“As a young black creative, it is crucial for me to establish a platform that showcases the accomplishments and contributions of black women residing in different parts of the world. Recently, I have been working on a project that celebrates the lives of black women in the diaspora, aiming to emphasize their achievements and the positive impact they make on global communities”.
