In Part 1 of the Igbopedia Igbo Authors Series, I'm in conversation with my cousin, Dillibe Onyeama. Dillibe is the Founder and CEO of Delta Publications. The son of Charles Dadi Onyeama (influential judge of the International Criminal Court, The Hague) and the grandson of Chief Onyeama, Dillibe was the first black boy to complete his studies at Eton College, in the UK. He subsequently wrote a book while still a teenager about his experiences of racial discrimination and bullying at the elite British boarding school. In this episode, we discuss our family, his experiences at Eton and his career as an author.

My guest is Amarachi Attamah, also known as 'nwanyi Igbo' (Igbo woman). She is a performance poet, broadcaster and author. We discuss the Igbo language, her performance in Three Sisters and promoting the Igbo culture in an authentic way.

My guest is Nnamdi Iregbulem. He is a Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, a US-headquartered venture capital firm. On this episode, Nnamdi joins me in conversation from Silicon Valley where he invests in and advises start-ups that build next-generation technology. We talk about his early life, his work and what he is passionate about.
