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.

Wiilo – Queer Somali (Pronouns : they)

Arlington, VA, USA (2015)

“Wiilo Geedi. Wiilo in Somali means girls who dresses like boy. It’s a nickname that I was given by my elders when I was younger. It’s something that has always comforted me when I was going through my process of discovering my queerness and helped me to overcome the shame and the feeling of being pushed away from my culture. ”
