Storytelling from and for our world

Storytelling

I see storytelling as advocacy.

Whether it be a feature on Latin America’s illicit organ trade or a travel profile of Rotterdam’s Cape Verdean diaspora (which was listed by GQ as a reason to be excited for the 2026 FIFA World Cup) I provide a platform to unreported stories and unheard voices.

Rather than dealing in soundbites or hot takes, my currency is human experience.

World Cup Travel Feature

Organised Crime Analysis

Along with detailed storytelling, I have news analysis experience with InSight Crime, the leading platform covering organised crime in Latin America.

You can see some of my reporting here.

UnFeatured

UnFeatured is my Substack, where I publish deeply reported stories that fall outside of mainstream coverage about - broadly speaking - being human.

This is the essence that I try to capture in this series of subjective, loosely structured and highly human travelogues.

Sorry AI, you just had to be there.
