Creative Testimony & Speaking

For festivals, publishers, and community-led platforms: I use storytelling to bridge data and empathy, engaging audiences in the difficult dialogues of our time.

• Keynotes & Panel Discussions: Speaking generally on the human experience, with specific interests in literature, migration, queer African identities, spirituality and mysticism, etc., etc.
• Creative Writing & Memoir: Collaboration on narrative projects that centre the African diaspora (inspired by Dear Bode).
• Workshops on Narrative Healing: Teaching how to use writing as a vessel for processing trauma and attaining spiritual transcendence.

Working with Me

I operate on the principle of response. My best work occurs when there is a clear invitation that aligns with my sense of satisfaction and research-driven intuition.

1. The Invitation: If you have a project aligned with these pillars, please reach out with a clear brief.
2. The Clarity Phase: I request a 48-hour window to consider new proposals before committing. This ensures that when I agree to a project, I am fully energised and dedicated.
3. The Collaboration: Once aligned, I tend to move fast to ensure our work is both deep and impactful.
