Tackling Foot-borne Diseases
Samaritans Feet is a non-profit that is very dear to my heart. I led a missions trip to Nigeria to serve the kids there by helping provide needed shoes. Also worked with some of my students to envision a different approach to anti-microbial and biodegradable shoes that will help the organization continue in its mission.

Oju Ona - Paintings
I am a figurative painter. I use Yoruba principles of art in my work. Some are Ona (the embellishment of form), Ara (creativity), Ere (improvisation), pipe (completeness) and tutu (coolness). I draw inspiration from the work of the 1960s Bay Area figurative expressionists (Diebenkorn, Oliveira, Brown, Wonner, Bischoff, Park etc) as well as Henri Matisse and Mark Rothko.
