This past week I was blessed with the incredible opportunity to travel with and document the Cannes Can Diversity Collective, also known as CC:DC [ cannesdiversitycollective ] as they toured the beautiful city of Dubai, visited some of the world's top creative marketing agencies, networked with top execs in the industry, and attended the dubailynx festival of creativity. What began as a freelance opportunity quickly transformed into into a trip where I've made new friends/family, priceless connections, and memories that I will never forget!

CC:DC's mission is to provide access, exposure, and opportunities to diverse & underrepresented talent in the creative industry. I could not be more proud to help tell this story and continue to push the mission forward as a fellow creative of color looking to pave his own path and make an impact in the space. Very special thank you to the lovely Cheryl Fox [ cfoxthephotographer ] and founder of CC:DC Adrianne Smith [ adrianneinsta ] for trusting my talents and including me on the creative production team. Also, thank you to the CC:DC scholars, staff, and partners for making me feel welcome and a part of the family. I can't wait to share the finished project with you all! Another likemiinded production in the books 💯🤟🏽
