About me
BA Fashion Journalism student at Central Saint Martins and FACE (Fashion Academics Creating Equality) Associate.
I’m interested in stories that champion marginalised voices and subversion, with my current practice dissecting themes of identity and culture, particularly within the Afro-Caribbean and wider Black diaspora.
I offer a critical perspective on heteronormative, patriarchal and colonial structures within fashion, art and society at large.
My attention to detail, extensive cultural knowledge and passion for high-quality research has influenced me to pursue a career in journalism and curation — where I hope to continue celebrating global creativity through centring community.

AssociateFACE: Fashion Academics Creating Equality
United Kingdom
FACE is a not-for profit organisation dedicated to catalysing transformation within Higher Education Arts and Design fields, and the creative industries. Our mission is to champion equity, inclusivity and unity, with a specific focus on addressing issues related to race, colour, and ethnicity. Our work is driven by the belief that the intersection of the creative industries and academia is a powerful force for positive change.
We believe in interrogating the euro-centric gaze and exploring the etymology of fashion, identity, colonisation and neo-colonisation to disrupt norms and foster progressive dialogue, thus facilitating a landscape where diversity is normalised and celebrated. We commit to amplifying marginalised voices through collaborative efforts and unwavering advocacy. We will inspire, educate, and empower individuals within academic and industry spheres to dismantle systemic barriers, fostering a more equitable and harmonious future for all.
