Imuetinyan Ugiagbe is a visual storyteller and journalist who happens to be visually impaired. She was born in Lagos Nigeria and immigrated to the states at the age of 14. Imuetinyan has been a writer and host for the Young African Symposium, a yearly event put together by the Council of Young Africans. She is also a contributing writer for the Girls Education Initiative of Ghana, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide educational and financial support to keep girls in school. She is an activist for women's rights across the African Diaspora and has produced TV stories for Voice of America. She believes stories can wound, heal, divide, unite, elevate and depress. Just as water and air are the primary sources for human survival, stories are the primary source for human connections. Her greatest goal as a storyteller is to tell stories that will ignite positive change in others’ lives, just as the stories she heard as a child brightened her world. You can find more from Imuetinyan through her YouTube Channel IU.Media where she covers 2 shows On The Bench and another show that focuses on Political and Socioeconomic issues that impact Africans in the States and abroad.
