It was an honour to sit down with such a talented...skilled..multi-award wining poet... inspirational...activist...chai! What more can I say! But what a twist...she is...shy??? Sit with us as we work through her poetry and story on this episode of Whispers And Growls. Shall I make it my life's mission to get her to growl one day?😈
Her poems at:03:40 - To My Village People21:59 - A Hopeless Romantic
I'm out of practice time to get back into the lab...
What does a love poem sound like in Yoruba. I sat down with one of the poets who performed at Serenade Lagos to go through his poetry. Yusuf Àlàbí Balógun (Àrẹ̀mọ Gemini) is a multifaceted artist, poet, storyteller, TEDx speaker and art specialist, with a core focus in Yorùbá arts and culture. Recipient of Horn of Afroclassical Merit Award for excellence in the propagation of arts and culture (2018), his art is guided by so many drives, one of which is to sell out the O2 Arena, London for Yorùbá oral arts. His art is heavily influenced by grassroot realities, female emancipation, marginalised tales and historical preservation.

I met with the brilliant Huwa, a poet, spoken word artist, and voice actor, to read some of her poetry in preparation for this special season.
Find more about Huwa here:https://www.instagram.com/i.am.huwa/https://www.tiktok.com/@i.am.huwa
I met up with another Booktok voice actor who recently went viral for doing what I was doing on TikTok. Get ready to listen to two grown men growl and grunt at each other XD.
This is what practice looks like, I'm on my way to my 10,000 hours. The clean edit will be on YouTube soon!
Practice session for some of the coolest villains ever!

I've been slacking on my PFTI collection. Time to get some requests in!
First poem "The Fool" is by Emmanuel Borges-Da-Silva from one of his books "Poetic Persuasion: The Young Carer's Ink"
The second poem is from Irum Zahra. from a soon-to-be-published book. So...this was pretty much a sneak peek. I'll update this description when it comes out! You'll find more about her here.
