“Resilient Joy” is a multifaceted, multi-medium project of how a Black, queer, Kenyan immigrant living in rural Indiana survives a global pandemic, poverty, and the mental emotional trauma of discrimination and abandonment to rediscover the Love and Light within himself. It is a hope-filled fable of unconditional, adamant self love documented in poetry, photography, and songs of shamanic prayer. 

I am here to build a community around my passion for storytelling and supporting underrepresented diverse artists.
