Ep. 73: Telling Your Story Through Different Art Forms with Taiwo Aloba

In this week’s episode, we amplify the voice of Taiwo Aloba.  Taiwo is an amazing author, poet, model, dancer; y’all, she does ALL.THE.THINGS! In 2016, Taiwo chose to leave Nigeria and move to the United States to follow her dreams.  She has written a book of poetry and pose, Surulere Lagos, which encapsulates the essence of the vibrant, heaving city in which she grew up. Listen as we discuss her multi-faceted talents and how she uses them all to express herself.

In this episode we chat about:

1. Why it was important for her to write her story from her personal and deep experiences living through historic moments in Nigeria.

2. Taiwo’s favorite artistic influences that spark her creativity. 

3. Why she was raised to “taste the world” since birth.
