Using a small, hand-held video camera, Hanifah peruses the streets, coffee shops and social circles, actively engaging with straight and queer women of the African diaspora from all walks of life. By traveling from Sweden to Morocco, Hanifah exposes us to dynamic new voices, people and stories we might otherwise never know.
None on Record
None on Record: Stories of Queer Africa is a sound documentary project that collects the stories of queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (QLGBT) Africans from the African Continent and the Diaspora. None on Record adds to the growing histories told by QLGBT Africans all over the world. QLGBT Africans are everywhere—within the neighborhoods of Dakar, Toronto, Nairobi, New York City and London and in the small towns and villages of African countries.
This revolutionary venture is inspired by FannyAnn Eddy, an LGBT activist from Sierra Leone, West Africa who was brutally assassinated in 2004, in the offices of the Sierra Leone Lesbian and Gay Association. Determined to create a far-reaching, accessible and empowering archive, None on Record documents the hopes, struggles, challenges and joys of being a QLGBT African.

Out of Frame focuses on filmmakers, photographers and unique individuals within the mediums that think and act outside of the box.
Salt and Sugar
Salt and Sugar is where pop and politics are intersect. These days there is little shame in deconstructing both. they both have their equal share at our kitchen tables and bars. Together with a small army of smart people we will collect daily links, videos, articles and opinion pieces from just outside our domain and bring them to back home to you.
U People Story Archive
When was the last time you felt like you didn’t belong? Like you were in the wrong place, the wrong time, the wrong skin or expressing the wrong sexual preference? Have you ever told anyone? If so, how did you feel when you were done?
Maybe you’ve never talked about it. Similarly, maybe you’ve never asked anyone how they felt when you created a comparable experience for them. Whichever side of the line you’re more familiar with, it’s safe to say, we’ve all known what it feels like to be Other.
The U People Story Archive is an opportunity to bear witness as people share their experiences of feeling like outcasts both within and outside of their communities. Cutting across class, race, sex and sexuality, The U People Story Archive is an incredible opportunity to heal, learn and embrace.
