010 | Ayo-Dele at TEDxEuston - How it all began. (Recorded Dec 2013)
Dec 2013 I was 8.5 months pregnant, I had an invitation to do a Ted talk (TedxEuston) earlier in the year, and to be honest I didn’t think about what my state would be come December, on the day as soon as I finished speaking I received a big kick of approval. In this episode I share the story that sparked ‘Becoming’ because when my friend saw this Ted Talk, and suggested to help me develop it into a solo piece.
On the 31st March I will be sharing the rehearsed reading I did in 2018 at Stratford Circus Arts Centre.
