I’m an Igbo woman born and raised in North West London and all my work centers around storytelling, documenting, and archiving. This means my expertise spans across several disciplines and I treat everything I do with care.

Wrote and performed The Kola Nut Does Not Speak English, which ran at Bush Theatre in late 2022.


Education

Developing and delivering acting and performance workshops, seminars, lectures, and masterclasses across drama schools in the UK. Focusing on Race and Performance, African Theatre Practices, and exploring actor training beyond a eurocentric context.
