Description

Limitless Africans is a documentary photography series about LGBTQ African immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers in North America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Photographed over 6 years in 10 countries, the series documents the lives and experiences of 50 LGBTQ African immigrants and places their narratives in conversation with precolonial African notions of LGBTQ people as the gatekeepers, shamans, and healers of their communities, combatting contemporary ideas that it is "un-African" to be LGBTQ.

"To the queer Africans that would be shunned by their community, family and/or country. To the queer Africans that are in desperate need of an answer and feeling lost as to where to look for it.

I know the feeling.

Chant this from the top of your lungs and mean it with every emotion in your body.

You are bold and filled with strength.

You are not alone. I’m with you. Limitless is with you.

We are here, we exist and WE ARE NOT going anywhere.

To Being a Limitless African " - Mai’Yah (furthest right)
