THE STORY
A land of rich green hues stretching across the acres. Fields of crops and fruit trees. All observed as Zainab walked the property alongside the Fulani family she stayed with in Wansan.
A profound sense of aliveness.Zainab was completely mesmerized by the beauty of Wansan and the tangible way the Fulani are connected to the land on which they live.The village is surrounded by an expansive array of lush greenery that was enchanting and idyllic. -
