About me
Passionate in documentary filmmaking and storytelling, I'm an experienced creative who has worked as a Researcher on feature documentaries, fact-ent TV, and short films. Alongside this, I enjoy learning and exploring Contemporary Art through galleries and exhibitions. Having curated a Caribbean Oral history exhibition at the Museum of London, this has sparked my interest in Curation and Archives, which I'm currently exploring as an additional career. Having said that, I'm always looking to collaborate on new projects, so please do contact me if you're interested in working together!

Family members using terms like ‘coarse’, ‘high-maintenance’, ‘unprofessional’ or ‘difficult’ to define textured hair clearly has an impact on young girls who unfortunately grow up having internalised these negative messages, becoming women with low self-esteem.
