I’m Olatunji Olaigbe, a storyteller, and advocacy & development strategist. I have – and continue to work and volunteer extensively in both the media and development space.
Early in my career I never thought I’d ever need one of these
personal website thingy, they always felt a bit too extra. But here I am, still
pretty early in that aforementioned career.
As time passed – and as my passion got my hand into a lot of pots – having a place on the internet where I could pin and rope all my works became not just necessary, but compulsory to have. So, in December 2023, after thinking about having a portfolio website for a little over a year and tinkering with one too many DIY options, I asked a developer friend to help me out and here we are—ding ding ding.
Alright, I’m Olatunji Olaigbe, a storyteller, and advocacy & development strategist. I have – and continue to – work and volunteer extensively in both the media and development space. I either tell stories, help others tell their stories, or do the raw gritting development work on agriculture, tech, economic inequality, cyber and information security, climate change, and the environment. I focus on the intersection of these topics with the human and often African experience in a way that truly takes the conversation and development forward.
Do you think there’s something I could do for you? You probably won’t be here if you don’t.

an essay I almost titled “this ghost will haunt us...
"You/We are dying and here’s a stage to tell that story, but the dying needs more than a stage. The dying need a hospital. A stage is important in and of itself, and might even be a means to a hospital. but the dying needs more than a stage, especially not a commodified one."
