Tokunbo Podcast Trailer

Jola Naibi was raised in Lagos, went to school in the U.K., has lived in Switzerland and now calls the U.S. her home. She has been writing creatively from the diaspora for more than twenty years and is the author of TerraCotta Beauty, a collection of short stories which capture the essence of life in the city of Lagos. Her work has also been featured in Afreada, midnight & indigo, Isele Magazine, and lϙúnlϙún. 

Recognizing the unique set of circumstances faced by Nigerian writers in the diaspora, Jola started the Tokunbo podcast series to amplify their narratives and provide a platform to have in-depth conversations on their creative processes, challenges, and the ways their heritage shapes their storytelling. 

The goal is to foster cross-cultural dialogue, connect global audiences to diverse literary perspectives, and inspire emerging writers who are navigating similar experiences.
