I’m adopted from Sierra Leone, West Africa and my mother always tells the story about the first time she saw me. It was a photo that captured her heart. One photo caused my parents to cross the world to find me. I grew up realizing that one photo can change the course of your life, just like it did for me.

When I got my very first phone all I did was take pictures of my friends, family, food and of course me! I rarely ever called anyone; I spent hours shooting photos. I loved capturing every moment that I could. I was so comfortable holding that camera and felt like there was so much of the world I needed to freeze in a frame.
