Design and Inequality
For the past few weeks, Nigerians all over the world have been calling for an end to police brutality. These protests have gone on to mark the beginning of a call for good governance and accountability across the board.
On this podcast episode, I examine all these happenings through the lens of architecture and urban design.
Far From Home
I sat with my friends from undergraduate school to discuss what going abroad for our masters was like after spending about 16+ years within the Nigerian Education System. We spoke about the culture shock, missing home, racism and how the application process was like.
