A message from Bisi
โ€œMost of us grew up knowing we were African without truly knowing what that meant. I built All Things Africa because our stories deserve more than a footnote. Come find out who you really are.โ€

Roots & Heritage

Origin
Nigerian heritage, raised in the UK. Bridging two worlds โ€” that gap is where her work lives.
How I learned
Over 454 posts and years of research, interviews, and lived diaspora experience โ€” she built her knowledge publicly, in community, in real time.
Recognised for
Featured in Arise Magazine. Covered Nigerian Modernism at the Tate. Hosted Know Your Roots with filmmaker Akinola Davies Jr.

โ€œMost diaspora conversations are surface level โ€” what food we eat, what music we like. I want to go deeper. The kneeling ceremony, the queens who resisted colonisation, the meaning behind the Gele โ€” this is the knowledge that makes you whole.โ€

What people say

โ€œI grew up in Manchester knowing I was Nigerian but not knowing what that actually meant in practice. Bisi's content โ€” and now this cohort โ€” gave me back something I didn't even know I'd lost.โ€

โ€œThe session on African queens who resisted colonisation genuinely changed how I talk to my daughter about where she comes from. She's seven and she already knows Queen Nzinga's name.โ€

โ€œI've followed ATA for two years. The cohort is a completely different level โ€” it's not content anymore, it's a conversation. Bisi actually talks to you like you matter.โ€
