I host conversations, stages and events where the quality of the exchange matters.
Working across broadcast, conferences, festivals and cultural and civic spaces, I bring preparation, warmth and editorial judgement to the room.
In the room
I work across live events, broadcast and public conversation, taking responsibility for the quality of the exchange and the experience of the audience.
Event hosting & compering
I host conferences, festivals, cultural programmes and public events, working with producers and speakers to hold the room with clarity, pace and warmth.
Interviews & broadcast
Across radio, television, digital platforms and live stages, I interview people in ways that move beyond rehearsed answers and open up something useful.
Moderation
I moderate panels and public conversations where preparation, listening and judgement matter. I create enough structure for the conversation to go somewhere.
Speaking
I speak from lived practice as a media entrepreneur, broadcaster and narrative strategist, with a focus on media, public narrative, culture, entrepreneurship and African and diaspora public life.
What I build
My public-facing work sits within a wider practice of building media and storytelling infrastructure.
I am founding Director of African Voices Platform, an independent public-interest media organisation working across radio, television and digital media. AVP creates sustained space for African and diaspora ideas, culture and public life, while developing new routes into broadcasting, journalism and cultural production.
