Effective communication is the topic of discussion on this episode.

Why effective communication?

Enter Aderinsola Adeyemi, a diction and elocution coach based in Lagos, Nigeria. She joined us to break down diction, elocution, and best practices for communicating effectively.

Aderinsola graduated from the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife with a degree in English Language.

She’s also a presenter, voice over artist, content developer, and face model.

Blaqbonez: Music, Marketing, & Social Media

The health pandemic has upended the global economy. No industry has been spared including the live entertainment industry.

There’s also a steady glut of music and content that is being released by the second which has made it challenging for artists and creatives alike to stay relevant.

But Blaqbonez, a Nigerian rapper, seems to understand how to market and thrive in this new normal. I reached out to him to get some insights.

My time with Oliver Enwonwu

How do you price African art in a global market that often undervalues it? That’s one of the questions I discussed with Oliver Enwonwu, artist, curator, and son of the legendary Ben Enwonwu, at Omenka Gallery in March 2020. It was just days before Lagos ground to a halt.

It took many rerouted GPS directions, a close run-in with suspicious police officers, and Lagos traffic at its worst to get there on time. But by the time my team set up, Oliver was good to go.

We talked about art valuation, politics, and what it means to protect the legacy of African artists in a market that is hungry for stories and quality but reluctant to pay fair value. He also spoke on merchandising, how local artists can reclaim agency, and why cultural institutions must do more than showcase art.

It was insightful. You can listen to the interview here on wherever you listen to your podcasts (Podbean, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher Radio, Spotify, iHeartRadio).

I will be back with new interviews once I have transitioned to a safer recording schedule.

Be kind and stay safe.
