The moment I saw the tears rolling down Meagan Good’s eyes, I knew we had hit on something truly real, deeply universal truth about what we do when we are hit bu great adversity, and how we survive and rebuild our identities.
People in the audience tell me they were tearing up along with her as Jonathan Majors shared his story.
It’s one of the most open-hearted interviews you’ve ever seen, before a live audience.
Thank you to the incredible pioneer Chioma Ude along with Theo Ukpaa, Jennifer Mairo and my brother Adebola for making this happen.

The invitations to come share this message from Abidjan to California began to flood in literally immediately I came down the stage.
This message is urgent.
Africa needs Main Character Energy.

The ability to speak English is not evidence of anybody’s worth. When our starting point is proving that we are as good as somebody else, we have already accepted that the other person is the standard. Full piece on LinkedIn and Substack: read.withchude.com withchude.substack.com/p/afr…
Tonight at AFRIFF, I sit down with Meagan Good Majors for a conversation about the moments that shape us, the identities we outgrow, and the courage it takes to begin again. This will be special. #MadeForAfrica
Fela ignored the rules, releasing 30-minute tracks when radio demanded 3–5 minutes. He sang for Africans. We loved it. That’s how it’s done. Read the full piece on LinkedIn and Substack: read.withchude.com.
Who is the real ‘olodo’ - the one who quickly realised those schools are actually scams and quickly starts building legal alternatives as a coder or creator, or the one who follows their societies’ insistence?

The moment you stop performing for the world, the world finally begins to pay attention.
Stop trying to tell African stories to the world. Tell African stories to Africans. Let us build the canon here, and the world will subtitle us.

If you say it’s because Nigerians are not deep enough to understand your film that is why you’re not making money, edakun are you deeper than Kemi Adetiba, Jade Osiberu or Blessing Uzzi?
Stop that thing.
