Her expressive writing includes life essays and autoethnographical memoir-polemics encompassing her schooling across Africa, Europe and Asia. She also writes Yorùbá-centred short stories and poetry on social justice and topics celebrating our common humanity. Her work has been published in anthologies, she presents at academic conferences, and performs at literary festivals and events.
