Back in 2010, I traveled to Nigeria to conduct research for a multidisciplinary memoir of my late mother, Elizabeth Essien, who died of cancer in 2002. I interviewed family and friends, took photos, wrote essays, and shot footage documenting my mother’s story and our family history. In 2013, I created an e-book of photos and essays called Elizabeth’s Daughter in Words and Pictures.
Today, eight years later, I invite you to join me in reimagining Elizabeth’s Daughter as a memoir gallery and residency for African womxn artists. Visit iFundWomen to learn more and donate during Women’s History Month!
