When someone feels like they can have power over you? They feel like they can dominate you, they’re better than you and they use that the wrong way. For me, the “power” that I want to use is being able to connect you with a friend that I think y’all would make a great team and make something happen. I feel good for doing that, I feel good for making that introduction. That’s powerful to me. To know, who I think you would vibe with to build something. That’s power to me.” 1:58:00 - Using the iPhone during Ferguson - 2:00:00 - #WeMatter 2:06:00 - Favorite contemporary photographers: - Carrie Mae Weems - LaToya Ruby Frazier - Lorna Simpson - Deana Lawson 2:07:45 - National Portrait Gallery 2:08:00 - Amy Sherald
