Welcome to my archive of projects, photos, videos, illustrations, and research about my family and Jamaica
This project began with a short documentary Bloodline (2019) where my mom and I discuss our family tree, her immigrating to the U.S. from Jamaica, stitched with home videos and photographs.
The Films
Now in 2022 and in my senior year at Pratt Institute, I’ll be continuing the world of Bloodline with my short thesis film.
