Tune in to Episode 49 where we speak with Ghanaian documentary photographer, Francis Kokoroko, about the importance of sharing photos of your community. Black photographers have documented their communities for decades. Many of these talented historians have gone unnoticed. But now technology has bridged the gap, allowing photographers to more easily share images and stories of their culture. And the world gets to appreciate that beauty. Francis keeps a visual journal of his city called Accra Photo. He does with photos what poets do with words. His photography is an honest portrayal of his home and it invites viewers in with arms wide open. He believes that sharing photographs have the potential to change lives. It gives the world access to more humanity.
