The Fam(ily)
The kinship group of peers I make photographs with on the White City Estate and myself maintain substantive values around the word family. We are the children of Caribbean women who moved to the U.K during the 1980’s.

Black bodies in transit
I come from a part of Cross River State, Nigeria, where we are called ‘Atam’ meaning slaves, the Efiks (a majority ethnic group) use to kidnap our people and sell to the white man. We were a minority tribe.
