Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on a range of projects that have allowed me to explore the intersection of art and activism. From documenting the struggles of individuals living with diabetes in rural Cameroon to highlighting the importance of potable water and lack-off it in local communities, my work has consistently focused on issues of social issues. I also thank my friend Eva Boeree, with whom we began this journey with We’re All Liquid & Alakind.
