I am a Pan-African screenwriter and storyteller working across film, television, editorial writing, and social impact storytelling. With over seven years of experience, my work explores African identity, culture, gender, technology, and lived human experiences, centering on dignity, nuance, and truth.
I am driven by a deep interest in people and their stories, and I am committed to shaping African narratives by Africans, for the world. I pursue honest, intimate storytelling that respects cultural specificity while celebrating complexity, using film and writing to connect pasts, presents, and futures.
