A re-cap of a few gems I shared during this years

A re-cap of a few gems I shared during this years @wherearetheblackdesigners conference which took place last month.

It was so much fun and an incredible opportunity to speak honestly alongside other creatives including @raja.jaja @ithink_idesign @kevinbethune and @zariah.cameron

A huge thank you to @ok_mitz for the opportunity and safe space to fully be our badass selves as Black creatives 💜

The full conference can be viewed via the link in my bio.

somewhere between: I designed a series of social and blank cards as part of the 'Children of the Gap' series.

Taking cues from 'Too Black for Brooklyn Too African for Accra', the idea was to identify memories/experiences/norms experienced by those who are of dual heritage (something I later learned is known as third cultutre).

A snapshot of the ‘Children of the Gap: conversations on cultural duality’ exhibition opening that took place in 2014 at The Center for Better Health, London

I produced an event series under thenublk, in collaboration with Ghanaian-American visual artist @citizins.

Inspired by his visual essay ‘Not Black enough for Brooklyn and Not African enough for Accra’ the month-long series of events included an exhibition, Twitter chats and film screenings including ‘Pressure’ the seminal film by British-Trinidadian director Horace Ové

The exhibition featured the work of artists from the UK, US and Suriname.

I’ll be speaking about navigating career paths as a Black designer as part of @wherearetheblackdesigners conference this weekend!

Last year’s conference was nothing short of inspirational, @ok_mitz and her team did a stellar job and the community following the conference has grown into such an affirming space!

Race in Space: My latest for CNN’ Space & Scienc

Race in Space: My latest for CNN’ Space & Science highlights the incredible contributions made by astronauts of colour who were a precursor to NASA’s Artemis team.

Some fun facts I learned during the making of this project:

In 1983, Arnold Tamayo Méndez became the first astronaut of Afro-Cuban descent to fly to space 👩🏾‍🚀🇨🇺

Nichelle Nichols who played Uhura on Star Strek, became an ambassador for NASA and helped recruit the current NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Sally Ride, the first woman in space! 🖖🏿👩🏽‍🚀🪐🚀
