I'm 22.
Honestly most of my flexes can't fit into one quote.
Anyway,
-I graduated at 21 with a degree in English last year from Babcock University.
-I was top five in my department.
-At 19, I co-founded @AsEqualsAfrica
as a way of providing a safe space for female creatives.

-At 19 too, I interned with @Wimbiz as a comms intern.
-That year too, I protested at the We Will Not Be Silent Lagos protests on gender based violence.
-Still that year, I was made the Vice President of my department in school.
-I also got invited that year to panels with TEAW

and WWNBS.
-At 19, lest I forget I got published with @akereview and @TGLMtweets.
Most of what I was writing revolved around sex and gender roles.
-At 20, I created the #SayHerNameNigeria hashtag to speak on the dehumanization of women by the Nigerian police.

-At 20, I came out to my parents.
I never thought I will survive that but we are here.
-At 20, I got my first paycheck as a writer for a poem I wrote for @Gumbo_Media.
Fun fact: It was the opening act and was selected from thousands of entries.
-At 20, I had a cameo in BBC's

#SexForGrades.
I will later go on at 21 to be a contract researcher for them.
-At 21, I was nominated by @YNaija for a Diversity Award shortly after I led a team of writers, filmmakers and designers to bring to life a special series on rape culture.
(Check my pinned tweet).

-At 21, I was chosen by @Medium as a Top Writer in Feminism.
-At 21, I started a podcast called As Angel Was Sayin' to discuss women's issues and gender inequality drawing from my work as a journalist in both fields.
-At 21, I covered #Endsars as a journalist and did not die.

-At 21, I entered into the world of literary gatekeeping when I edited my first recognized book.
I still can't describe how it felt seeing my name as the editor on it.

I cried that day bc I never thought it would come true.
It's a book by @Jesutomisin_.
Check his pinned & buy.

Now at 22,
-I am an editor with a pretty good pay considering that I have no plans of doing NYSC yet.
-I am a freelance journalist working with bylines too many to mention here.
Some include Document Women, YNaija, An Owerri Babe, Peerless Mag & Radical Notion to name a few.

At 22,
-I am the editor for a first of its kind anthology of poetry by young Nigerian female poets.

Oh I forgot to mention at 21 I was also the main content strategist for a tech based wealth creation company.
That year too, I ventured into artist management as a PR chic.

At 20 I also worked as a marketing & communications intern with Wave Academies.
At 21, I worked with BRMC Media too.

I am currently 22 and still have a lot I've set my mind on.
In the time being, read my Medium blog.

You can listen to my podcast too.
I also am venturing into audio production and voice acting so hit me up if you need your ebook or animation voiced.

Oh I also forgot to add here that at age 20 I was invited to see the British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria based off my work as a feminist.

I also was a key speaker at the COZA protests at age 20 too.
Also, at age 21 I tried starting a skincare business which failed.

Also, at 18, I won the Nigerian Teen Choice for Spoken Word Poetry.
There are other things I've done that I'm sure I cannot remember at the moment.
At 22, I was judging literary awards for magazines like Kito Diaries.

Whatever the case, my portfolio bangs with a capital B.
