"As an aspiring actor and writer, I've always been passionate about storytelling. Growing up in Badagry local government, Ibiye, Lagos State I was fascinated by the way movies and TV shows could transport me to different worlds and make me feel seen.
I remember spending hours watching old films with my family and trying to recreate the scenes with my siblings. As I got older, my love for storytelling only grew stronger.
Despite facing several challengee, I've continued to pursue my dreams in the entertainment industry. I've had the opportunity to work on Remfyn Media Concept, which has taught me so much about the craft and business of storytelling.
I'm excited to connect with other creatives on Stage 32 and learn from their experiences. What's your story? What inspires you to create?"

Hi Emola, excellent question. My inspiration to create has changed from when I first started out. I can tell you now that it comes from my desire to support personal change for others. Originally it was about supporting my own personal change. To an extent that still holds true but I hold that in balance with supporting others too.

Welcome to the community, Emola Durojaye. Great to meet you. I started writing short stories in elementary school, then I stopped writing to draw until I was 13 when I wrote another short story. I didn't do much writing after that story until I was in 12th grade when I started writing scripts. What inspires me to create is having stories to tell.
