My name is Omotayo Jemiluyi, a researcher, writer, and cultural thinker committed to exploring the textured intersections of African gender(ed) identities, mobilities, postcoloniality, and the arts. I write and research to reclaim voice, ground my work in African-centered epistemologies, and make space for stories that resist silence. Whether through academic writing or personal reflection, I return to the power of language, the everyday, lived experience, and resistance as tools for (re)imagining African expressions of being.
