The Inspiration for My Own Image
So, here's what led to "My Own Image"...
I've been exposed to narrow perspectives a lot in my lifetime and sometimes I didn't bother
to counter them. Those days are over. No more simplistic judgments given waiver. No more
passivity and endurance of generalizations and getting lumped in a category.
It's about having a balance. It's about acknowledging being multidimensional.
It's about freedom and self-determination.
Heard Tavis Smiley commenting on protests against BET programming, quoting (paraphrased):
"When the SUM of what you see is negative and cast as normative, mainstream opinions, we have a
right and a duty to speak out against that degradation".
I decided to represent "My Own Image".
Another way of looking at yourself is to take stock of where you came from and where you're
going. Being the 'master of my destiny' is the best of all possible worlds. I don't think I'm alone in this.
Go for your own image.
