I’m Fola and words are my thing.

I'm a multidisciplinary communicator and creative thinker with a passion for writing and storytelling.

I’m the staff writer and associate producer at Democracy in Color, a nonprofit media org at the intersection of race and politics.

I also serve as the editorial director for Sistories, a Southern-based award-winning interactive Black feminist literary magazine.

In my creative storytelling, I use the page, the stage, and the screen to explore and celebrate the realities of Black and African diaspora women. I keep a personal blog—Diaspora Eyes—to work out the ever-knotty mental kinks.

My roots originate in Nigeria and sprawl across the Atlantic from Jersey to Philly and Charlotte, North Carolina.

I love reading, walking nature trails, strolling through art museums, practicing yoga, and devouring Tate’s Bake Shop cookies.
