AFRICA IS MY DESCENT

My art practice is rooted in celebrating the beauty and complexity of everyday life, with a particular focus on the nuances and lived experiences of the African Diaspora. Drawing inspiration from my local community in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, to the vibrant streets of Dakar, I employ an interdisciplinary approach—combining mixed media collage, portraiture, and street photography—to create work that bridges personal narrative with collective memory.

Over the course of my career as a creative director and designer, I’ve developed a passion for photography that is reflected in my intimate portraiture style. Through my lens, I seek to highlight the humanity and authenticity of my subjects, capturing moments that connect us across cultures and geographies. My ongoing journey is driven by a commitment to fostering genuine connection and inviting viewers to see the world with empathy and curiosity.
