So you may not know him now but you will know him very soon! Basile Shingu a native of Charlotte, North Carolina. While having deep roots within the Democratic Republic of Congo he keeps close to his culture. The 19 year old photographer is a member of the Immaculate Taste record label where he not only take pictures for the label but does graphic design for them also. When I asked him, "Homie what inspires he you?" He replied, "As cliche as it sounds pretty much everything inspires me." Which is one of the most cliche answers an artist can say...BUT I know it to be true due to working with him on many of my own projects. As one of his main clients I let him do all of the creative work I just come with my body and my clothing and let his mind wander. His favorite photographer as of right now is the late and great Bill Cunningham. May he rest in peace and hopefully he knows that he is missed. He plans on venturing into more things than just photography he plans on dipping himself into fashion design and only any form of design....SO maybe in the future if y'all need an interior decorator hit up BShingu. Finally, I asked "What do you want your work to be?" He replies instantly and passionately saying, "I want my work to be timeless. I want my work to evoke emotion whether it be nostalgia, happiness, laughter you know things of that nature." There is no want for his pictures to be all of that because they already are! If you would like to get into contact with BShingu my brother from another mother you can follow him at @Bshingu on Instagram or email him at ShinguBasile@gmail.com. Below I have some of the work that he has done for me in the past! The work that he does from me can range from business shots (3>2.96 but that is another article) and personal ones during events or while we are out on the town.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
