There is an incredible group of people who contribute to our beautiful city in so many outstanding ways yet sometimes don't get the space, accolades, and recognition they fully deserve... Swedes of African and Afro-Caribbean descent. From restauranteurs and culinary artists to sculptors and curators, meet some of the Afro-Swedes shaping modern Stockholm in the December/January issue - https://lnkd.in/d8C-jBJd Thank you Duane Paul Shepherd @therumenthusiast @canerumsociety, Coumba Badin @petitplaisir.se, Yemisi Wilson @yemisiwilson, Marcia Harvey Isaksson @marcia_harvey_isaksson @southnord.artspace, Michael Barrett @mlawbarrett @etnografiska, Georgètte Dwomoh-Appiah @georg.ette_, Katarina Chintoh @aworldofcraft.se for your time and contribution to this article.

  • Yesterday, I was going through external hard drives looking for old stories and journals, and stumbled across a folder of images of my old oil paintings… Did you know before I became a travel photographer, I was an oil painter? I used to sell my paintings at a farmers’ market when I lived in Ohio and also exhibited when I lived in Northern Virginia. When I traveled, I used to take photos of scenes, places and objects I wanted to paint when I got back. Then I realized I was duplicating effort in a way and started exploring photography as an additional medium of expression. If you see my photography (Slide 2), you’ll see my past as an oil painter in my visual voice and style. Very vivid with lots of heavy contrast. Do you have any hobbies you’d like to return to in 2025? 🫶🏽
  • Since @instagram thinks I talk too much and cut off the last video 😅😅 Here’s the rest 🙏🏾🖤 ======================= What are you grateful for? I take nothing for granted. I am a product of God’s grace 🙏🏾❤️ Hope you all have a wonderful time of reflection and living in the moment with your loved ones. #Gratitude #Thanksgiving

  • From the #1046Sverige Project ========================= How can we increase inclusion in our personal lives? We love the hard truths in this tip from Lola Akinmade. “Get comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations. Even family members who love each other unconditionally have difficult conversations with each other. It essentially means ‘because I love you, I want you to grow.’ It is important to understand that having frank discussions about uncomfortable topics doesn’t negate all our great qualities and noble initiatives. It means if we truly champion inclusion like we proclaim to the world that we do, then we must be ready to face the systemic roadblocks that make achieving inclusion and equity challenging inside our own house. And if we continue to remain the roadblocks ourselves, then let’s be honest with ourselves — we are more interested in holding on to power than creating a truly equitable and inclusive society that works for all of us.” Lola Akinmade is an award-winning visual storyteller, international bestselling author published in 18 languages, and entrepreneur who focuses on culture, traditions, and lifestyles for the likes of National Geographic, The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC, and Travel + Leisure, to name a few. She runs the Stockholm-based creative storytelling agency Geotraveler Media @geotravelermedia and online academy Geotraveler Media Academy, which runs photography experiences around the world and is dedicated to visual storytelling and helping the next generation of travel storytellers put the heart back into the craft. #1046Sverige #DiversityAndInclusion #Inkluderingstips #InclusionTips #womeninbusiness #sweden

Yesterday, I was going through external hard drives looking for old stories and journals, and stumbled across a folder of images of my old oil paintings… Did you know before I became a travel photographer, I was an oil painter? I used to sell my paintings at a farmers’ market when I lived in Ohio and also exhibited when I lived in Northern Virginia. When I traveled, I used to take photos of scenes, places and objects I wanted to paint when I got back. Then I realized I was duplicating effort in a way and started exploring photography as an additional medium of expression. If you see my photography (Slide 2), you’ll see my past as an oil painter in my visual voice and style. Very vivid with lots of heavy contrast. Do you have any hobbies you’d like to return to in 2025? 🫶🏽
