Over the years we've had African stories being told by people for whom it is not a reality. We've seen over glorification and in some instances under reporting of the said stories. This has pushed me towards championing for the stories to be told as is, by someone living in the eye of the storm and not from the sidelines looking in

I'm proud of my heritage because
It is a beautiful potluck of cultures and people. We are also very good storytellers

Biggest misconception people have
Lazy and unimaginative.

Why do you think Diversity matters?
It is important to have all people at the table. For years this hasn't been the norm and the results have been disastrous.
