À propos de cet audio
In this episode of Odejuma, Harry chats with acclaimed poet and performer Titilope Sonuga. She speaks on how her personal and professional journey has shaped her as an artist and cultural storyteller. From her roots in Nigeria to her life and work in Canada, Titi speaks with vulnerability and wisdom about the power of embracing creativity, even in the face of uncertainty.
She reflects on her time as Edmonton’s Poet Laureate (2021–2023), her Dora Award nomination for her work in "Sankofa: The Soldier’s Tale Retold," and how acting in the popular Nigerian series "Gidi Up" expanded her artistic horizons.
Titi also discusses the impact of cultural duality on her art, exploring the evolving meaning of sisterhood with her most recent album and how motherhood has transformed her creative process. At the heart of the conversation is a call for a broader understanding of celebrating different artistic expressions, especially ones that embrace experimentation, imperfection, and personal growth.
