I’m a zine-maker and facilitator based in London. I’m also the founder of sweet-thang zine, a community and indie press publishing work by Black creatives worldwide. I’ve worked with a range of publishers, arts organisations and charities such as the Southbank Centre, Black Girl Festival, National Gallery, Touretteshero and King’s College University. My work centres on art and wellbeing, manifesto building and collective making.
My work with Sounds Like Chaos sits across an intimate and in-depth timeline. I joined the collective as a young person in 2014 and over time have become part of their Associate Artist roster, where I have a more hands-on role with the direction of the company, whether as a zine-maker or facilitator for their projects. (Include examples such as the CLIMATE HOME zine and the DIRT Zine)
