My latest photo assignment for The Guardian “The Gullah Geechee Fight for A Legacy After Slavery”. I traveled between St. Helena, Sapelo Island, Hilton Head Island, and Savannah, GA documenting the descendants of the Gullah Geechee and their fight to preserve their culture.

Through artist @SheldonScott1's handmade cotton hammocks, @amberkalli traces how cotton “marks our shared Black geographies, drawing us into collective and fugitive relation with water, weather, and soil.”

Over the summer, I toured Eaton and thought I would just write about the hotel. My convo (and the ones that followed) with @SheldonScott1 ended up being very enlightening. Here's my profile of the artist, with portraits by @deedwyerjonts: bit.ly/3dZEM5l
