Creative development & production of original animated content
I collaborate with creatives from across the African continent and the world to co-create storyworlds that make children feel seen, entertained and empowered. Stories that celebrate diversity and untold histories, stories that reimagine violent pasts and colonisation into brighter, united futures.
Screenwriting
I am passionate about writing scripts that allow children to engage with the big questions of their time. In 2022, I co-wrote the concept and script for “Kaltstart”, a German mystery series about artificial intelligence for children aged 10+ (UFA Show & KiKA).
Works-in-Progress
“The most destructive idea in existence: ‘I am greater than you. You are less than me.’ The Great Rift will continue to expand for as long as we do not understand that, I am because you are.”
- Chika (ChiChi’s grandmother’s ancestral spirit)
My writing centers around themes of creativity, community and collective healing. I like to invite children to imagine a world in which life is truly valued, our environment is safeguarded, our stories are as diverse as we are, our vulnerabilities and trauma are nothing to be ashamed of, and humans express themselves freely and creatively. Together with my Lagos-based team, I am currently developing a graphic novel, an animated series, a game concept and transmedia storyworld. Please get in touch if you work in publishing, production, gaming or streaming, and are interested in original content that amplifies African and Indigenous perspectives in children’s media.
