'I’ve been reminded of how important family is to me over the last few months.' Coming of age during lockdown through the eyes of Denise Stephanie, an 18-year-old photographer from Brooklyn.
Denise Stephanie is an 18-year-old photographer from Brooklyn. This spring, she celebrated her graduation from BASIS Independent Brooklyn, a school in Red Hook.
Once a week, we make plans to go somewhere as a family, whether it’s to a new beach or to a park after getting food to-go—there are so many places we don’t take advantage of, living in New York. Sometimes, my cousins or relatives from Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island will join from a distance. The summer is passing by quickly, so when I’m not reading Toni Morrison or watching, we’re out driving while blasting what should have been Carnival’s biggest hits this year.
In another first, before this summer I had never been to a major protest, but my family and I went to one called Prayer and Protest in Bed-Stuy, with a church in my grandfather’s neighborhood. We thought that this one would support the cause in a peaceful way, so that my younger brother could participate and I could carry my camera around without worrying too much. I found it all really moving.
