It’s that same story all over again, another black soul, voicing her injustice to a faceless, un-interested audience. My story is most likely similar to another black or ethnic minorities past, born into a country of war, flown to another country to be taken into the care of an aunt (who I’ll unknowingly refer to as mother) and my life will forever become tainted by the acts of those so-called adults. However I cannot blame them, for if it weren’t for their decisions would I even be alive today? Growing up the English old-fashioned way, which is very much...
The black woman's battle in the game of success

It’s that same story all over again, another black soul, voicing her injustice to a faceless, un-interested audience. My story is most likely similar to another black or ethnic minorities past, born into a country of war, flown to another country to be taken into the care of an aunt (who I’ll unknowingly refer to as mother) and my life will forever become tainted by the acts of those so-called adults. However I cannot blame them, for if it weren’t for their decisions would I even be alive today? Growing up the English old-fashioned way, which is very much still of fashion for all African families, girls and women cooked, cleaned and took care of the children, although these are all great essential skills in preparation for the future, how do they serve they’re purpose to a first class graduate female, still living at home, working in life-sucking profession with no success in the field she’d stressed and cried over for the best part of four years?

About me

Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raised, residing and living in London photographer, Laetitia Kamayi recently completed her degree in BA Honors Photography from the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham.

Laetitia’s interests lie in the introduction of self-representation for WoC (Women of Colour) and the Congo (and Africa) through the medium of photography and art, drawing ideas from personal experiences, lost memories and the unanswerable question of identity.
While primarily working with medium format, she also experiments with found images and the family archives. Laetitia also has a keen interest in curating and writing drawing heavy influences from the writings of Frantz Fanon and paintings of Frida Kahlo, whose work both explore the matters of identity and representation of one’s self and nation.

Laetitia has been exhibited in London, Surrey and India as well as co-curated the Lumiere exhibition in the Red Gallery, Rivington Street.
