Omowumni & Everett

Deborah (Omowunmi) Dauda and Everett Alexander are co-founders of Distant Relatives. Their innovation is driven by their love for one another and their Black intra-ethnic/racial roots as Yoruba-Bajju and African American, anchoring their life-work in a commitment to bridging global Africa toward liberated and flourishing futures.

Project: Distant Relatives curates culturally affirming spaces to facilitate critical dialogues through creative activities and political education focused on our shared and diverse histories, our systems of care, ways of knowing, and ways of being.
