Strategic Partner Manager
About
<p>Growing up as a Nigerian immigrant in America, my bi-cultural experience fueled my passion to help people connect with others, and the world around them, through diverse & inclusive cultural storytelling.</p> <p> </p> <p>I like to weave the themes and stories taking place in the world, into my work through content creation, talent management, marketing, partnerships, experiences, and more. I’ve successfully done so through the creation of innovative moments like RapCaviar Pantheon, pushed cultural norms with founding platforms like Black History Is Now (currently known as Frequency), and produced a VR film "Back Home| Ghana" focused on illuminating the music and cultural scene happening Ghana during Detty December.</p> <p> </p> <p>I also aspire to make the tech, music, and creative spaces more representative and equitable through programs and initiatives. I have done that by creating BLK, Spotify’s Black employee resource group aimed at improving Black employee experiences and strengthening access for marginalized communities externally. I continue to do that now, by serving as an advocate for underrepresented music communities, advising talent on how to utilize tech innovation for content creation and amplification, and by mentoring the next generation of leaders. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
