WHERE CULTURE MET CREATIVITY

At North Carolina A&T, Diamond Daze tapped into the energy, pride, and creative spirit of Aggie culture. The experience brought students together through fashion, content, conversation, and community—creating a space where emerging creatives could connect, express themselves, and turn campus culture into something bigger.

WHERE CULTURE MET CREATIVITY

PHOTOGRAPHER / ATHLETE / ROCHESTER, NY

Being an athlete and a creator at NCAT is a lot of work—but it’s fun. I run my own business, @Archiveoflaur on IG, and during the 2024 tour I got to work with the headlining photographer. It was super fun and inspirational.
