In this episode of The Ideas Machine, Helena Traill is joined by storyteller and creative entrepreneur “The Mansu’ (Mansurah Alli-Oluwafuyi) to explore how creativity acts as a tool for survival, advocacy, and business.
Mansu reflects on her diverse journey from a decade in corporate HR and management consulting to the "excruciating" world of tech startups. She shares how these experiences informed the launch of her creative IP studio, Turtle and Bloom Media, and her project Move – a chatbook featuring 30 action words and poems born from love letters she wrote to herself while navigating depression and business failure.
