## Caption

In a world marked by both voluntary migration and the painful history of forced displacement, I am blessed to carry with me a deep connection to and understanding of the gifts of my lineage.

My grandmother came from a long line of travelling performers who journeyed through life supported by their talents as dancers, drummers, storytellers and musicians.

My upcoming album ‘How Should I...’ is a gift to my grandmother. 

An honouring of my ancestry, a celebration of the Yoruba culture that shaped me and an enquiry into how that perspective may be kept alive in the 21st century in a world of constant movement, evolution and cross-cultural pollination.
