Message

At OBDK Media, I work as a Content Consultant/Trainer and write about art for publications including ContemporaryAnd, Art Africa, Omenka, Thisday, Culture Trip, and The Nation. I also produce the Art In Lagos Podcast and contributed to the official Newsletter for the 2014 Dakar Art Biennale.

I facilitated writing workshops for art journalists for British Council and ContempraryAnd in Nigeria and Zimbabwe. I also write and edit SEO-driven copy for startups, including Josplay’s African Music Library and DOCiHealthcare.

At Dyslexia Nigeria, I designed and implemented communications campaigns, developed press releases and editorials, and led the daily production of content. Earlier, across 234NEXT, BusinessDay, and Media24, I wrote and edited online content and pioneered News24’s video section in Nigeria.
