A Black British Girl's Perspective of a Global Village

"Is anyone else's social media feed starting to look like a nursing home?" TheDrazzyShow asked on his Insta-stories. As humorous as it sounded, I couldn't help but agree. I've been off the gram for a minute so I don't even know if this FaceApp thing is a challenge or just a really freaky trend... which... Continue Reading →
Is it's possible to have more than one spirit place?... That place where your soul feels completely as one with your mind and body.

I'm still processing the events of the past 8 days of arriving in Colombia's Caribbean coast... Not long ago I was in San Basilio de Palenque (the first acknowledged settlement of liberated Africans in the Americas) on a filmset of Cameroonian filmmaker Jean-Pierre Bekolo, then just days ago I joined the march surrounded by hundreds...

My stay in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil ended with a collaborative shoot with artist Jan Siebert for a visual idea I had to share some insight into my Salvador trip through film. Jan went along with my ideas and contributed his own creativity... Here's a quick edit of some of my fav shots in the... Continue Reading →
My introduction to La Frida was by coincidence almost a month ago, walking through Santo Antonio when I caught eyes with Diana, La Frida's in-house mechanic, and we both gave that "Hey black girl" recognition nod! I continued walking but something told me to go back and ask for a photo as the framing through... Continue Reading →
