​​​​My path has been anything but linear. I have worked in higher education, development, community organizing and culture. My work has been guided by research, lived experiences, community conversations, and a deep desire to understand how power, identity, and representation shape lived realities. Whether in academic spaces, field settings, or digital platforms, I bring my full self: analytical, grounded, questioning, and connected to home.​

​​​​​I may move between worlds, but I am anchored in Africa. I want my life’s work to speak to uplifting African people, preserving African stories, and centering African culture.

​

I currently teach in international relations, work in international development, and host community events centering on showcasing Africa away from Western perspective.  I hope my work honors people’s stories, challenges inherited narratives, and makes room for nuance.
