I’m a Nigeria-born, Atlanta-raised writer and scholar-practitioner. I hold a PhD in Cinema Studies from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. My research concerns how contemporary women filmmakers of the southeastern Nigerian diaspora render critical aspects of African and African diasporic women’s lives through installation art. I am the writer and director of This Thing Is Not for You (2022), a short film that has screened at the New York African Film Festival, the San Francisco Black Film Festival, the Morehouse College Human Rights Festival, and beyond. I previously worked as Assistant Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. I completed an MA in Global Creative & Cultural Industries at SOAS. I founded AFRICA SALON, a contemporary African arts festival, as an undergrad at Yale. My writing appears in publications including Seen Journal, ASAP/J, Feminist Review, and Burnaway. As a Libra sun/Gemini rising, I express myself, my thoughts, and my creative visions through multiple mediums and practices. My goal is always the same: to make space for, center, name, articulate, and uplift Black, African, and diasporic experiences with a focus on women and gender-expansive people. In and outside of my work, I seek out things that feel magical, like astrology, good plant-based food, and my fur babies.
