In this Twenty5 Podcast episode, I’m joined by Wana Udobang (TW & IG @misswanawana), an award-winning Nigerian storyteller and artist working at the intersection of writing, poetry, performance and film. We discuss what it means to be the revolution in light of recent calls for justice and change, spurred by the pandemic, Black Lives Matter, and recent incidents and conversations about sexual violence. Wana shares her advice for the next generation of storytellers, the importance of seeking out joy and she reflects on the number one thing she wishes she knew at 25.

- What to expect from season 2

- How I’m spending my time in lockdown
