Blaxicans of L.A. is a collaborative ethnographic photography project I founded in 2015 alongside scholar Walter Thompson-Hernandez. I contributed research, photography, and project direction with the goal of amplifying stories and visibility by multiracial Black-Mexicans and Afro-Latinxs in the Los Angeles area. Here are photographs I produced with excerpts of the interviews I conducted. Thank you to journalist Ebony Bailey for providing contributing to this project as well. Instagram account @BlaxicansofLA
