“Strolling” is an ongoing series of videos brought to you by artist Cecile Emeke. The series features black Londoners talking about life and perception and even though the videos are fairly short, they definitely dig deep. The latest edition of “Strolling” features Vanessa in Brick Lane, London. She talks about media representations of black women and the fact that we literally “have to pay to be women”.
