I was able to do a photoshoot here in Ghana for the song i worked on a couple of weeks ago! I did the photoshoot on campus with a photographer friend I knew from before. We took the photos at his at home studio. I had a blast!

I was able to attend a couple of sip and paint classes with some friends here in Ghana! I have never been to a sip and paint before. Even back home. So it was a wonderful first experience.

These are some pictures from the ADA art gallery i went to with some friends. We saw some artwork of a nigerian artist. He painted black cowboys in the color pink to contradict the stereotypical idea that men should wear blue or that pink isn’t masculine.
