I’m taking on a challenge. I’m learning 21 people’s names in 21 days. Actually, I'm learning more than their just their names. These are not random people off the street, these are people in my world but I've never met them. I had a desire to know these people even before I photographed them and learned their names. After I photographed each person, I interviewed them about leadership, their view on people and their one word to the world. I chose to focus on leadership because these 21 people have led me in one way or another. Now, I know their names.

6 AMEN

     Some testimonies just strike a chord in your soul. As Zach bore his testimony two things happened: 1 - I felt the spirit testify to me that what Zach was saying was TRUE. And 2 - I found my next model for my project. After the meeting ended I approached him and told him both, he laughed. I would too if someone asked me, "have you ever modeled before?" Zach continued the light heartedness and laughter throughout the photoshoot and oh! how it helped me!

     Zach says, "I like people, I like people because they all come from different backgrounds and I can learn different perspectives. There's always something to learn. My mission really taught me that. I mean, even drunk people on the street, everyone has something to offer."
     "A leader is someone that leads by example, that doesn't talk or look down upon those that follow. A leader motivates through example, too. I try to have fun and not take life and myself too seriously. I take responsibility for my actions and do the right thing no matter what."
 

Zach's word to the world

Endure
