"It's the people, the people, the people"

When visiting a sleepy town in Senegal called Toubab Dialaw, I was amazed by the love the people shared for each other and their resilience as a community. The village is located along the Petite Côte, where the sea is central to their economy, culture, and identity. Within hours, I became like family with the residents in the village. The village was buzzing with Senegalese creators welcoming opportunities to co-create. I'm forever thankful for my new family in this village. These photos capture the people, place, and little things that warmed my heart.
