Mayara Magri’s Intellect, Resolve, and Versatility Have Powered Her High-Flying Career

Kyra Laubacher

A series of four images of Ephraim Sykes, an athletic Black man in his 30s. He poses against an off-white wall, variously leaning against it in counterbalance or creating dramatic shadows. He wears denim overalls over a bare chest, letting one strap fall off his shoulder, and bright sneaks.

Sylviane Gold

Hope Boykin, a petite, curvy Black woman with a shaved head, gives the camera a mischievous, close-mouthed smile. Her palms are pressed together with her fingertips resting against her lips; her elbows are propped on her knees as she leans forward where she sits, arches popping against the floor. She wars white trousers and a denim button-down with the sleeves rolled to her elbows.

Courtney Celeste Spears

Stefanie Batten Bland poses against a grey-white backdrop in a silver strapless dress. Her light brown curls halo around her face and down to her shoulders. She leans forward, arms delicately extended side, her chin tipped up and expression open as though she's catching sight of someone just out of frame. The image evokes an old school Hollywood starlet.

Tai Jimenez, Robert Garland, and Virginia Johnson pose together seated on a green velvet couch. Jimenez, perched on the back, leans back against Garland as she stretches an arm overhead, posing as though she's singing karaoke. Garland wears a wry smile as he kicks a sneakered foot out towards the camera. Seated below them, Johnson smiles warmly, exuding elegance and calm.

Tai Jimenez grins at the camera as she sits, legs folded under her, on a green velvet couch. She rests her chin in her hand, elbow propped on top of her knee. Her grey and black hair is shaved to a fade on the sides, the tight curls short on top. She wears a grey striped dress, white sneakers with black laces, and bright green socks.
