If you are here, you get to know me a little more closely. Not just the titles or the works, but the pulse that carries them.
I think of myself as a multidisciplinary vessel: a writer, poet, curator, and storyteller, moved by the call to hold space for voices often left unheard. My work circles around mental health, belonging, diasporic identity, and the fragile, tender threads that connect us. I believe in living many lives while being fully present in the now, in using art as a way of listening, of reminding us that we are not alone.
I curate Taruwa, a gathering where diasporas meet through creativity, storytelling, and joy, and I founded Poetry and Tea, a safe space for creative expression and well-being. These are not just events but extensions of my conviction that healing often begins in community. My writing and performances—whether in books, on stage, or in workshops—are guided by empathy, vulnerability, and the hope that stories can spark dialogue and create social impact.
Home is a theme that lingers in my life and art. Born in Kano, raised in Abuja, Nigeria, and now living in Flanders with my family, I am constantly making and remaking home: between where I come from, which gave me foundation, and where I am, which is still shaping me. In that in-between, I search, I root, and I create. I am also a mother and life partner, roles that teach me daily about presence, patience, and love.
If you read my work or step into one of my gatherings, you step into that search too: a journey of becoming, of listening, of holding contradictions with grace.
