About Ekemini
Hey, y’all.
I’m a Nigerian-American audio professional/performer/writer/retired Twitter fiend.
I assistant produced Planet v. Profit, a podcast centering the stories of climate activists and activism, I can also be found gisting about plays on Broadway Podcast Network’s Critics’ Table podcast. More recently, I worked on Vox Creative's/Ben & Jerry's Into the Mix podcast (research, episode outlining, sensitivity reading), and I am currently working as an assistant producer on season three of the FilmNation/Gilded Audio show SNAFU.
Outside of audio, I am a professional actor and a product of the “Tumblr Fandom Discourser” to “Chronically Online Twitter Pontificator” to “Published Critic and Essayist” pipeline. Bylines include TheBody, Howlround Theatre Commons, and Mental Hellth.
I graduated, cum laude, from Harvard College with an A.B. in Sociology. My social scientific work has focused on identity-based violence, white nationalism, and the U.S. carceral system.
Ekemini's Portfolio
The Critics' Table is a podcast produced by Broadway Podcast Network. The show gives critics from various backgrounds the opportunity to discuss prominent Broadway and Off-Broadway work. Here, I appeared to discuss Fat Ham at The Public Theater.
A branded Vox Creative show for Ben & Jerry's, Into the Mix is "a podcast about joy and justice." I provided background research for Episodes 9 and 10 of Season 2, as well as additional work on forthcoming episodes.
Planet v. Profit is a podcast series by Red Cup Agency for Global Witness. The podcast highlighted climate activism across the globe. In my capacity as the assistant producer, I sourced audio clips for episodes, wrote show notes, and provided script/edit feedback.
