#Creativity comes in many forms! It is a beautiful (sometimes challenging) process. I love being creative in many spheres, but primarily the #academic. Dedicating your life to academic pursuits preserves legacy of what is known about our world. My role is to document and curate the social world. My primary focus is Black cultural practices, mostly around #music, mainly in the West, but across the diaspora globally. Capture and theorise the narrative, expose its sociological, political and cultural value and do my part so it can stand the test of time.
