I want my name to be whispered in rooms I haven’t entered yet.
I’ve been sitting with the weight of reinvention for a while now.
Not just visually…but structurally, creatively, spiritually.
For years, my work has spoken through photos, videos, curation, and behind-the-scenes magic.
But something in me has shifted.
I no longer want to just share just to share. I want to build a world — one where my thoughts, process, and presence are experienced on a deeper level, on my terms.
So I’m overhauling imaniblack.com.
Not just a portfolio.
Not just a landing page.
But a hub — for art, reflection, and exclusivity.
This illustration was made of me earlier this year, based on everything I’ve shared about who I am and what I do. It’s wild how accurate it feels. The camera, the brush, the tapes, the city, the spark — it’s all there. It captures the layered version of me: the artist, the documentarian, the storyteller, the woman in motion.
I’m sharing it here because this new chapter isn’t about reinventing myself into someone else — it’s about returning to the essence of who I already am. And building a world around her.
This isn’t about following trends — it’s about taking ownership.
I’m moving from creating just to share, to creating with purpose.
From giving everything away, to offering intentional access.
From content for the masses, to value for those who truly see it.
I want my name to be whispered in rooms I haven’t entered yet.
Not because I post often, but because what I drop lives longer than the scroll.
So yes — the blog era is back.
Every post. Every caption. Every drop will lead you right here: imaniblack.com
Thank you to everyone who’s been rocking with me.
We’re just getting started.
