Reminiscing on what I learnt during the street photography workshop with Bernard Kalu @spwwbk during @toluade_ session, Iāve decided to bring the story telling skill back home, starting with my dadās story.
Anticipate š
Itās finally here šš
Dear diary is a story of a teenage girl, it is now on my YouTube channel and it is to celebrate international day for the elimination of violence against women.
Shot and edited on my phone.
Shoutout to my sister @praisethemodel for being the best cast ever
The people who have been on this journey with me know how much I have wanted to learn from @oluwadabest
I just had to jump on the #filmbydtinternsearch by @filmbydt
Well... This is my entry.

Choreo Cinema World š
Not just film. Not just dance.
But the space in between,
where movement becomes image and image begins to move.
Save the date.

This is an opportunity to bring everything Iāve learnt and seen and observed in some of the film festivals Iāve been to. Itās time to actually incorporate it in a real-world scenarioā
Listen to @milan_documentaries talk about what drew her to the Choreo Cinema World Platform.

My plan when I was going to Dakar, Senegal was to make a short documentary, but it was quite difficult because most people speak French and I don't.
I was able to make this one with the help of a lady in the hotel I stayed in and this was what we were able to come up with.
I have no idea what the man is saying in the video, this is a whole different experiment for me.
I just edited based on the questions asked.
I recorded the audio with my dad's phone that I am currently managing.
The audio was cleaned by @officially_ata_
Camera is the Canon M50 (thanks to Canon)

Weāre unveiling the team behind Choreo Cinema World.
Choreo Cinema World is a platform for movement-based storytelling that explores how choreography , routine, ritual, and other expressions of movement systems can live beyond the stage through screen based experimental works.
It brings together dance artists, filmmakers, researchers and interdisciplinary creators, creating space for movement to be seen, shared, and experienced in new ways.
Today, we introduce the people shaping this vision behind the scenes.
Follow our next posts to discover each team member and their roles.
Stay tuned and follow this page for more updates.
Change doesnāt always come from grand gestures.
Sometimes, it begins with simply showing up.
Temitope @milan_documentaries witnessed a student move from hesitation to confidenceāguided through a simple yet powerful moment: typing their name and pressing Enter. That small action unlocked belief, possibility, and joy.
āYou donāt need to be an expert; you just need to be present.ā
If youāve been looking for a meaningful way to give back, this is a reminder that impact starts with small, intentional steps.
Volunteer with Cybtracy. Be present. Help create lasting change in your community today.

God uses men, and the people he has used for me are @oluwadabest and @tolanialli
I have wanted to attend SER (@_shooteditrepeat )for some years now, and I'm grateful to God it finally happened.
Romans 1:11
[11]For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
"Some things are taught. Some are caught."
There is just that thing about physical gatherings.
I have watched almost all of Dabest's video on YouTube, I have watched most of his commercial (if not all, except it's not on YouTube).
I'm so glad I could finally learn from him and watch him work.
Thank you so much, @oluwadabest and @tolanialli I'm sooooo grateful.
Thanks to all the people he invited as well (I will try to tag as many I know their handle)
Special thanks to @filmbydt team (they are the dream team for real)
Met so many amazing people as well.
