Tropical Depression
Standing in front of mirrors and not liking what he saw. Hair so thick it broke a metal pick. A chemical blowout that left him bald. Fourteen years of locs cut off in a moment of depression. Emmanuel traces the battle with self-image from childhood to adulthood — and the day God said, 'Reattach your locs,' turning what had been cut off into a picture of restoration.
