Abraham’s latest project, An Untitled Love, is a work of art that blends several elements together to culminate in a brilliantly choreographed performance. The components of his love for his family, the artistry of musician D’Angelo and more amalgamate to bring these many influences to life. For Abraham, one of the major highlights is honoring his parents and other elders who have played a part in his upbringing.

“There’s a lot of love on the stage,” Abraham said. “I wanted to pay homage to not only my parents, who are no longer with us, but also those aunts and uncles that we all have that aren’t really blood relatives but are aunts and uncles. There was so much joy growing up and such a sense of carefree pride that I felt like I was experiencing with these elders.”
