Hi! I’m Natachi, a culture journalist based between Nairobi & D.C. looking to start freelancing again. I’ve produced long-form pieces on topics from workforce culture to local legislation (i.e. WaPo, NatGeo, Cosmo), and delivered timely reports on tight deadlines. DMs are open.

Writing can be so embarrassing. Yeah like…just kind of sitting here typing. This thing that no one asked for. 75,000 words of it, yep. Because…I like to? Mostly. Anyway, maybe it’ll be done in 3 years! Or who knows.

I’ve also worked at @washingtonpost, @BostonGlobe, @seattletimes. A few pieces I loved below: washingtonpost.com/parenting… bostonglobe.com/2021/01/14/a… seattletimes.com/life/artist…

As children’s ADHD diagnoses rise, parents discover they have it, too

“ADHD is really very strongly genetic, so it’s extremely common for parents to say, ‘I was just like this as a kid,’ or, ‘I see him. I see myself in him.’ ” says William Stixrud, founder of the...

This thread reminded me of all the incredible Black women I talked to for a Post story a few years back. Working in an office environment may be toxic for non-white people. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle…

Many Black women felt relieved to work from home, free from microaggressions. Now they’re told to...

“I was forced to be uncomfortable for the sake of financial stability,” said an unemployment claim worker in Chicago. “Now I feel safe.”

Be real: if your Black coworkers had a "temper tantrum" like this, you'd fire them & call the police. Younger people don't want to be in the newsroom because they can actually get some work done without the theatrics & distractions from their peers nyti.ms/40P6CDT

Loved “Crushing,” a new show created by Carly Steyer (@carlygoesvroom), @megancalfas and Natachi Onwuamaegbu (@natachio) at the Dixon Place theater that depicts messy, romantic love from uplifting diverse voices in a beautifully honest way.
