I am a 17-year-old artistic creator and spoken word poet based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and one of the inaugural Youth Poet Laureates of Nova Scotia. I express myself through writing, performance, drawing, crafting, sewing, and singing. My artistic abilities are deeply rooted in my heritage; I feel a strong connection to my late grandfather, a graphic designer at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, and to my Ekiti Great Grandmother who wove "aso oke" (handwoven cloth) and created art through textiles and storytelling.

My art centers on themes of justice, racial and gender equity, body empowerment, and overcoming racism and sexism. I am unafraid to speak out, using my work to raise awareness and inspire change. In my poetry, I reflect the songs, languages, and culture of my Yoruba, Nigerian heritage, ensuring that my creative expressions honor my roots.

Through spoken word, I aim to spark conversations about racial equity and build bridges of understanding. I hope to encourage those who experience my work to view the world more critically and compassionately. Together, we can create spaces for healing, creativity, and meaningful change.

As a spoken word poet and emerging Black Canadian writer, I value the rich tradition of oral storytelling, performance, and music that defines this art form. It’s important for me, as a Nigerian-Canadian with Yoruba roots, to weave my culture, music, language, and ancestral stories into my writing. My goal is to amplify voices and raise awareness about race, community, and social justice issues through my storytelling.
