His background is Media and Communications and he is committed to research on themes of African student experience, diasporic identities, film and cinema, and conceptualisations of home/belonging.

Through his research practise, he aims to reach a wide audience of people, both academics and non-academics, while promoting self-expression and authenticity about human lived experience.
