🫨🫨🫨🫨 Wowwwwwww! I just found out that @ryanmcginleystudios released a book of photos and interviews from his “Yearbook” era and my goofy face is one of many featured on this beautiful cover. 🥹❤️ I have to say, even though this shoot was short and sweet, it was life changing. He casted me after seeing my IG and then invited me to his studio when I was in New York for a weekend. We chatted for a bit about his work, Toronto, and our mutual friend Will Munro (RIP ❤️❤️❤️), and then we began shooting. Ryan and @luisa_opalesky immediately made me feel so comfortable in my body. Believe it or not, I had never been fully nude on camera before this shoot with Ryan, so I was nervous. This headshot he used from the shoot is so silly and captures my energy perfectly. The earrings I’m wearing in the shot were my favourite at the time. I got drunk and lost them at @moodringnyc the following night lolol 🤪🤪 Who knew this one photo would become part of a bigger exhibition that would be in gallery spaces all around the world. And now…..it’s a book!!!!!! So cool!!!! 📚❤️ We took that photo in 2017!!!! So many years later, this photo means the world to me and I’ll never forget the kindness Ryan showed me. We all know he’s the GOAT in the photography world, but he’s also just a really sweet guy who reminded me early on to tap into those things that made me special and express them on camera. This shoot helped slowly awaken a much more happy, sexy, and confident Max. I’ll never forget this day!! Love u Ryan! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

🌈🫂🌈🫂🌈🫂🌈 A younger Max couldn’t imagine being openly queer, let alone being on a fucking billboard, as part of a nationwide Pride campaign. Black queer folks rarely get this spotlight, and we’re rarely seen as beautiful or worthy enough for this type of visibility. Stopping by the mall for the first time with @krys_t_ yesterday I was immediately brought to tears because the billboard reminded me that the world is changing, and collectives like @lotion.mag are helping to lead that change. This billboard is not just a dream for me, it’s a dream for young African boys who come from strict upbringings and aren’t allowed to be queer and expressive. Queer kids of colour who are still carving out their own identities are going to look at this @lotion.mag billboard and know that there is no limit to the worlds they can create for themselves. For me, there’s no greater honour than knowing how we’ll influence those who see us and hear our stories. I pray that young queer kids that come from the life I did will see this billboard at the mall and be like “damn....one day I’m going to be on a billboard, make music, be a director, DJ, etc. etc.” I wasn’t cool growing up and didn’t think I’d be doing half the shit I’m doing today. To all the young queers, just know that if I can do it, you can do it too. 😂❤️ Thank u @lotion.mag @rightmood @forever_next_door @holtrenfrew for this life changing opportunity. S/O to @krys_t_ for coming with me and holding space for me to feel all the feelings yesterday. I love you so much! ❤️ Grandma, I love you and miss you. Thank you for keeping your spirit close as I continue to rediscover joy. 🕊️🙏🏾 This year, Pride is about turning my pain into power and seeing the things I’ve dreamed of for so many years come to fruition. Being queer is the best thing to ever happen to me and now I got a billboard to prove it. Happy Pride. 🫂❤️🌈
