Russell Blackman
🇧🇧🇬🇧
Someday, my memoir will be titled:
“The Audacity of a Bajan Boy”
Christ-follower. Black. Queer.
Creative. Musicophile. Clotheshorse.
📍London, UK

33… I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a birthday in a really long time… And like the song says, “I know I’m blessed”… I’m so so so grateful… 🥹❤️✨🙌🏾
As I reflect on the past defining year, I feel like I have come to that place in my life where, at 33, I’m honouring every intricate part of my life. The good, the bad, the beauty, the flawed... I’ve learned how to bask in the sun, yet dance in the rain. I’ve learned how to maintain a soft heart yet embrace a strong spirit. The androgynous, the creative, the static, the detailed, the flow, the blocks… I embrace it all. I’ve learned how to value community as much as I cherish alone time. More than that, however, I’ve watched how God shows up in every part of it.
My understanding of the word “and” over the past year has been revolutionary because when people or places try to put me in safe, digestible boxes, my favourite response is… “YES, AND…”
So here’s to 33: My Jesus Era (although that’s the year He died for our sins and I don’t wanna die for nobody LOL)… Lord, let your glory shine in every aspect, colour, hue, and shade of my life this year and may every aspect of it, work in tandem to shape me into the image of the One I look at. Buckle up! 🤭🥳🥴😎🤣❤️✨🙌🏾

Chapter 30: Finding Buried Treasure
I spent the last decade working ever so hard to find things that I thought I needed in order to become a version of myself. However, what I’ve learnt is that everything I was looking for, was already in me. So I needed to reduce the amount of searching around and in fact, search within. The past few years have afforded me so many beautiful opportunities (both great and disheartening in nature) for me to look inward and “excavate”. It’s there that I found what I was made of.

Sometimes gig life takes you to different countries and this past weekend was something unique… Everything you heard about Switzerland’s landscape is TRUE! Like out of a storybook… What a sight to behold! 🥹❤️✨

One of my friends said to take this out of my story and post on my feed… So here goes nothing… 😭🙈
Some days I just be having these thoughts about the current state of affairs as a Christian and sometimes, I have to “put pen to paper”.
But again, what do I know? 🤷🏾♂️

Summer ‘25?! Yeah… You did your big one!

Summer has always been my favourite season of the year and this one proved to be no different. This week I’m back into the full swing of things with work, late nights, early mornings, and adding a Master’s onto that… BUT at least I have the summer to look back on and reflect… 🥹❤️🥳‼️🙌🏾
.

Here’s to the “eternal winter” we’re about to face and my eager wait until the next “heat wave”… 🤭

And that’s a wrap!

The season finale of Summer 2025 is one for the books and the way the year started, I don’t know about you but I NEEDED IT! 😭🤣🥹❤️
It was also a season of transitions and I had to do a photoshoot to commemorate the end of an era… Bring on the autumn! Time to hang up the crop tops and bring back the trench-coats… 😭🤭🤓
