Current Manifesto
Write up
I’m a believer I’m a creator, I’m a designer I’m a dreamer,
Core messages I’m an artist, I’m a believer and inspirational
I’m a leader, I’m a learner And so are you.
Maybe I could rearrange the words in order of importance I could place the text inside the images
Ideas
New Manifesto I’m a dreamer, creator, leader, designer, learner, and so are you!
Have different images of myself showing the same theme I could and present the manifesto more abstract or literal with direct pictures of myself
PHOTO ESSAY BEYONCE FORMATION The first set of images I decided to use to represent my manifesto was visuals from Beyonce’s Lemonade album/performance.
I picked these photos because I think Beyonce shows off a confidence that translates to others which is what I wanted to do with my manifesto. Her album was all about unapologetically embracing yourself which is also what my manifesto is about.

The second photo essay I picked was a group of photos done by ig artist.Pierre JeanLouis who illustrates beautiful scenes from the world’s nature through hair
I love the texture of these images and the comforting feeling they provide
Artist: Pierre Jean- Louis
PHOTO ESSAY This was my favorite photo essay. I like how the artist turned something so concrete into something so abstract. “I tried to capture the beauty of both the human body’s figure and its motion. The figure in the image, which is formed into something similar to a sculpture, is created by combining 10,000 individual photographs of a dancer. By putting together uninterrupted individual moments, the resulting image as a whole will appear to be something different from what actually exists”.
Japanese photographer Shinichi Maruyama
VIDEO I really like this video because its was really inspiring and empowering. Inky Johnson shared the story of his football injury that ended his career to a group of people. •

Video A more abstract video that represents my manifesto is Solange’s Cranes in the sky. When Solange shares her struggles with the world but she eventually overcomes them. The video is also accompanied by strong visuals •
