“I’m trying to change the ‘African narrative’ that international photographers always portray of us across the globe. My work tries to show the strength, and grace of black culture through the styling or setting/location, and makeup. My photography predominantly features African women from all over the continent. I have a natural, high-contrast aesthetic.”
