CURRENT MISSION

Learning and creating

ABOUT ME

I have recently started doing freelance journalism work after graduating from university in Montreal, and am interested in African politics, media and news, photography and anything creative with a clear view of how you view the world. I am from New York City and believe that my world view has been strongly shaped by the tremendous richness of life in NY.

PHILOSOPHY

I would ideally describe it as Marxist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, feminist but honestly I'm open and still figuring it out.
