Awakened by Kelechi Okafor

Kelechi Okafor is a British-Nigerian multidisciplinary artist, writer, presenter, actor, and political commentator. She is the creator of the podcast Say Your Mind, which explores self-reclamation through an unflinching critique of society. She has written books for children, young adults, and adults, often addressing Black identity and systemic injustice. Kelechi’s work extends beyond literature and media—she actively engages in political commentary and social advocacy, particularly on issues affecting Black women. She frequently critiques institutional racism and performative activism, calling for concrete action in support of Black communities. Through her artistic and social endeavours, she continues to push boundaries, create transformative spaces, and amplify marginalised voices.
