NAME: KEMI KARIM AGE: 23 FROM: BROOKLYN, NY
A RECENT GRADUATE OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY, KEMI’S WORKS EXPLORE LIFE, CULTURE, EXPERIENCES, AND THE BLACK BODY. SHE WAS GIFTED HER FIRST CAMERA IN 2018, AND FOUNDED TRUTHIS STUDIOS JUST A YEAR LATER.
HER STUDIO’S MISSION IS TO SERVE AS “THE VOICE OF THE VOICELESS”, INFLUENCING SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH ART AND WRITING. COMMUNICATING THROUGH ART SOON BECAME KEMI’S WAY OF HEALING, TEACHING, AND EXPRESSING WHAT WORDS COULDN’T.
OUTSIDE OF KEEPING HER FINGERS ON THE PULSE OF THE CULTURE, KEMI ENJOYS MUSEUM HOPPING, READING, AND EXERCISING.
“FOR MANY, A WOMAN WITH WAVES IS TOO BOLD OR TOO MASCULINE. MY DECISION TO KEEP MY HAIR LOW AND SPINNING WAS MADE CONFIDENTLY.
WITH OR WITHOUT HAIR, I CARRY MYSELF WITH GRACE, STRENGTH, AND BEAUTY BECAUSE BEING A WAVIE IS A FEARLESS ROLE. A ROLE THAT EVERYONE ISN’T WILLING TO FULFILL.”
