As the child of a Nigerian immigrant and a Black and Indigenous mother, my childhood consisted of a global geopolitical analysis after One Saturday Morning. Growing up on Long Island gave me access to the vibrant and diverse cultures only a train ride away from the isle of Manhattan. I longed to be in the thick of things, learning about all the different people of the world, which sent me down south to the Capitol for college. I moved to Washington, D.C. to attend the illustrious Howard University, where I studied print journalism and Spanish, as well as how to find the best mumbo sauce. Since graduating I've navigated the ever-changing media world working as a writer, producer, social and project manager, and most currently a deputy editor.
