I’m thrilled to be moderating an engaging conversation at Ake Arts & Book Festival on 22nd November in Lagos, Nigeria. I’ll be in dialogue with Tunde Onakoya, Onimole Kayode, and Lola Shoneyin as we explore Tunde Onakoya: The Chess Champion - a story of resilience, vision, and the transformative power of mentorship.

Through my Soma Nami Podcast, I explore how books archive culture, connect communities, and spark dialogue. I believe stories can inspire social change - amplifying voices, preserving memory, and transforming the way we see ourselves and each other.

This year, we partnered with the Embassy of Colombia in Kenya to host the 3rd edition of the African Book Fair - a vibrant celebration of stories as bridges between cultures and communities. We are always open to new collaborations that champion literature, dialogue, and cultural exchange.

The Soma Nami Book Club is where reading in community truly comes alive. A vibrant space for rich conversations, shared reflections, and meaningful connection through African literature. Reading together deepens understanding and builds community. Join the book club and Soma Nasi.

I am available for speaking and moderation engagements, offering thoughtful, engaging facilitation on literature, culture, and social change. Let’s collaborate and bring powerful conversations to life.
