“My photography focuses on cultural preservation, archiving, and documentation. My clients are primarily members of the Black/African/Caribbean diasporic communities—individuals I encounter in daily life.”
“When I think of my American experience so far, I think of my relationship with food. I find that the food here is not actually what I would call food. I don’t really like eating American food because it’s not what I was fed growing up. Before coming here, I used to think I would like the food, only to get here and the food does not sit well with me. I like the way food is presented here: the plating, the gradient of colors and proportions, and how enticing they look. I like to see them, I like to know their exotic names, and how they’re made. But I just can’t stomach them. So I’m still making the food I’m familiar with: jollof rice, swallow, porridge, etc. Basically, I’m always cooking, and that takes so much of my time.”
