A City That Raised Me Twice

Downtown Newark | Newark, New Jersey

Some places raise you. Others introduce you to the person you’re becoming.

For seven years, Newark was a place where I thrived.

A city of ambition, contradictions, history, and possibility. A city where towering buildings share streets with generations of businesses, families, and communities whose stories deserve to be remembered.

Newark has endured economic decline, racial inequality, political upheaval, and reinvention. Yet its identity has never belonged solely to its skyline.

Its identity lives in its people.

Photographed from below, these downtown towers rise toward a restless sky, reflecting the ambition and complexity of the city beneath them.

I came to Newark with one understanding of myself.

I left carrying another.

Some cities are simply places we’ve lived.

Others become part of who we are.
