Having schooled and lived in several countries, I learned to ask the question 'What is the story here?' And I learned to tell those stories through a post-colonial diaspora lens. And I make stories in a variety of mediums and spaces.

I travel the world transferring research and professional performance experience into diverse environments and communities. A key aspect of this work is designing story-making concepts for informal ensembles, interdisciplinary training and intercultural learning and dialogue.

I apprenticed as a theatre artist in Sierra Leone with Tabule Tiata and Gbakanda Tiata in Chapletown, Leeds, studying under Artistic Directors Dele Charley and Yulisa Amadu Maddy. As a performer I have worked extensively in theater/film/radio/voice overs, learning from some of the UK's most innovative and brilliant Directors: Steven Berkoff, Adrian Noble, Michael Boyd, Kathryn Hunter and leading decolonial thinkers such Rolando Vasquez and Walter Mignolo.

As an Animateur and African Performing Artist I have been facilitating tribalsoul since 1991 - a laboratory for African Diaspora performance aesthetics exploration and critical dialogue.
