Titilope Sonuga’s Spoken Word Poetry is Nothing Short of Beautiful! Watch Her TedX Talk Video
Her voice is like a soothing balm over an open wound. Her words are as refreshing as a tall glass of water to a parched tongue. She is Titilope Sonuga – trained engineer and natural poet.
With her role in Season II of NdaniTV‘s series Gidi Up, Titilope came into the spotlight and we’ve been intrigued by her amazing talent. She released her first album of poems ‘Mother Tongue’ on iTunes in 2013.
We found her TedX Edmonton talk and we’re not surprised at the passion behind her words.
Check on it!

Oh my Titilope! You are indeed gifted. Yes I agree with you ‘even nowhere is a place’. Reminds me of a saying I came across years ago from the inaugural speech of a Unilag Professor- even nothing is something. Brilliant work Titi. This is inspiring

Thanks Titilope. This feels so good to hear. I’m dealing with a heartbreak that feels like it’s the end of the world, it does feel like being nowhere.
Thank you and may you continue to reach the lives of many with your gift.

This is beautiful, and refreshing. And I am not even a huge fan of poetry. Beautiful….It is great to see celebrities who aren’t just about designer stuff and instagram drama. Someone with a brilliant mind. Refreshing.

Eki! I fell in love with her since I saw the episode of Gidi Up in which she gave a speech at the launch of her gallery or whatever it was. Lol, even though I knew she was acting out her script but that speech was very intelligent and watching her here, she has not disappointed me in real life. She’s beautiful in a not-in-your-face way, it’s refreshing.
