Hey, my name is Zion.

my work is inspired by:

Things people say; triple entendres

Lines from my favorite movies; Kobe’s pump fake;

The guys I grew up with;

Strong ledes from featured stories; Westside Gunn lyrics.

FADER magazine profiles from last decade.

Zeugma; fearless Black folks; talking to my friends and family;

Television ads from 20 years ago and childhood memories.

Jay-Z is one of my favorite authors. James Baldwin is another. The best superhero films are The Dark Knight Trilogy.

I’ve always been quiet. I speak when there’s something to say. I believe imagination is a superpower.
