When I think about this day I think about the alignment I felt. The day we captured these images Tony simply asked, “What is your story? Why are we here?”
The question is one I often ponder because of the nature of my goals but it was almost a shock to have him ask. I said something like, “love in the age of Corona.” A millennial love story if you will.
Woman posts viral TikTok, man stumbles upon said post and begins to see the beauty also has a voice. They connect deeply and the rest is, as they say, history. We’ve been building a life together since the initial DM slide, traveling and setting up our home bases in Jamaica, Los Angeles, and New York.
The truly exciting bit is Matai is actually making history on the cutting edge of blockchain tech and I have made it my life’s work to make mindfulness a staple in child rearing and leadership in Jamaica. As we grow in these roles we are also modeling and acting. We are now signed to multiple agencies in the US and we only hope to grow in our ability to spread the message of mindfulness, sustainability, and decentralized banking. The Journey we are on is one for the ages and this was the most epic way we thought to kick it off upon our return to the States.
We wanted to do our first shoot in LA with someone we felt could capture us genuinely and push us out of our comfort zones.
That is exactly what Tony Did, and then some as he encouraged us to bring more dynamic characters to life.
