Growing up, Kansas City native Ivan McClellan knew he wanted to leave Kansas. He didn t know where he was going, but he knew he would go.
After high school, he headed for Manhattan - New York. McClellan went to a drama conservatory and acted for six years before trying his hand at design.
But it was photography and telling people s stories that piqued his interest. When I turned 17, I was determined to escape Kansas, McClellan said.
Six years ago, McClellan went to his first rodeo run by Black cowboys, and he was hooked. In mainstream media, there s not a lot of opportunity for Black people, he said. People of color are mostly presented as victims, criminals, rappers or athletes.
