Recently had the honor of sitting down with BBC News Africa to share how being Nigerian-American informs my activism and work on the new series The Diaspora Diaries.

Watch this video interview to hear more on my perspective as a Nigerian-American activist, and the journey of letting my culture guide me through all aspects of my life.

While the movement is multifaceted, there is an origin story for the co-creation of #BlackLivesMatter. I always welcome the opportunity to share about it, and to help remind folks that we stand on the shoulders of giants. We are part of a longstanding Black liberation struggle. Big thanks to the Brooklyn Nets for inviting me to be part of this storytelling project for #BlackHistoryMonth. http://ht.ly/4Xq630nUljH
