I makethings upfor a living.

The stories are made up.
The emotions are real.

  • Writer.
  • Creative.
  • Plot twister.
  • Dreamer.
  • Problem solver.
  • Still figuring it out (and that’s ok).

African stories. Global audiences.

About Dami

Stories have
always been my
first love.

From radio to screen, I’ve spent my life chasing stories that make us feel, think and see ourselves a little differently.

I’m a screenwriter, aspiring director and the founder of Avari Studios. I tell African stories for local and global audiences — the messy, beautiful, complicated, hilarious kind.
