She is Africa Podcast

She went from breaking dancing at her boarding school in Nigeria to becoming an Afrobeats choreographer and internet sensation!

Izzy Odigie a Nigerian Afro-fusion dancer / choreographer started dancing at the age of 4 years old and slowly grew her skill and passion for dance. Izzy's dedication to her craft has allowed her to gain recognition on the Afro-dance scene. Now she is using her platform to build a TRYBE of Afrobeat dancers.

Moments we loved & learned

• My teammates parents or cousins would be in the crowd screaming, I would want that too…but being able to keep that moment of victory or loss as authentic as possible was important for me.
• In Afrobeats, there are really no rules… I have no excuse, I can do whatever I want!
• It takes a village / tribe to raise a child… I want to create a structure an all service agency for Afrobeats dancers

Listen to find out Izzy's creative process and the strategies she used to gain visibility as an Afro-fusion dancer / choreographer.

What is your creative process? What is one thing you must have in order to create your best work?

Moments we loved & learned

• Its necessary to reflect, recharge, and practice mindfulness
• I realized it wan't a weight issue, it was how I felt about my self. I was getting back, what I put out... I don't blame them

She is Africa Podcast 

She is Africa is… an affirmation!

She is Africa is… representation, inspiration, and motivation for the culture!

She is Africa is… new age oral story telling for African Millennials!

She is Africa is… a bridge, a mirror, and a window that connects African women & girls!

She is Africa is… how we control our narrative!

This platform was created to connect African women in the diaspora and abroad, based on the premise that what binds us together is greater than what divides us. By sharing your story along with other women, who share a similar up-bringing, we can create a sense of solidarity. My only hope is that this podcast can spark a change in the way we see each other and the way the world perceives us as African people.
