Graduated with a law degree in May 2020. Taught myself how to code and got a role as a Graduate DevOps engineer in November 2021. I am now a senior DevOps engineer at a multinational tech consultancy. Pushed by my lack of understanding about the continent in February 2024, I started the Sòrò Sókè podcast. I now have over 30 episodes available on my streaming platforms: YouTube, Spotify and Apple podcasts (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgwMmZaHXFKUePuuoFxJWwg).

In September 2025, I enrolled part-time in an MSc in Global Political Economy at SOAS to gain a better understanding of how the world works, the theory behind it, and how change is made.
In October 2025, I pitched my think tank idea to judges and was selected to participate in a three-month social enterprise incubator going from ideation to product.

I am now developing The Sòrò Sókè Thinktank (https://thesorosokethinktank.com), looking for funding and showcase opportunities.
