At a recent gathering, a friend introduced his new boyfriend to the circle. It was the first public unveiling and there was a bit of mystery to the whole occasion; they were comfortable enough to do introductions, but it wasn’t so soon as to wonder why bother.

I was recently asked to model in a photography project for a friend at a cosmetics company as part of a portfolio-building venture for everyone involved. The makeup artists tested their painting skills, caking us in hues of gold, white, and black. I was the lone black model in a Rococo-inspired piece, depicted as the [...]

Maybe it’s an evolved sense of fashion or confidence in speech. Maybe it’s one’s consistency of calm or aptitude [...]
Every few months, communication gets a little hazy. There’s something in the air. Deals go wrong, contracts renege, messages are mixed. There’s a name for this phenomenon; it’s Mercury retrograde. Mercury retrograde is in effect until March 17, and since this planet rules communication and reveals the past to help strengthen the future—If you believe [...]

Today is National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, and I must say that for me, this day is about more than awareness…it is a day of knowledge…it is a day of remembrance. As a man of color in the LGBT community, I must say that HIV/AIDS, unfortunately, is constantly marketed to us. We see advertisements for [...]
