IN SHORT

Ndidi Emefiele knew from the beginning that arts was the only path for her. This strong degree of self-awareness has come with a sense of purpose, enabling her to work hard and persevere even when others doubted her vision for herself. Today her unwavering pursuit of her dream has yielded an audience for her work throughout Nigeria and abroad. “I always knew that this was what I wanted to do, and while others may have perceived it as risky, I would have done it even if it wouldn’t have worked out, rather than knowing that I didn’t do it at all. So I was ready for whatever was going to come.”
