LOS ANGELES — The first thing Dee Williams noticed was that it felt like home.
It was December 2019, and the Los Angeles-based photographer had just touched down in Accra, Ghana, for the first time. What she found hardly resembled L.A., but after being raised in a Jamaican family and taking frequent trips to the island, the atmosphere in Accra couldn't have felt more natural.
"The connection between Jamaica and Ghana is so loud and proud — I absolutely love it," Williams said. "Online, we have all the diaspora wars, but once you touch land, none of that."
