Ijeoma enjoys cooking and creating web content for small businesses. 

Professionally, she has held positions where relationship-building is important, and currently works as a Stakeholder Relations Analyst. 

She believes that Africa’s stories are often absent online, narrowly told or focused on negative perspectives. This shapes the narrative of how Africa is perceived. She has found talking about food and introducing people to the richness of African cuisine to be an effective medium for capturing diverse African stories, highlighting our common humanity and connecting a new audience to a broader narrative on Africa.

Yemi is passionate about Africa and sharing the African narrative in all its rich glory. 

She believes that Africa’s history and culture which has been passed down through oral tradition will be lost with time without documentation. 

Professionally, she is an economist, which essentially means she tell simple stories with complicated numbers. I have worked in multiple fields including finance, health and, currently, oil and gas.
