My work is rooted in Igbo Indigenous knowledge systems, which value proverbs, folktales, folksongs, and performative traditions not as remnants of the past, but as vibrant ways of understanding ecology, responsibility, and coexistence. I am particularly interested in how Indigenous narratives influence relationships among humans, animals, and the land, and how these indigenous ways of knowing persist despite colonial disruption. I'm connecting Native American indigeneity with African indigenous knowledge systems as a unique way to approach decolonial studies. I'm also exploring humor as a teaching tool.
