About me
I am a British Nigerian poet and creative communicator based in London. Working with brands, organisations, galleries, and schools through a range of mediums to creatively communicate their messages and goals to an audience. Commissions: Written poems for creative campaigns for Selfridges, Mother of Pearl, and Regent Street. Some poems are turned into campaign films, others are performed at special events. Creative writing facilitator: I have taught workshops across all ages and levels, schools, community settings, galleries and museums such as Sotheby's, Wellcome Collection, Bethlem Museum of the mind, and Dulwich Picture Gallery. Some workshops are based on a theme, skill, or in response to an exhibition or art. Storytelling communicator: Helping small businesses develop a brand story and identity to better find and market to their audiences in an emotive way that will have long lasting effects.
