In this live interview on WORT 89.9 FM, I spoke about my work as a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I taught Yoruba language and culture.
We explored my journey as a language educator, the impact of cultural storytelling in diaspora spaces, and my ongoing advocacy for indigenous knowledge systems.
Highlights include:
1️⃣My creative approach to teaching Yoruba
2️⃣Yoruba numerals projects — books, web app
3️⃣The caller who asked if I would still be teaching next semester
This conversation is part of my broader effort to preserve, promote, and humanize the Yoruba language globally.
➕ This interview is archived in A Full Bright Year: Journal of an Ará Ọkọ Lámẹ́ — my multimedia report on a transformative Fulbright year.
