“My main goal, coming back, really, I’ve travelled the world, and the camera has opened more doors for me than I could have ever possibly imagined so I travelled the world all through the power of photography. Why Belize? Because I’m Belizean and if I could do anything for my home country and where my people came from it’s to inspire another youth, another generation of photographers to do the same thing that I do. My main goal is to show people that there is another way out of your situation through the power of telling your own stories.”
