Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola is a Nigerian-American storyteller from Baltimore, Maryland. She is an alum of the University of Maryland College Park, where she received a dual Bachelor’s degree in Theatre and Broadcast Journalism. Kristie is an actress, filmmaker, podcast host, and journalist. She strives to create spaces where underrepresented individuals can utilize their voices and properly share their stories.

We discussed:

  • how I@ found/started in the world of theatre/the arts 
  • What she's learned about herself as a performing artist thus far.
  • The importance of not allowing others/society to confine you to a box and how realizing this was such a relief.  
  • The power of fear and how fear can really crush your dreams/take you off your path if you allow it. 
  • how I have been navigating life post-grad & transitioning into the professional environment as a storyteller.
