In the past, I worked with Jericho on a project combining my photography and his poetry. “There's already pressure in the United States around being black and queer. I think the hardest thing for me is when that pressure comes from inside our communities, when I'm pressured in a certain way about how to be black ... when people want me to be the ‘right kind’ of black,” Jericho said. “They want me to be that good, respectable black, that dignified black that I think people have almost made a stereotype out of, and it has become hugely problematic. I got a lot of that from my family when I was growing up, and I'm getting rid of a lot of it—to this day.” Much of my personal work focuses on vulnerability, reflection, and ways of challenging bias and limited belief systems. To navigate and persevere through the constant occurrences of racial bias is a daily exercise for me and for every black person I know. I recognize that black men carry a particular burden. The ongoing battle to merely do well and be respected is often drowned out by the many injustices they suffer. // @ProcterGamble understands that images in TV, film, and advertising can shape how people see each other, leading to bias and consequences that impact us all, especially people of color. Dialogue and understanding can unlock powerful revelations. #TalkAboutBias」6月14日 0時12分
