Iโd like to dedicate this piece to the biggest dreamers I know: my brother, Surprise, and my cousin, 'Bro Deji' (Oloba 1).
You know how they say, "If your dreams don't scare you, you havenโt even started dreaming"? I believe it's true. So, I put this piece together to encourage every dreamer out there. Your imagination will soon become your realityโkeep dreaming. ๐ซโค๏ธ
In April 2021, I completed a course on 'Storytelling for Social Change' from the University of Michigan. Iโve always known I loved storytelling, and I believe Iโm one of the best storytellers God created. So, I committed to polishing this gold God gave me.
In October 2023, I graduated from the prestigious
@02academylagos as the best graduating copywriter. Huge thanks to my tutor,
@jitanwrites and my amazing coursemates
@dupe_jayeola ,
@phenomenalteddy , Tosin,
@sabifitnesscoach , Adeola, Dabira,
@adedolapoeb , and so many more.
Earlier this month, I graduated from
@delyorkcreativeacademy as a certified screenwriterโone of my biggest dreams come true. Iโve always loved film. In fact, my final year project was about film. I had the opportunity to interview
@ruthkadiri (thanks to my cousin), Francis Onwochei, Cinemapointer (shoutout to Creative Nerd, one of my biggest inspirationsโman is a bundle of talent ๐ฅนโค๏ธ),
@crea8ivenerd , Dr. Shaibu
@igalaman , the DG of NFVCB (God knows I love this man for all the knowledge he poured into us during our UNILAG lectures), and Barnabas Emordi.
Talking to
@barnyee gave me a broader perspective on Nollywood. I remember being so scared to call him because, unlike the others I interviewed, I had no connection with him ๐. But from the first "hello," he sounded more like a big brother. That interview ended up being my favoriteโwe actually had a real conversation. These moments pushed me to chase my dreams in the film industry.
The remaining part of this long caption is in the comment section ๐.
