For about 20 years I have explained complicated things to large audiences: on morning radio, on national television, in a government minister's office, and now online.
About
Abuja · Lagos · ColumbusI started on Lagos radio, anchoring Lagos This Morning on Eko FM and presenting on TopRadio 90.9 as "Azaria." I went on to run a radio station in Abuja and to serve as Special Assistant on Digital and Communication Strategy to a federal minister. Today I lead presentation at a national television channel.
Along the way I learned to build the tools as well as the message. I have launched websites, subscription products and an online course for American adults over 50, writing the scripts and building the platforms myself.
I now live in the Columbus area and work across communications, media relations and digital content.
