When someone uses the word genuine to describe someone, what are a few things that come to mind? One could say respectable, charismatic, and well loved. This individual has those qualities and creates authentic relationships while spreading good vibes to everyone he meets. Let me introduce you to Demetri Sheffield, aka 90pts. I saw some of his work on instagram which was intriguing. We met through a mutual friend and Boom! We instantly exchanged contact information and met up this past Saturday to hang out. I met up with 90 in Oak Lawn for a shoot he was doing for @mondaysuck. He was with his homies JaVonn and Dozie. They instantly made me feel like I had been their friend from the get go. We got lunch at Serious Pizza in Deep Ellum, which was fantastic! I realized that 90 is very honest and blunt, which takes a lot of people off guard. If he does not like something, he will not hesitate to turn to anyone and tell you how he feels. He surrounds himself with friends who push each other to do better. If you just want to hear compliments about yourself, then you are in for a surprise. His pictures speak volumes without captions, and it all started from his passion for movies and shoes. Just watching him take pictures, I could see his detail to attention. He shows authenticity and uniqueness in every in every picture by showing the world from his eyes. At the end of the day, it honestly did not even feel like an interview, it was just me having fun with 90, JaVonn, and Dozie. I even got to meet Scotty and J Bar with Homme Femme LA*. Demetri showed me nothing but love, even though he had not known me for long. He introduced me to Homme Femme without me asking and is eager to see people around him progress. 90pts said something to me that I will never forget, which was, “When I see people who want to learn, I help them so we both can succeed; one day I want them to be better than me”. I was left both speechless and humbled by his perceptive. Everyone will eventually grow up, but deep down will always have that inner kid somewhere. Spend a day with 90, and I promise you that inner kid will come out.
