I like to think of myself as a culturalist. I am here all day every day for the diverse representation of black culture in Australia and being part of the African diaspora conversation. Between 2009 and 2019 I ran Afroklectic, a space which captured the creative stories of African-Australians. Although I am not active, space is an archive from that period of time.

I continue to be part of that conversation with my involvement with the Fufu & Tibs podcast.
