A little bit more about our guest: W.d floyd is a Chicago based multidisciplinary practitioner. With 15 years of experience as an educator and developmental practitioner, his body of work focuses on the exploration and utilization of cultural assets as a means to promote self-actualization through self-determination. w.d believes that real change comes from empowering others with the agency to shape their existence. w.d believes in the obtainment of a critical consciousness and creative and technical skill sets as mechanism for transforming lives and communities. An example of this intersection of thought and practice is w.d's use of photography to document Black culture on the west and south sides of Chicago. He believes in the collaborative practice of street portraitures and its ability to grant him the opportunities to celebrate an existence that has contributed greatly to his development. His work is grounded in the desire to illuminate the dignity of those who have traditionally been framed through a lens of degradation. The thinking which derives from his lived experience greatly informs his concept of beauty and originality .
