Research · Travel · Education in the African Diaspora

Exploring the rich cultural traditions of the African Diaspora through dance, education, and storytelling.

Welcome to My Digital Home

This site is a living archive of my journey—woven with stories, research, and insights from my life as a performing artist and educator.

 

It’s a celebration of the global African Diaspora, a community that fuels my purpose. To the young minds I mentor: this space is yours too. Explore, dream, and let it remind you that growth is a rhythm—keep moving to its beat.

 

Every achievement here mirrors a simple truth: the energy you pour into life pours back into you. So dare boldly, create fiercely, and never settle.

My Cultural Compass

Three Regions, One Purpose — Honoring the African Diaspora Through Dance, Research, and Education

Africa: The Source

My journey ignited in Senegal in 1996—a spark that grew across Uganda, Nigeria, and Ghana. Africa is more than a place; it’s the root of my creativity, the pulse of my work in the Diaspora, and the compass for everything beyond.

Caribbean: The Connection

From Trinidad’s Carnival to the rhythms of Haiti, my Caribbean roots influence my artistic voice. I’ve studied folklore, Orisha movement, and helped post-earthquake healing efforts through dance.

United States: The Fusion

My work comes together in the U.S., where I serve as professor at Queensborough Community College and direct the Kofago Dance Ensemble. Here, I blend research, education, and performance to empower youth and inspire cultural preservation.

Our Philosophy
