My research and teaching interest is in African Visual Culture at the intersection of political economy and development. I research and write on African Cinema, African Women in Cinema, Black Women in Visual Culture, and African Women and Visual Representation. In addition, my teaching locates African American experiences within a national and global context.  I currently teach in the Washington DC area.
