“In the detanglement of matted lies, I and the sistrens tend to the endings with a fine tooth comb, journeying to reset the roots to its natural majesty.”
Rizpah Amadasun, a creative designer, spoken word artist and broadcaster; descending proudly from Benin City, I am a British girl with wild dreams living in the South West. With an eclectic expression of my Black Identities, I roam the earth spreading acts of love and realising that despite what I was taught, I am enough.
