Africa Is Home was born from light — the kind that reveals more than it illuminates.

Through the quiet dialogue between photography and prose, we sought to honor Africa not merely as a destination, but as a living consciousness of patience, resilience, and grace.

Every image carries a heartbeat.

Every word remembers the dust, the wind, and the sacred rhythm that unites land and soul.

Created by Alex Tu — a Vietnamese author, this work stands as a bridge between continents — a love letter written in light, truth, and reverence.

Africa Is Home is more than a book.

It is a pilgrimage of the spirit, a return to what is eternal.

ALEX TU

I am a daughter of Africa —

not by birth, but by light.

The red earth calls me by name,

the wind remembers the sound of my heart.

In its warmth,

I became myself again — gold reborn in the sun.

With deepest gratitude to all who believe in Africa and in a mission greater than ourselves.

My heartfelt thanks to the soulful bridges between continents — without you, I could not have understood Africa with such depth and truth.

It has been both a privilege and an honour to share this journey.
