In this episode I speak with Amoako Boafo who is celebrated for his captivating portraits that honor and elevate Black figures, carving out a significant place for them in the tradition of portraiture. 

As a prominent voice in the art of the African Diaspora, Amoako redefines how Black forms are perceived in a global context. His unique approach challenges traditional perspectives and invites a more nuanced appreciation of the subjects he portrays.

He shares his journey as a photographer in Rwanda and the impact of visual storytelling. Through programs like Learning for Change and Women's Eye, Jacques supports young creatives, offering opportunities to aspiring photographers and videographers. He also highlights Rwanda's growing creative scene and the importance of storytelling in society.
