Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging

Chef Eric Adjepong's book, Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging! It's been a joy to draw rich foods and heart-warming characters and showcase pride in being you and embracing your culture. Happy to illustrate it. We also received our first star for it!

The Yes In My Pocket: A Mockup Cover Concept

“There’s a YES in Lina’s pocket that wants to be free but for some reason, NO is the easiest to leave her mouth. Can Lina say YES to a change or will fear be full off another NO one more day?”
