Are you searching for an engaging speaker to add energy and inspiration to your event? Look no further!

In addition to being a talented artist and illustrator, specializing in Afrocentric and multicultural themes, and I’m known for my dynamic and engaging speaking style.

With a wealth of experience creating stunning illustrations for clients all over the world, from the United States and the United Kingdom to my native Nigeria, I have a deep understanding of the creative process and the importance of diversity and representation in art. I’ve even taken my passion to the next level by designing and self-publishing my own books, which are available on Amazon.

Because I am a late starter to fully embracing visual art as a lifelong vocation, I am also passionate about encouraging younger people to pursue creativity as early as possible in life.

As a speaker, I bring a unique perspective and contagious energy to every engagement. Whether you need a keynote speaker, panelist, or workshop facilitator, I can tailor my presentation to meet the specific needs and interests of your audience. My interactive and thought-provoking presentations will leave your audience feeling inspired and ready to unleash their own creativity.

My topics include the power of art and storytelling, the impact of diversity and representation in creativity, and the importance of pursuing your passions in life. And with my engaging speaking style, I can captivate your audience from start to finish.
