Nigerian multidisciplinary writer Chiamaka Okike joins Our Black Gay Diaspora host Erick to discuss her journey as a queer African author. She shares the story behind her celebrated novella, Seeri, a queer love story set in London’s Black nightlife scene. From navigating the vulnerability of freelance creative writing, to adapting Seeri into a stage play, to reflecting on Nigerian culture, humor, and language, Chiamaka offers an honest and moving conversation about art, queerness, and community. She also explores how friendship helps to fuel her creative vision. Whether you’re a fan of literary fiction, queer storytelling, or Nigeria’s unique voice in global literature, this episode is an intimate celebration of authentic creativity and self-belief.
