Photographed by Lamar Collins for the Courier, this gallery captures the vibrant spirit of Afro April at Pasadena City College, where the Ray Briggs Quartet filled the air with live jazz as students and faculty came together in celebration. From heartfelt tributes during the 5% Awards to a virtual keynote by Professor Kaba Kamene, the event honored Black educators and community leaders with joy, gratitude, and purpose.

Three years ago, quite by accident, I found myself in the United States. Before that, I had considered this country something unattainable and very distant.
My journey began with event photography in Russia. I have a passion for visual storytelling. I focus on capturing the naturalness of moments and aim to share compelling narratives with audiences.
