Words We Don’t Say is about the complexities between a father and daughter relationship. The nuances. The vulnerability and the words we don’t say but wish to. This is an incredibly personal project for me. I wanted to humanise fathers who struggle with showing their vulnerability and perhaps give them a voice in a society that often is critical of them. In the same breath, allowing daughters to feel the weight of that without carrying the responsibility for how their fathers choose to navigate life. I wanted to approach this story as some sort of therapy and hopefully allow space for healing for those who come across it. The passion and enthusiasm from everyone involved gave me so much energy. I couldn’t have asked for a better team and support system. @akinoladaviesjr thank you for being so supportive and allowing me to do my thing. @bindybaby your passion and energy means the world. @jaimeackroyd thank you for being so precise and trusting my chaotic brain. @lainyblack for being my backbone. @kibreacarmichael for baring your soul on this. @cktrl thank you for putting up with me!
