What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead cultural, literary, and content-driven programs where I can build partnerships, grow audiences, and expand the visibility of African narratives.

At OlongoAfrica, I secured 11 licensing agreements with US and European universities for Ebrohimie Road: A Museum of Memory, increasing revenue by 45% in nine months. I also curated more than 21 screenings across Nigeria and the United States to expand the visibility of African narratives.

I've led literary festivals, cultural campaigns, and content teams at Quramo Publishing, Ouida Books, Sterling Bank, and Folio Nigeria. My work has tripled festival audiences, increased book sales by 40%, and helped secure coverage with CNN, BBC Africa, and CNN Africa.

I bring eight years of program management, literary curation, cultural administration, storytelling, and teaching experience, including teaching more than 100 students at Kansas State University.
