We are qualified by the way we look, not by the quality of our spirit, work or character. Society constantly uses the external to qualify and in many cases sets unrealistic expectations of what we should look like or aspire to look like. The Redefining Beauty event aims to explore the narrative of beauty […]
Again i am equally as nervous as i am excited. I have finally tried my hands at a little experimental film. It is my first so please don’t judge too harshly. It all started from a short story i wrote a few years ago called Shrink. A story about a very self aware young […]
Lately I have been receiving tonnes of emails and equally having lots of conversations about confidence and how little of it there seems to be. I am coming to the realisation that much like a lot of things, we trivialise it all by making it about the peripheral – getting a new wardrobe, or […]
A friend once shared with me his two most cherished life philosophies which he also shared with his daughter when she was very young. The first; no one has the right to treat you less than you are. The second; unrequited love is bullshit. Well where was he when I was a little girl? It […]

Ok, so it was also an opportunity to indulge my wannabe model fantasies. I reckon […]

It has been an incredible and exciting month already. I performed at the Bogobiri Festival poetry night along with some of my friends whose work i respect deeply like Efe Paul, Titi Sonuga, Donna, and Dolapo. I even got a little emotional( well little is a nice way of putting it). Then there was […]
