A non-exhaustive list of everything that makes Tolu, Tolu:
being a twin / wearing really cute outfits / owning too many clothes / being unnecessarily verbose because i can / telling everyone “you can do hard things!”, including myself / performing spoken word poetry / talking a little too much / laughing a little too loudly / being fine with that / obnoxiously Nigerian / even more obnoxiously, a Tar Heel (and Duke hater) / identifying as a self-proclaimed wordsmith, sometimes.
here to have a good time and make some really cool stuff!
i’m flattered that you wanted to get to know me.
the wordsmith in question:
I picked up a pen at 5 years old and haven’t put it down since. After years of poetry performances, publishing scalding-hot opinion pieces, and a few campaigns under my belt, I’m excited to see what else I can get my hands on.
I know I can do hard things. Let’s do it together.
