The 2022 Hidden Compass #PathfinderPrize winner ha The 2022 Hidden Compass #PathfinderPrize winner has been announced — and we're going to Greenland next year! Thank you so much to @hiddencompassmedia and its Allies for this incredible opportunity to follow in the footsteps of legendary Tété-Michel Kpomassie's "An African in Greenland". Can't wait to travel back with my incredible teammates @noo.saro.wiwa and @erikjaraker! #Repost @hiddencompassmedia with @get.repost ・・・ The 2022 Pathfinder Prize winner has been announced — and they’re going to Greenland to follow “In Tété’s Footsteps.” Congratulations to the expedition team behind the winning project: Expedition Leader: Lola Akinmade Åkerström @lolaakinmade Visual Storyteller: Noo Saro-Wiwa @noo.saro.wiwa Videographer: Erik Jaråker @erikjaraker The expedition is inspired by Togo-born explorer Tété-Michel Kpomassie (pictured above) and his acclaimed book, An African in Greenland. The explorers aim to answer the questions: Who gets to tell the story of a place? Does cultural connection manifest differently in the images and stories collected by the expeditioners based on who they are? And how do cultures interact with expeditioners as storytellers of color? Thank you to everyone who voted, and congratulations to the winning team! We and our Allies look forward to hearing about your discoveries, Pathfinders. 📸 Image courtesy of Tété-Michel Kpomassie

This is how I plan to show up metaphorically in th This is how I plan to show up metaphorically in this next season and transition of my life - mentally, emotionally, personally, and professionally, God willing 🙏🏾 Standing fully in my power 🖤 I’m taking a moment to pause, reflect, and praise God for such an incredible journey - both internal and external - of learning, developing, evolving, failing, getting back up, and embracing every new phase as I grow older. I’m leaning more into, and protecting, my energy and my sensitivity to external energy. Being open to fully receiving as much as I give (a challenge for generous spirits) will be a manifestation too. And above all, truly letting go and letting God fully take the reigns is the only way forward from here. How do you fully show up in your own lives? 💄 @glammmbyamy 💇🏾‍♀️ @zuzy_pretty #Afroswede #afrosvensk #sweden
