Artist‘s Statement

Ijeoma is a Nigerian American author, screenwriter and filmmaker. She uses her creativity and heart to take a deeper look at topics surrounding us. Ijeoma is interested in topics of space and belonging, analyzing how that coincides with things that may not seem to have a profound connection like STEM.
