A smiling, joyful Sulaiman (wholeheartedly Disabled AF, British-Pakistani man with buzz cut black hair), sits in his power wheelchair for a portrait by the Brand By Me team. Sulaiman wears his rainbow-coloured mesh jacket over a black shirt with bright pink flamingos. He wears a yellow and black badge that says "Black Disabled Lives Matter" via his dear friend Jennifer White-Johnson. As well as a pure silver chain pendant from his late Nanaji (maternal grandfather). It was made for Sulaiman over 23 years ago, when he was 15, and was rediscovered early this year. The pendant says "Raja Sulaiman" in Urdu, which his Nanaji called him. Sulaiman wears this pendant to remember and honour his late Nanaji, ancestors, and descendants. Sulaiman understands (and respects) that he is the link from his ancestors to his descendants. End.
