A little bit about me

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and radical optimist.

I grew up between Lagos (Nigeria) and London, lived for many years in Brooklyn NY where I had a fulfilling career in arts, fashion and creative education.

I consolidated all my experiences through my MA in Cross Sectoral and Community Arts at Goldsmiths-University of London, with a focus on social practice, community engagement, creative empowerment and social change.

I am a creative nomad, working simultaneously as a Socially Engaged Artist, Creative Producer and Coach.

I work across multiple art forms with one or more of these hats on - making performances and installations, producing films, facilitating participatory arts projects or coaching creative change-makers.

I am currently the Programme Director of the BA (Hons) in Theatre & Social Change at Rose Bruford College, and a proud Trustee for arts companies Speech Bubbles and Tangled Feet.

In my spare time you can find me spending time in theatres, cinemas, festivals, singing in community choirs, engaging in long meandering conversations (preferably over food) with friends, dreaming up the future while discovering the hidden woodlands of London with my husband, creating stories & making memories with my curious son.
