moments of life; keeping them alive through visual or audible remains. To me, looking at an old photo is equivalent to listening to an old vinyl record. To hear the voice of a man or woman who lived in a time frame where I didn't exist is the closest we can get to immortality.
