Sadia Alao is a director, writer, filmmaker, and performer.
Her work involves uplifting and creating space for marginalized lives with a focal point on telling stories that center on the empowerment of Black communities. She plans on one day heading her own multimedia production company highlighting the success and narratives of people of color.
As an artist, she is most inspired by my grandmother who raised 5 children in a small village in Kwara State, Nigeria. Though uneducated herself, she put all her children through school by selling palm oil on busy street markets. This determination is what led her mother 6,000 miles away to a better future. This determination is what breathes in her. She creates from what she’s experienced firsthand and from proverbs and accounts that precede her.
