Biography
I am a British-Nigerian-Trinidadian creative storyteller, currently based in Lagos, Nigeria. I have several years’ experience working in various parts of Northern & Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America, as a text, video and photo journalist, editor and media trainer. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in French & Spanish at University College London (UCL) before moving to New York City to complete my Master’s in Journalism at Columbia University. After graduating, I worked in entertainment and fashion journalism, before moving to Nigeria, where I focus on human-interest stories, exploring issues such as urban poverty, gender inequity and the climate crisis.

Like many rural communities, these two villages of fishermen and farmers in the community of Mbiabet, tucked away in clearings within a dense palm forest, had never been connected to the country’s national electricity grid.
