Makeda is a photographer and creative director based in Brooklyn, NY, but she also has freelance writer and social media editor on her résumé. Makeda's work reflects her "exploration of concepts like intersecting identity, femininity, fashion, beauty, youth, and the Black American + African diaspora experience," as she puts it on her website.
Past Work: Ulta, Converse, Billboard, New Yorker, and the Urban Outfitters blog. View her portfolio here.
Current Mission: "Aside from working intensely on self-care and staying connected to my community during these tough times for Black people, I've been trying to keep my creativity alive with still lifes around the house, returning to my roots with self-portraits, and conceptualizing ideas in my notebooks and mood boards. I'm excited to get back to work IRL with some ecommerce collaborations and hopefully a new personal project," Makeda told POPSUGAR.
