I am a Detroit, Michigan–based professional photographer, visual storyteller, and sound meditation facilitator—also a son, father, teacher, and blogger with a deep passion for living, cooking, libations, and reflecting on the small moments that shape our lives.

For more than 20 years, I have told stories through photography, creating award-winning work that documents people, culture, and place with honesty and soul. My images have been featured in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, magazines, billboards, and other media platforms around the world.

Alongside my visual practice, I lead a sound meditation project called Sankofa Mind + Body, conceived while traveling through the Brazilian rainforest, where I was introduced to sound healing by Indigenous practitioners. That experience ignited a lifelong devotion to this ancient healing medium, which I have since carried through West Africa, North America, South America, and Europe.

At the heart of my life and work is my traditional African spiritual practice rooted in Ifá. I am an Àwofakàn of Orúnmìlà, guided by Ifá and grounded in ancestral wisdom. Iemanjá (Yemọja / Yemayá / Yemoja) is my divine mother, and I walk as her son, Oluwalé, carrying her waters, memory, and creative force into everything I create.

I also serve as a Hausa tribal chief in Nima, Accra, Ghana, where I act as an African Diaspora ambassador—bridging cultures through storytelling, wellness, and creative cultural exchange.
