Summary: Everything I do is for the people and by the people. My work centers on capturing authentic emotions as people engage fully with the moment. I am a community political organizer rooted in Pan-Afrikan and decolonial practices, as well as a photographer and archivist committed to documenting Boston’s stories, celebrating community events, and uplifting local voices. Through photography, journalism, and organizing, I strive to preserve culture, nurture connection, and contribute to the ongoing struggle for collective liberation, an effort sustained by imagination and collaboration.
