In the Mother land, the word Farafina means “ the land of the Man with dark skin “. In my travels I come to realize that this land is everywhere.

This picture is particularly special to me. This was the first shoot I did after the birth of my little boy. This picture is real because my smile is so genuine. The smile of a proud new father

After ten years of work it still blows my mind that this little boy from the Abidjan would ever has his face on billboards. it’s even crazier to me because back in Montreal I worked in an H&M for almost two years. Now that I live in LA I see this add every time I leave my house. it only motivates me to push and work harder. I do it for all of us 👦🏿✊🏿🌍

It’s been 10 years since this little boy from Abidjan realized that he was born to become king. 10 years since I officially started modeling in my hometown of Montreal. I went from working at a daycare, to working at camp, to working at a fast food spot. From there I worked at a phone company to end up working at H&M while studying to work in child special care. All these years have past and I am now a father and I am starting a whole new chapter. I have learned so much about myself and about the world and it’s just the beginning because this isn’t t even my final form 😂.In 10 years I learned that everything happens for a reason . What have you learned?

I still can’t believe this happened to you. We lost a true royal and a great member of our tribe. When I started modeling there was always this brotherhood within the black models. We all looked out for each other cause we knew the more of us where working, the more work we would all get. I can’t believe this happened to one of us by one of us. @harryuzoka was ruling on Europe he was an African like me that was putting a positive image in his community he will always be an inspiration for us. Loosing you only reminds me that we need to teach our sons and our black brothers that violence is not the answer. That a mens strength is not judged by his fists. Always be your brothers keeper This picture is how I will always remember king Harry, a king in all his glory.

This is Allan and his nephew. He has the choice to live in the city and building a huge mansion but in his words “ I wanted to be around nature”. he has land where the beach and the river meet. There is building a secret paradise where he can fish for his own meal and grow all the produce he needs. This is a true example of living off the earth. This is a dream to me. I stopped eating meat and I choose to live a healthier life style until I can on day live off a land that I will pass on the my family. Allan is a true representation of a king and his wealth is incomparable. From his knowledge of the sea and his ability to feed himself from the land. This is one of the greatest kings I have had the honor to meet. 🇯🇲

I am proud to work in the only industry where women make more money than men. Therefore I have to work twice as hard to be able to provide equally for my son. Even now staring this journey in music is still make all the effort to see him whenever I can because he is my light and inspiration. Other men would be intimidated but it only showed me a greater respect for women and working mothers around the world and for men fighting to be present in a child’s life. Being single and a new father I cherish every moment that I am allowed to spend with my son. He will grow to know my love, hard work and the legacy that his father is building for him. He will know that no obstacles has ever or can ever keep me away from him. He will know that a king is not judge by his material wealth but by the greatness of his heart. I am grateful to start this new year by your side my Sun.
