“This photo was taken during a shoot for Khaya, a student run publication on campus. Khaya which translates to home has been just that for me and other Black creatives on Dukes campus. This shoot aimed to showcase an integral part of the Black identity, hair and the community that comes with it. This behind-the-scenes photo captures not only the models, but everyone involved in making Khaya a reality.”

“The photo above was taken in San Francisco this September. It features a ritualistic dance from indigenous performers in San Francisco’s Mission District, historically known as a center for latino/chicano communities. Afterwards, one of the performers gave a short speech in Spanish on the strength of their surrounding community and the need for unity as the effects of the pandemic beyond the virus itself persist.”
