Curlfest returned to Prospect Park this weekend and brought out all the ladies. The event celebrating natural hair and beauty, organized by Curly Girl Collective, keeps growing yearly.
Lines were long, with sponsors in attendance giving out products or discounts. I stuck to the less crowded areas as the clouds formed to create the perfect lighting for photos.
Everyone in Brooklyn has a hustle. I guess you can say mine is photography, as well as modeling and acting.
Hustling in Brooklyn is the subject of Uber Presents: Da Republic of Brooklyn, a new series of films by Spike Lee. The series follows 5 Uber drivers navigating their way through the borough.
I’ve teamed up with Uber to create a campaign showcasing the Brooklyn I know. New York’s most populous borough is a place filled with diversity. Because of New York’s history as an immigration hub, most people in the country have some type of connection to Brooklyn. A fast-paced hotspot where something is always happening, Brooklyn fuels hustle.
And how does Uber facilitate my hustle through Brooklyn? When I have acting gigs, sometimes our call times are at crazy, odd hours. So if it’s within reasonable distance, I’ll just call an Uber to get me there quickly. You ever try to catch the subway at 4:30am? It will leave you with nothing but stress and heartache. Or if I’m working on a street shoot on a hot day where I need to be looking my best, I wouldn’t want to sweat through my clothes on the way. But Uber will get you there and have you looking right.
Here is our journey through Brooklyn.
