Garden work and outdoor cooking underway at a Nkpor homestead

A young Black woman wearing a blue dress and a pink apron is cooking in Nkpor, Nigeria. She is standing and using a slotted metal spoon to add ingredients from a scoop to a large, black cooking pot filled with oil and food. The pot is placed on a stove. Behind her, to the right, is a large, round metal lid with writing on it. The background wall is dark gray and has a horizontal band of orange and a band of white. To her left, there are some tiled surfaces and a plastic basket. The scene appears to be in a kitchen or food preparation area.

The pot is made of aluminum and is heavily stained with grease and soot on the bottom. In the background, there are various containers, plastic bags, a yellow plastic chair, a fan, and a white bucket. The floor is tiled with a mosaic pattern, and the ceiling is made of corrugated metal sheets supported by wooden beams.
