My First Feature in BmoreArt: Rise Baltimore 2025

A stage performance features cellist Lavena Johanson on the left, pianist and composer Judah Adashi at center, and activist Erricka Bridgeford standing at a microphone on the right. They perform in a dimly lit venue with a projected image of a mural of Freddie Gray displayed behind them. Several seated participants are in the background, suggesting a collaborative, multimedia tribute or performance centered on social justice.

I’m thrilled to share that my photography was featured in BmoreArt’s latest article, covering this year’s Rise Bmore concert.

It’s my first time being published in BmoreArt, and I couldn’t be more honored. Huge thanks to the magazine and to writer Gabriella Souza for capturing the spirit of the event so thoughtfully.

I’m especially grateful to Judah Adashi for trusting me year after year to help visually document this deeply meaningful gathering. Rise Bmore continues to be one of the most powerful expressions of love, memory, and protest in Baltimore — and I’m proud to play a small part in it.
