I am a cultural geographer, writer, and visual artist. My essays and visual works can be found in The Funambulist, Disegno Journal, and you are here: the journal of creative geography.

As a former fellow with the ANO Institute of Arts and Knowledge, I co-designed an educational space in Aburi, Ghana centered around sustaining culturally significant indigenous seeds and plants of the region. Integrating archival research, library visits, and oral histories collected with land stewards, seedkeepers, and botanists, this project is detailed in a commissioned essay I wrote for Disegno Journal’s 2024 themed issue on design and memory.

Earlier this year, based on research I conducted on the history of Black bricklaying and stonemasonry traditions in the Chapel Hill, North Carolina area, I created and exhibited a 12 square foot map composed of layered archival photographs overlaid with a hand drawn maze at the invitation of the Chapel Hill Historical Society. In June 2025, I was selected for a month-long curatorial and research residency program with Raw Material Company — a center for contemporary art, culture, and society in Dakar, Senegal — and in 2024, I was selected as one of 25 under 25 Young Climate Prize Awardees by The World Around for my photography and Eʋe language project Mapping Keta.

I am currently a graduate student in geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my research has been supported by the US National Science Foundation.
