Ethnographer

Educator

Join me in exploring enduring questions about our humanity through my ethnographic research in East Africa and my traveling life as an educator.

Quantitative research finds its way to newspaper articles and TV news headlines. But long, in-depth, nuanced, deeply empathetic, and humane research oftentimes only finds its way to university shelves and theses databases where only academics in Western universities can access it. I’m dedicated to democratizing knowledge and bringing my own rigourous and humanistic research to the general public through compelling storytelling.

Join me on a journey to explore different perspectives, reframe our understanding of the African continent, and learn how interconnected we are across the globe. You will gain appreciation for new perspectives, be challenged and asked to be vulnerable enough to admit what we don’t know. And in the process, you’ll gain and receive respect and bridge building with peoples and cultures previously unfamiliar to you.
I have experience speaking about my academic research and educational leadership perspective to students as young as four years old and adults as old your favorite grandparent in educational institutions, professional organizations, and social communities.

No. My travel writing is about lived experiences, human connections and disconnections with humor from a womanist perspective.
